Grammys: Why did they let that clown ruin Sting's song?

[The Fruity Hare]

Rap is for kids. Talking doesn't make you an artist. Real musicians shouldn't sell out and let these clowns sample their music and butcher their songs.



See Lumix, now he's saying that Sting isn't a real musician.

That's exactly my point!

 

[The Fruity Hare]

He's insulting Sting as much as he is insulting Rap.

So if Sting sells out, he isn't a real musician?

 

[Lumix]

Who was that kid rap group that wore baggy pants backwards? I forget their name?

Ever hear of Bob Dylan?

Would you consider poetry with music behind it "for kids"

 

[The Fruity Hare]

Who's music does the new Cadillac use for advertising?

Who sold 'Start Me Up' to Microsoft?

Everyone sells out at some point.

This is what it's about today. If you're out of the loop, don't blame it on the artists.

 

[Lumix]

I thought R. Kelly was in jail for child molestation charges or pornography??

It has been proven that by "selling-out", "real musicians" are allowing their music to be presented to a new generation who would not have otherwise heard it which also results in sales ot the music from the original artist to the younger generations.

I guess Jimmy Page and Aerosmith, to name a couple sold out

 

[The Fruity Hare]

No, it doesn't make it right, but that's the way it is. All for the $$$$..
Even the Anti-everything Sex Pistols admitted they were out just for the money on their 'Filthy Lucre' tour.

 

[Lumix]

Is this kinda like George Lucas finally allowing Star Wars to be on DVD?

 

[Back Burner]

WTF?

For someone who deosn't know what 'ska' is, you shouldn't be bringing up history.

 

[Ophelia Black]

"I thought R. Kelly was in jail for child molestation charges or pornography??"

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Roger Daltrey, Gary Glitter, or Michael Jackson?

he was arrested for child porn and now he has a top 10 single... society is sad sometimes....

 

[The Fruity Hare]

I don't think you got Ophelia's point, Lumix.

 

[WhOiSyOdAdDy?]

how many sporting events has Gary Glitter's song been played at after the public heard what he did??

Maybe this will refresh your short memory Lumix

[Lumix]

I think that all these artists who have comitted such crimes should be shunned by society and not be allowed to benefit financially from their work since it is out there in the public exposed to kids.

 

[Ophelia Black]

Nope, you didn't, Lumix.

I thought it was kind of simple, actually - even some of your classic old school talent is/was accused of the same kind of nastiness as Mr. Kelly.

Huh?

I wasn't making a point about old school and new school. Just that is sad for anyone to be popular in the music biz with a disgusting criminal background.

Relax already.
