Dude, I'm not even American and even I know of some of Beck' and Limbaugh's racist antics. I mean, did you just ignore Limbaughs "Ching Chong" comment? Or the constant comparison he makes between black people and crime ("Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons.") What about Beck's openly islamophobic rants, in which he told a Muslim congressman that "I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.'". I think you'd have to be willingly obtuse and ignorant as to what racism is to not think that Beck and Limbaugh have racist tendencies. |

It's an anthem single which means that the song is meant to inspire. Specifically, it is meant to reach out to "the ghetto boys and girls" Lupe's "rappin 'round the world for". If the theme of the album is meant project some positivity (Shining Down) into hip-hop, than The Show Goes On is trying to show kids that not only the World, but hip hop doesn't have to "only destroy". Lupe is trying to be a positive (beaming) role model for kids surrounded by negativity and violence. And I've heard some flack about Lupe "selling out" with this single. But, I think the lyrics were purposefully dumbed down to reach a younger audience. For instance: "Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had Don't that sh-t make you mad" It seems like he's talking directly to a 11/12 year old. Well, that's my thoughts anyway. |
