Gangster Rap Video on RonPaul2008.com TOTALLY Inappropriate for Presidential Campaign

I thought this thread would die! I'm a die hard Hip-Hop fan and think this song is by far not the best song out... Ron Paul for the Long Haul was waaaaaaaaay better but the creater decided to flip-flop his support...

Could you guys please leave the old guy alone? He has a right not to like the music and he has a right to call the campaign and tell them he thinks it's inappropriate. If you don't agree, then say so nicely. Firing back at him, even if he's saying things you don't agree with, is childish and a total waste of time.

All of this energy could have gone into figuring out creative new ways to promote Ron Paul or going door-to-door, or writing letters to people in Iowa and NH. Please stop getting so offended by cranky old folks. They need your compassion, not your anger.

I do enjoy the different opinions on this forum. At least most of you people make the attempt think for yourselves ...


and that is all I have to say about that.
 
as much as i like the video i felt a little uneasy seeing it on the campaign webpage.
 
I'm 42 and rather liked it myself. I'm not a fan of most rap either but I find it rather comforting to see so many diverse individuals grasp the meaning of RP's message. We are more alike than not when it gets right down to it. I would hope that is what people get out of this video more than anything.

I think the arguement whether this song is suitable or not is ridiculous and Ron Paul would be ashamed that anyone would try to criticise it.

Free speech means saying what you like and making whatever type of music u like as long as you aren't harming other people.

So can we close this silly thread now please. there are much more pressing issues to deal with
 
I am a middle aged American (as much as I hate to admit it, trying to grow gracefully). So here is my opinion:

My first impression was "just another punk smearing Ron", but then I soon realized it was actually FOR Ron. I couldn't understand some of the lyrics (speak slower sonny boy, eh?), but for the most part it didn't seem offensive at all.

And I detest rap music. I tried listening to some of it, maybe 1% of rap has some talent and originality, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

If the younger crowd likes it, and is persuaded to learn more about Ron Paul, good.

i've been trying to figure out just when it was that 'crunk' went from slang
to a type of music.... can someone fill me in on which artists' music is labeled
as 'crunk' and explain to me if it's an actual label that people use to describe
music (i don't hear it called that, but then again, i live in the 'dirty south' ... yt
to be exact... we're sometimes a little behind), or if that is just one of those 'old people'
misinterpretations of youthful vernacular?

::aging faster than i care to admit::
 
Sorry I don't have time to read 20 pages of this so forgive me if it has been mentioned but

it's not gangster rap. The original isn't even gangster rap. Give me a break
