Rap & Hip Hop: Did you know that...?

"A 2001 and 2004 study by Edward Armstrong found that of the 14 songs on The Marshall Mathers LP eleven contain violent and misogynistic lyrics"?

In the study fifty professionally trained gerbils, hamsters, other adorable rodents, and a single kitten were put in seperate cages and made to listen to each track on the MMLP once every day over a preiod of two months, counting each time each animal did not consume a piece of cheese as it being too disturbed by the misogyny of the lyrics to nourish itself.

Or maybe this person, Edward Armstrong, listened to the album once and discovered that eleven songs were "violent and misogynistic", and there's for claiming a "study" was performed which "found" anything...

BQ1: Favorite instrumental hip hop album?

BQ2: Pit Bull or Flo Rida?

BQ3: Would you rather eat out an unshaven or unwashed box

BQ4: Sexiest accent and language

A few instrumental album recommendations (+ a couple producer albums with instrumental) for those who are not well acquainted:

Soon it Will Not be Cold Enough - Emancipator

Modal Soul - Nujabes

Cosmogramma - Flying Lotus

Beat Journey - Dr Who Dat? (aka Jneiro Jarel)

Greenball - Jel

The Music Scene - Blockhead

Deadringer - RJD2

Endtroducing..... - DJ Shadow

Here's an old question I asked with more in the answers if you want more or just know all these

And that's all for now folks

Update:

To clarify the quote is from the controversy section of the wikipedia article on MMLP

  • eminem duznt h8 wimin evry1 nos he just x-preses himself cuz his mom was bad 2 him az a kid itz not his falt his ma wuz a drug adikt.

    I actually wrote an essay a year and a half ago on the cultural significance of the MMLP. I feel obligated to say that whenever someone brings up MMLP.

    BQ1: Instrumentals by Clams Casino

    BQ2: Flo Rida

    BQ3: Unwashed... if I were actually in a sexual relationship with a woman, I think I'd be nasty af. I would drink her piss when I ate her out then open mouth kiss her with my mouth still full of her urine. This is all hypothetical; of course we would have to be married in a house of God first.

    BQ4: For accent, that sorta high-class American accent (it has a slight British/English edge to it) that a lot of college girls seem to pick up. English is still the most beautiful language to me. I know, I know: I am so very original.

    Never knew that but I don't find that surprising what so ever. Eminem might be one of the most vulgar rappers out there to be honest. Him and many politic underground rappers (R.A. The Rugged Man, AOTP, Jedi Mind Tricks, etc.) are also just as vulgar as Em so I won't single him out like I usually do. But when you have songs about killing your Mom/Wife, and all that jazz, it's kind of obvious that you would be considered to have violent and misogynistic lyrics lol. But the thing about the animals listening to Eminem made me laugh out loud. Thank you so much for sharing this xD.

    BQ1: Donuts by J Dilla probably

    BQ2: Mr. Worldwide because my friends and I always make fun of him

    BQ3: Unshaven no question. It wouldn't taste nearly as bad as an unwashed pu$$y hahaha!

    BQ4:

    Accent: Spanish

    Language: English because I know it.

    But the combination of both...........**** LMAO

    LMAO to the thing of the hamsters... Anyway, couldn't he just listen to him? I know his lyrics are violent even though I don't understand what he says not being English/American/Australian/New Zealander/from any other ******* place where English is the official language.

    NB: Eminem is my 2nd favorite rapper, I don't hate him just because of his lyrics, I don't care to be honest.

    BQ1: Modal Soul by Nujabes if you consider it instrumental. If not, Donuts by J Dilla.

    BQ2: Neither but I'd rather listen to Flo Rida...

    BQ3: Unwashed by far... Unshaven is DISGUSTING!

    BQ4: Spanish

  • 6 years ago

    I did not know that.

    BQ: These days, probably Endtroducing by DJ Shadow.

    BQ2: Death. Nah, but seriously, at least Pitbull has the song "Culo."

    BQ3: Interesting question. I choose unshaven.

    BQ4: French for accent. Spanish for language.

    Thanks. Haven't listened to most of these.
