Jason Aldean song and video pulled

This was cancelled before this song with these lyrics by DMX:

"X-Is Coming"

"If you got a daughter older than 15, I’mma rape her/Take her on the living room floor, right there in front of you/Then ask you seriously, what you wanna do?"

This kind of shit is why Aldean shouldn't apologize. In fact, he should take it a step further and give the haters the finger.

When you act all concerned about violent messaging in songs, I'm sorry but:
1. I don't believe you
2. Where in the Hell have you been for the last 30 years?

You're saying a maybe possibly veiled reference to lynching that requires this sort of logic to really make sense:



You're saying that song which requires conspiracy theory thinking to be offensive is more offensive than a guy explicitly saying he's going to rape a 16-year-old girl right in front of her father.

 

does the CMT have the power to cancel DMX? If no, your post is nonsense. Oh, how often is this DMX song played on CMT, anyway?

 

This DMX song didn't have a music video and it was never played on MTV or BET. I'm guessing you can't actually find a rap song about rape played on MTV or BET like you claimed?

 

"The Story of OJ" by Jay-Z

"You wanna know what's more important than throwin' away money at a strip club? Credit... You ever wonder why Jewish people own all the property in America? This how they did it"

 

DMX was more likely to be played on MTV, at least back in the day when MTV played music videos, it was. Problem with your question is CMT is owned by MTV, so if MTV was okay with playing DMX, why aren't they okay with playing Aldean?

 

Cool, another rap song that was never played on MTV or BET.

 

As he should. Because it's not about race, and screw the people clutching their pearls over this because frankly, they're not really offended. It's just a power trip.

 

This is CMT selling records for Jason Aldean.

Lol, tearful groveling apology forthcoming.

 

In 1927???

Pretty sure that courthouse building has a tad more meaning than a single incident that occurred there a little shy of a century ago...

 

Squint your eyes hard enough, and look long enough, and I'm sure you can find your racist boogeyman in any ol puff of clouds...or smoke.

 

That DMX song wasn’t mainstream, and I don’t believe it had a video. I’ll tell you this, though… even in circles of people who listen to rap, that line is pretty famous for having gone too far. Bottom line, there was no need to cancel it, because it wasn’t “out there” like that. I’m sure there are plenty of songs over the years that are buried on all genres of albums that have cancel-worthy lyrics. Even our Star Spangled banner has some questionable lyrics in a verse that we don’t normally sing.

 

Jewish people are actually praised in hip-hop for their financial acumen and intelligence. It’s stereotypical, but generally positive. You’ll hear boasts about having a Jewish lawyer or something like that as a status symbol or indication of success. Not saying it’s right, but Jewish people are generally positively referenced in rap music.

 

You keep saying stuff like this, but to be "cancelled" it would have to be played in the first place. This DMX song doesn't even have a music video and doesn't appear to have been ranked on any charts ... try again.

 

I accept your apology.

 

What’s funny in all this that 715 appears to be absolutely clueless about how much censorship MTV engaged in back when they played music videos. Hell, Tom Petty might have been one of their most concerned artists… even had his Alice in Wonderland themed censored after an idiot parent group claimed it promoted canibalism. This song with “let’s roll another joint” was edited to replace “joint” with a nonsense word. He was up there, anyway. Along with Madonna. Shit that seems bland by todays standards. Anyone with a pot leaf image on their clothes had it blurred out. MTV was definitely not the place for anything controversial…

 

It didn't have a video and it wasn't released as a single, it was an album cut. Pretty gruesome content, but it was him playing into his "Dark Man X" persona and rapping from the viewpoint of the devil and engaging in horrorcore, which was a subgenre of rap in the 90s. Notice how that poster still can't tell us what song about rape was played on MTV and BET. I guess he thought he could just throw out a random lie about rap and no one would check him on it LOL.

 

BOTH are wrong.
