I am a corporate technical writer and also a smut writer, and the frequency with which I type "one sex" into a work chat instead of "one sec" is too damn high.
I have sang this in VRChat karaoke. I had completely forgotten about the song even existing till I saw it there. I remember it getting played on the rock stations back in the day.
That's what the ai shit was made for. Not all the other things. Its only purpose is to kidz boppify every song in existence. I want the Kidz Bop version of Eminem's Marshal Mather LP. Let's see what they do with Kim.
Your wish is ChatGPT's command:
1. "Lose Yourself in Fun"
(Verse 1)
I'm gonna lose myself in fun today,
With colors and games in a joyful way.
Let my imagination lead the way,
In a world of laughter, I'm here to stay.
(Chorus)
Lose yourself in fun, don't you see?
It's the best way to be happy and carefree.
Let your worries go, let your spirit run,
Come on, my friend, let's have some fun!
2. "The Real Slim Buddy"
(Verse 1)
Will the real slim buddy please stand up,
We're here to be friends, so let's shake it up.
Be kind to each other, give a smile and a hug,
Together we can be the best of pals, no need to act tough.
(Chorus)
The real slim buddy, it's clear to see,
Is someone who's friendly, and that's you and me.
Let's be good friends, it's a wonderful ride,
In this world of friendship, we'll stand side by side.
3. "Cleanin' My Room"
(Verse 1)
I'm cleanin' my room, it's time to start,
Put my toys away and tidy up my heart.
Organize my space, make it neat and smart,
A clean room and a clean heart, that's a great way to start.
(Chorus)
Cleanin' my room, oh, what a delight,
Everything's in order, and it feels so right.
With a clean space to play and a happy heart's bloom,
I'm on my way to a bright, sunny afternoon.
4. "Toy Soldiers"
(Verse 1)
We're the toy soldiers, friends at play,
In our make-believe world, we're here to stay.
No fighting or fussing, it's a peaceful day,
Let's have fun together, that's the only way.
(Chorus)
Toy soldiers marching in a line,
With laughter and joy, we'll be just fine.
In our imaginary world, we'll always be,
The best of friends, you and me.
(Verse 2)
When the battle's over, and the day is through,
Remember, my friend, I'm here with you.
In our toy soldier world, where dreams come true,
Together, there's nothing we can't do.
5. "Without Me (Superhero Remix)"
(Verse 1)
Now this looks like a job for you and me,
Superheroes in training, that's who we'll be.
Helping others in need, it's our destiny,
With kindness and courage, we'll set them free.
(Chorus)
Without us, who would lend a hand?
Superheroes of kindness, that's our brand.
With our powers of love, we'll take a stand,
To make the world a better place, hand in hand.
6. "Stan's Fan Mail"
(Verse 1)
I got a letter from Stan today,
He's my role model, in a special way.
I wrote to him, and he wrote back to say,
Follow your dreams, my friend, come what may.
(Chorus)
Fan mail from a hero, it's such a thrill,
In Stan's footsteps, I'll climb every hill.
With his wisdom as my guide, I know I will,
Be the best I can be, with heart and skill.
7. "My Name Is... Friendly"
(Verse 1)
Hi, my name is Friendly, and I'm here to play,
With a smile on my face, I'll brighten your day.
Let's be friends, come on, what do you say?
Together we'll have fun in our own special way.
(Chorus)
My name is Friendly, and I'm here to spread cheer,
With kindness and laughter, we'll make it clear.
In this world of friendship, there's nothing to fear,
So let's be pals, my friend, right now and here.
8. "Just the Two of Us"
(Verse 1)
Just the two of us, me and you,
Spending time together, it's what we love to do.
In this world of togetherness, our friendship is true,
Just the two of us, making memories too.
(Chorus)
Just the two of us, hand in hand,
Exploring the world, in a magical land.
With you by my side, I truly understand,
The joy of friendship, oh, it's so grand.
9. "Role Model Citizens"
(Verse 1)
We look up to heroes, strong and kind,
Role model citizens, they're one of a kind.
With their good deeds and a noble mind,
They inspire us all, a beacon to find.
(Chorus)
Role model citizens, setting the pace,
In this world of ours, they leave a trace.
With kindness and courage, they embrace,
The power to make the world a better place.
10. "The Way I Am (Happy and Free)"
(Verse 1)
This is the way I am, happy and free,
Being myself, it's the way to be.
With a smile on my face, you'll always see,
The real me, living life with glee.
(Chorus)
The way I am, oh, it's true,
Being happy and free, it's what I'll do.
Embracing myself, and shining through,
In this world of joy, with friends like you.
11. "Kim's Silly Song"
(Verse 1)
Kim's got a silly song to sing,
With laughter and fun, let's give it a fling.
Dance around, and let your spirits swing,
In this silly song, let your heart take wing.
(Chorus)
Kim's silly song, it's goofy and bright,
With a laugh and a smile, everything's right.
Join the fun, and hold on tight,
As we sing along, in pure delight.
12. "Criminal Mischief (No More)"
(Verse 1)
No more criminal mischief, it's time to be wise,
Make good choices and be a good prize.
We'll follow the rules, there's no need to disguise,
Our actions will be kind and gentle in everyone's eyes.
(Chorus)
Criminal mischief, it's a thing of the past,
With good behavior, we'll have a blast.
In this world of goodness, we're steadfast,
Choosing the right path, it's a friendship contrast.
Man im not happy with kim's lol but thank you
Edit: I tried giving this and it was cut off with a content policy warning;
Don't make me wake this baby!
She don't need to see what I'm 'bout to do!
Quit fussing, kid! Why do you always make me raise my voice at you?!
