re: Favorite Song by Too $hort

Based on the trajectory of music of the 1990’s, and white kids starting to get into hard core rap at the same time, I would have thought that music in the 2020’s would be so unapologetically vile and offensive that I would find it a bit too much. Does the Gen-X to Millenial transition in popular music mark the first time music has gotten LESS offensive?
The boomers introduced drug use in their music (“everybody must get stoned”), the silent generation got it going with “rock and roll” in general. And prior to that we’re talking jazz and folk songs. But in general each generation pushed a boundary that wasn’t pushed before. That seems to stop with Gen-X entirely, and starts reversing itself.
I mean, “Blurred Lines” took some heat, but it’s got nothing on Too $hort or 2 Live Crew’s entire catalogue. And then throw in “OPP” or “It wasn’t me” glorifying adultery. Jeremy spoke in class today by blowing his brains out.

Wet arse pussy
The females were few back then. I’m thinking lil Kim dirty, but is she even mainstream as some of these chicks today?
That’s prob where the diff is. It’s the females bringing it.

Because the majority of ‘rap’ for this generation is sound cloud generated noises and an occasional ‘yuh’ ‘yeet’ ‘skkrttt’ mixed in the mumbling.
I’m sure the lyrics are trying to be equally as edgy, the problem is no one can understand a word these idiots are saying.

Marilyn Manson and Early Eminem would like a word. Eminem was rapping about killing his Mom ffs.

Drug references in popular music long pre-dated the boomer generation.

OPP by Naughty By Nature? WTF are you talking about? There isn't a single inappropriate word in that song. He said the P is a 5 letter word. It could mean pride, proof, pluto, peach, etc.
