RIP DMX

Honestly wish I hadn’t posted it. Just I see RIP posts all the time for people I don’t know or care for and I either say RIP or I leave it, I don’t come on and give my opinion on the man or make a joke out of it.
 
Alf-keep your cool we are entitled to say RIP to a fellow human being ( and mean it) even if we are not familiar with the man.

Entitled to say whatever you want and RIP is fine by me, I just think being snide about his music on an RIP post is a bit of a ** move and also happy to express that opinion
 
Why do you guys have to be snide about it? Maybe people like different music from you. Maybe that is an incredibly iconic performance to a culture that is fuck all to do with you.
Not being snide. Its simply not iconic if the vast majority of the population have no knowledge of it.

Beatles on the roof of Apple studios. Iconic music performance.

This?

That’s actually not the definition of iconic at all, iconic is when something is indicative and symbolic of a culture or a time or a religion or whatever. But you think the vast majority of the population is white middle class Europeans if you think Beatles on the rooftop is iconic by that metric. Trust me there have been some iconic performances across countries and cultures you aren’t acquainted with. The vast majority of people who grew up in the 90s or afterwards know about DMX at Woodstock. By your made up definition the world’s most iconic performance is probably a boy band in China.

And you are completely being snide, any other time I would happily take your opinion but they just turned this man’s life support machine off after his brain wouldn’t function. There’s no need man.

I wouldn't want him dead and I'm sorry he is.

How about these lyrics, Alf

‘And I'm gunnin' for your spouse, tryin' to send the bitch back to her maker
And if you got a daughter older than 15, I'ma rape her
Take her on the livin' room floor, right there in front of you
Then ask you seriously, whatchu wanna do?
Frustratin', isn't it? Wanna kill me, but I'ma kill you
Now watch me fuck just a little while longer, please, will you?’

They're incredible if you understand what they, and what he is about, and what happened to him growing up. I don't expect or ask you to.

But I fear you've missed my point a little bit or chosen not to care. I could think of a million things I don't like about Prince Phillip for example, but today is not the time and his RIP thread is not the place. So I just leave it, respectfully.

Can also see from your posts above you don't know who he is. So why have you just trawled through his lyrics trying to pull something out of context to talk shit about him?

Sorry guys, I'm not trying to be difficult here, I just don't understand why this shit had to get so complicated. Especially if you literally don't know the guy.

If there's any mods around I'd ask you just delete the thread as it's the complete opposite of what I intended.
