KRS-One was just on Hannity's America on FOX News and was accused of laughing at 9/11! How stupid is that? KRS is one of the most peaceful MCs in the game and so is Tim (producer, MC whatever you wanna call em).iwontusethisblogagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221554659818838265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-2552983710336563122007-05-08T12:32:00.000-07:002007-05-08T12:32:00.000-07:00the thing is that Timbo's on-record persona, where...the thing is that Timbo's on-record persona, where he does talk about bitches, buryin' "niggas" etc. (on <I>Shock Value</I> at least) is so obviously just a lazy takeoff on regular hip-hop stereotypes, and the beats're supposed to be the focus. i guess you could argue that it doesn't go over well with the younguns, but then he doesn't do that stuff near as much as most other ones, and a lot of his records have a real light vibe.<BR/><BR/>then again i doubt FRC has heard a note of Timbo's music, they'd probably call out anyone so long's they're hip hop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-70111295963094189042007-05-08T08:16:00.000-07:002007-05-08T08:16:00.000-07:00As usual, right wingers are trying to manipulate a...As usual, right wingers are trying to manipulate a current situation for their own benefit. Timbaland is a far cry from a misogynist, although he does curse (who the fuck cares). Regardless the "character" that he plays on his records is different than the person he is in real life. It's the freedom that being an artist affords you. Could a actor that played Hitler in a movie be accused of being a murdering racist? If Timbaland was on a radio show and he started calling women bitches and hoes that would be a completely different set of circumstances than reference those words on vinyl. That said, some hip hop lyrics are hate filled and completely over the top. In my opinion, Timbaland does not even approach this category.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816446536280393634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-66569319596050849842007-05-08T06:43:00.000-07:002007-05-08T06:43:00.000-07:00Well...For starters I think Timbo picked the wrong...Well...<BR/>For starters I think Timbo picked the wrong candidate. Clinton being bland and doing politics-as-usual is exactly the contrary of what Timbaland is.<BR/><BR/>I would be interested in finding out the reasons for such a decisionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
