Censoring Rock Music

What?

Since when has music been censored?

My opinion is that bold, magenta type is a crime against humanity.

i think you're a good 20 years late to the censorship party (which failed btw) and bordering on being prejudiced / racist, and most definitely clueless.

I was stoned when i posted this. . dang this is the last time im getting really stoned.

How the hell is that racist?

this will be my excuse to everything from now on.

I think it's a terrible idea to censor music, you have to be stoned or something to even think that. Come on, all music, yes, even rap, is valid and worthwhile. Besides, Kanye West has taken rap into a whole new century of awesome.

"only rap and hip-hop should be censored" my God Jim i'm a Doctor not Captain Obvious! ;)

His early wordplay was alright, but he's pretty bottom of the barrell in a sub-genre he helped to shape.

I think rock should be censored...damn kids and their rock and roll music.

Kinda biased.... but Censored rap bothers me a whole lot more then rock considering usually with rock Ive heard them say other words that sound like one the 7 words instead of the actually word a good bit. BTW the radio and network TV suck.... Just stay away from it until they get the point.

Then again censorship is retarded on the radio... I mean one guy cant say the S word but The Ying Yang twins can skeet skeet everywhere :P

This pisses me off.... that you blame pot. Thats one of the reasons why it has a hard time be accepted by everyone because people blame their dumb ideas on it.

Damn that Buddy Holly!

Spot on. That'd be like a 30 year old man blaming his car wreck on account of the sugery-cereal he had for breakfast.

so... is the issue actually censorship or the fact that some people are ending up with edited albums?

releasing a clean vs. uncut album is NOT censorship. it's marketing. there's a difference. if real censorship was actually happening there would be no alternate versions.

also, lame on the pot excuse. either learn how to handle your smoke or don't puff. weed doesn't make you stupid, it makes being bored not suck.

I couldn't have put it better.

i totally got that from south park hahaha

So I guess there's no such thing as white rappers, or black rock/metal musicians then.

Oh for goodness sake stop splitting hairs. Like do I really have to go into this with you? It's not even a good thread.

I never said it was a good thread. I just find that comment absurd. I love it when people throw out the race card just because someone either doesn't like or criticizes rap music.

it's not because it's against rap music it because they wanted to apply censorship to a predominantly non-white style while removing any element of censorship to a predominantly white style. what else do you call that?

you might also want to try reading an understanding the full comment before trolling next time too. i said they were bordering on racism with their initial comment. the door was still open to graciously remove their foot from their mouth, or they could use the youthful ignorance card by not remembering how close actual censorship came to happening in the late 80s. if they were only born in the 90s slack would be cut and knowledge would be dropped.

do you actually have something worth reading to say about censorship in music or do you just want to keep arguing semantics?

:laughing:

My only point in this pointless thread: Censorship in any form sucks. Freedom of expression is all we have, the one thing that's left. **** censorship <- :laughing: @ fuck being bleeped.

Well, all music genres have the occasional F word or killing prostitutes; either way, we can't be for one and against another no matter how much we dislike one.

I think if they dont censor one then they cant censor the other. I can see why they would censor it in the radio were theres little kids listening, and I hate it, since a song is playing and it ramdomly gets muted or the lyrics change. You should listen to addicted the song about how the guys misses having sex with this girl and in the radio version is really different

I dislike the argument "It's negatively affecting children". Anything that people see a need to censor is most likely not for kids in the first place. If you can't keep your kid from seeing Marilyn Manson, you probably can't parent. :P

First off I wanna say that nothing should be censored, music is freedom of expression freedom of speech they take that away with censorship :yeah:

This thread is so wrong.





But it's the wrong threads that make me laugh.

i love that song. is it by saving abel? saving abels addicted?
