May 1, 200718 yr QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 1, 2007 -> 07:58 PM) I was shocked at the flow Olsen had actually. For a white guy, he can spit pretty well (although he says he didn't write the lyrics, but whatever). Kudos to the #31 pick in that regard. that's good to know. i haven't heard the song, but when i was picturing olsen rapping i couldn't get steve fuller out of my head. that's what made the "dick in the ear" reference so funny to me.
May 1, 200718 yr Reading Sleazak's and Moron-atti's columns today my biggest concern with the guy wasn't his language in rapping but his choice in agents....he's a Rosenhaus guy. UGH!!!!!!!!!
May 1, 200718 yr QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 1, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) She was shaking in anger???? LMAO Sure a girl wouldnt like that song. Uh Carol, he was 18 years old when he did this, in college. Lets not go overboard on what happened in a dorm or frat in college when they were 18. I am sure that a lot of things that people did in college at 18 through say whatever is not going to go on your resume. People need a reality check. Yep, there should be a 100% pass on all college behavior. This is the one time that you can treat humans like garbage plenty of time to act human later. I can't wait to you guys have daughters. You will be so much cooler than adults now "Hey man, sing that one where you stick your dick in my daughters ear, I love that"

You may have even succeeded! You know, she was someone's daughter also. He just talked about doing stuff, you may have actually DONE it! GASP! Your point is taken, but again, you don't need to go to the extreme. Freshmen in college do stupid crap. learning from it is part of growing up. Where is your compassion here? Should he never work a day in his life because he once rapped about b****es and hoes? Should anyone who has ever said 'n*****' be forced to be unemployed? i mean, if they had that racist attitude when they were 16 or 18, who knows what it may have turned into by the time they reached 21! They can't be allowed to mingle in polite society! Rapping with bad lyrics? make him wear the Vanilla Ice necklace for the rest of his life so he will be shunned by all! And FYI, alot of the girls in college (and high school!) now talk worse that those rap lyrics!
May 1, 200718 yr The attitude that the women who are offended should get a reality check was more offensive to me. Guys just having fun? Dissing them as hoes. Reducing them to less than human for laughs? Sorry, women have a right to be offended by that. The early eighties, when I was in college, was far different. Aids was starting to really hit. The ERA was on its death bed, the free love and drugs had run its course. Rap was just starting to gain an audience. I believe there was much more respect for people then than now. In music, on tv, and movies.
May 1, 200718 yr These same dirt merchant columnists would be chastising Olsen for "not being a team player" or "marching to the beat of a different drummer" causing a rift in the ever valuable team chemistry were he to abstain from such team building activities as the 7th Floor Crew.

You will be so much cooler than adults now "Hey man, sing that one where you stick your dick in my daughters ear, I love that" Should women find it offensive? Yeah probably, which is why Olsen and everybody in this song was stupid to actually record it, this should stay behind closed doors. However, like it or not, talk like this happens in every college dorm room/apartment/party out there. The question is whether or not they are messing around with their comments or not, and it sure as hell doesn't sound like they are serious. I am the biggest hater of "DA U" out there, but I had no problem with this when it originally came out other than the stupidity of actually recording it for others to hear, and I feel the same way now. And even my female friends who I asked about this story out of curiosity said it was just "boys being boys". Doesn't make it right, but doesn't mean it's hurting anybody either.

I would contest that women's lib, the decreasing amounts of clothes attractive women wear, and alcohol (all choices by said gender) have declined the image of women more than rap music. These girls in the rap videos are there by choice, as are the girls gone wild trash, and so on. Bad parenting, and to a much smaller extent the takeover of political correctness have hurt society far more than rap music.
May 2, 200718 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 1, 2007 -> 11:49 AM) How is this any worse than any random rap song? Is there the same outrage over Beason's role in the recording or do people in Carolina just not care? Just curious. The voice of reason-I believe another drafted player was in that group too-
May 2, 200718 yr Translation: G-Reg = Greg Olsen Get head = Score Touchdowns Drop my drawers = a great move off the line Third leg = kicking in that extra gear 7th floor = the endzone chickens = the opponents hoes = the secondary On my balls, on my dick = where the other team will be on Sunday dick = the ball breasts = the goal posts fellas = teammates weird = pumped up for the game dick in her ear = stiff arm to the face these guys = teammates a second nut all in her eyes = 2nd TD * Also, please note that any female reference is directed towards the players on GB, DET, and MIN.

Instead of blaming rap music, I think we can look throughout pretty much all of modern history and learn that women have just about always been treated like second class citizens.

May 2, 200718 yr QUOTE(danman31 @ May 1, 2007 -> 11:08 AM) David Haugh never went to college You can read about this stuck up prick b**** about it. Seriously, has he never been in a college dorm? Wow, the trib tries to pull a fast one. click that link now, and its a new story posted early today (may 2nd, instead of the original May 1st) that has completely changed its tune. The old article is no where to be found. Haugh tried to respond to my email with that link telling me to re-read it. I can't believe he thinks that in this day and age, I'd fall for a trick like that.

I wouldn't blame any one factor, music, art, etc all reflect societal values. As the values go to hell, the art reflects it. But, yes, that is a great point.
May 3, 200718 yr I have to admit this song is pretty catchy (mainly the corus), I've had it in my head the last couple of days.
