OutKast sucks because of this:
*
I know you’d like to thank your shit don’t stank
But lean a little bit closer
See that roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo*
I was subjected to this immature and unbelievably irritating lyric the other day at the gym. There’s no excuse for such annoying songwriting. I used to like OutKast when they first became popular, but I’ve lost ALL RESPECT for them because of that line.
I have a couple of cheat sheets of lyrics composed by my grandson Brandon and his cousin Kyle, back when they were fascinated by doo-doo insults; I’ll be glad to forward them along!
Yes, it indeed is not like the good old days when they wrote such erudite gems as
“Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us
We the type of people make the club get crunk”
That’s not nearly as bad as the ones they wrote about turning the entire Arab world into a parking lot and killing all Muslims…oh wait. They didn’t write that.
Outkast are best known for two things: great fuckin’ beats and a goofy-wry sense of humor. I mean, just look at some of the other lines from Roses: I wanna see your support bra, not support you! She got a hottie’s body, but her attitude is potty Caroline - she’s the reason for the word ‘bitch’
I hope she’s speedin’ on the freeway tryin to to hurry up to get to some baller or singer or someone like that and try to put on her makeup in the mirror and crash, crash, crash,
into a ditch! Just playin’.
It’s a catchy song with some funny lyrics that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Hardly worthy of pool cue sodomy, but I guess some people are more eager to find an occasion for that kind of thing than I.
Well, Paul, you oughtta tune in to L’il Kim some day and listen to her singing about her boyfriend’s (or more likely, boyfriends [no apostrophe]) “big-ass dick and hurricane tongue,” or “I got the magic clit…I get licked once, I get licked twice…,” or from the first South Park CD: “You think I’m pussy? I dare you to stick your dick in this!”
All of this from the CD of my 17 year old neice.
And people wonder why the conservative contingent in this country is fed up. :rolleyes:
I actually think it’s a pretty great song - the first time you hear it, you dismiss it as just a song confessing love to some girl (Caroline). The second time you hear it, well, wait a minute, she’s a total bitch, he hates her.
I should point out that this woman is also doing commercials for Old Navy and popping up on the likes of Regis and Kelly Rippa’s show…but not in her true guise. The real L’il Kim is kept hidden away under such circumstances. (I guess mid-morning soccer moms just aren’t “ghetto” enough to appreciate her true self.)
I thought South Park and explicit lyrics had already faded from the conservative spotlight? I mean, it’s time to get back to really important matters like keeping queers in their place.
