This Song Is Nominated for a Grammy Record of the Year...
:laughing:and exactly what the F*#K is wrong with that?:laughing:
It's not about the song... it's about the acceptance by society, of such a song. It's lyrics are no deeper then it's title. This is not great music... it's barbaric. Barbarism has existed throughout all of time... and has been condemned. It is the acceptance of it as mainstream, that has changed. It has changed because it has become a cultural norm. Any complaint of that culture... regardless of it's good intention... is deemed as racist. -Even though it is anti civilizational. Would it be accepted and hoisted to Grammy status, if were a sung by the likes of Cole Porter... or any other great generational singer ? Combine this with the Smithsonian institutes **** erotic exposition... with a display of Jesus with ants crawling all over him... and being portrayed as art -Those are some catchy tunes.
Besides, in 20 or 30 years nobody is going to give a hoot that they use the word **** a dozen times, society always seems like it's going down the tubes, old Romans complained that the younger generations were soft because they walked around with shoes instead of going barefoot like real men. Times change, people don't.
Norm to who? In what circles is Cee lo green's song the norm?It's not about the song... it's about the acceptance by society, of such a song. It's lyrics are no deeper then it's title. This is not great music... it's barbaric. Barbarism has existed throughout all of time... and has been condemned. It is the acceptance of it as mainstream, that has changed.

It's not the song or the art. It is the honoring of such acts that I am showing instance of... as it speaks to an unsophistication of society as a whole. It speaks to equality... not greatness. We have gone from condemnation to acceptance to honoring, barbarism.
What you have written is all fine and true... -it is what is deemed as praiseworthy and basis for idealization of mediocre achievement as a goal for future artists... that has been the norm in the last couple of decades. Society as a whole has been made to celebrate meagerness and mediocrity -in place of greatness... diluting greatness, itself. Mediocrity is celebrated as cultural achievements... without care for what those achievements -evolves that culture in to. This gives the impression that all young black men (or white) of any intercity should speak and act in this manner... and if you do not... you have no chance at achieving the norm for greatness.