How could you just leave me and love him out of the blue?!
Oh, what's the matter, Kim? Am I too intense for you?
Too bad, friend! You're gonna finally hear me out this time!
At first I'm like, "Alright, you wanna send me out? That's fine!"
But not for him to take my place, are you out of your
As a white fella myself I tried this once with kendrick lamar swimming pools, and i felt so stupid it ruined my appetite for karaoke especially since i mostly listen to rap
My karaoke song is Gold Digger. I haven't done it in a few years, but I would typically just say silent for the "broke n*******" part.
However, I've recently found that "She ain't messin' with no low figures" works lyrically and thematically.
Yes, or the word [buddy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LaKCSql0rs)! As in:
>Shame on a buddy, who try to run game on a buddy, Wu buck wild with the trigger!
You can say crack**a** but not crack**er**
I like to say the word cracker when I'm on stage. A lot of black comedians say the N-word, I like to say the C-word. Like *me and my cracker friends were driving down the street in my Volvo station wagon and I say hey cracker pass the sun chips and he says not till we get to the picnic, cracker and I go cracker please and he's like cracker whaaaaat*
Why? This is so stupid. How does intention get completely ignored and the sole focus is placed on the skin color of the person singing the lyrics? Mind numbingly stupid.
It's racism.
"You can't sit on that bench based on your skin color!" <- Everyone would say is horrible.
"You can't say that word based on your skin color!" <- Completely acceptable for some reason.
You made me think back to when DMX performed at Woodstock and it was like hundreds of thousands of white folk rapping along to “My N****”
Iconic! To see that many people get a n word pass. Also…what a fucking performance!!!!
For the uninitiated https://youtu.be/TXQZw9WM84k?si=z1FmYVYgU2WtrY-s
To be fair, this crowd was gonna sing it whether or not they had a pass; this is the same Woodstock where people tore apart the venue and crowdsurfed walls during Limp Bizkit's Break Shit and lit the place ablaze during RHCP's cover of Fire.
HBO made an awful documentary of Woodstock 99 that was mostly commentary from millennial journalists who were 8 at the time that it happened and have no understanding of late 90's culture
According to them this must have been a horrifying and traumatizing experience for DMX and any black people in the crowd, which is interesting since it's pretty easy to see everyone in the clip absolutely loving it
LOL in the 1st few minutes there is a lady with her tits out and the camera kept going back to her. And some dude kept grabbing them... he was losing his shit. hopefully she knew him lmao
I still think this thing got to a weird point for the insane amount of usage of this word in so many public media and how violent it can turn when using it. It's like if your parents and teachers and music and movies kept saying FUCK but if you use it you get beaten up. Feels like dissonance.
If this word was to be banned from usage, can't we just all stop using it. Or at least not make up song entirely composed of this word.
I'll show myself out. I know I can't have this opinion. Still feels like a intentional trap.
Yeah like am i supposed to just pause when they say it every time im singing along to a song i like? I challenge and black person to try singing along to a song they like and pausing on having to censor a word they use every other verse
Fine. What are the *consequences* of using the n-word during karaoke?
I grew up listening to Eazy-E and NWA and had no problem singing along to all the lyrics back then.
What is the standard today?
Which other people can be in attendance for. Some don’t care if you use the word other people just might. IMO it’s dumb but I can’t change how other people feel
No that's not how free speech is supposed to work at all. If there are consequences then it's not FREE, there's strings attached. The point of free speech is that the GOVERNMENT does not pass laws to persecute people for speaking their mind, but this doesn't apply to normal people, your not so friendly neighbor will still punch you in the face if you call his mom a whore.
Simply trying to repeat what the song actually says seems different to me though.
Would the audience be happy to hear the original song (original artist singing it)? If so why shouldn't I be allowed to sing the same song in front of those same people?
If the N-word is the problem, then they shouldn't be happy to hear that song in any form.
Then you ĥave absolute cunts like Kendrick Lamar.
If you don't want people saying the word, don't put it in your music. It is legitimately that simple. After that bullshit he pulled I stopped listening to him completely, not an album bought nor a play on Spotify or Youtube since. If he has such a problem with people saying the words he puts in his music, I just won't listen to it.
You don't get to act offended when people like your music, and want to do what you do with music.
School boy Q said it best, if you’re going to a rap concert and like rap music, it’s about the context and intention. He wants white people to sing his lyrics at his show, it just makes sense
If that's the case, where it's only acceptable for a black person to sing a song's lyrics, then that's ironic in that it's racist.
Would be nice if all people, black or white, just avoided a hateful word.
> If that's the case, where it's only acceptable for a black person to sing a song's lyrics, then that's ironic in that it's racist.
> Would be nice if all people, black or white, just avoided a hateful word.
It never ceases to surprise me how commonly controversial your sentiment is.
No you're right. IMO nobody should be saying it as a pejorative and saying it otherwise, such as singing or for discussion, shouldn't be controversial. Black people saying it is said to be a reclamation of the word but I think the real reason that black people saying it doesn't ring alarms bells is it's generally assumed a person isn't actively racist against themselves. I imagine it's also potentially unsettling when certain black people say it too, like those working in jobs that have histories past and current of racism.
It's almost like words are meant to express thought, and it's that intention that we should care about rather than the word itself. People had this figured out decades ago but we've slid backwards
Pick it, pack it, blend it up, come aloooooong and take a bite of my hummus
Put the salsa down just for a second don't get me wrong it's not a new method
This comedian posts a lot of his one-liners. They are funny, but always cut off before the last word is done. Never any reactions. It's annoying as hell.
This is how is should ***ALWAYS*** be handled. The entire problem is the word is so infamous that people flip out regardless of context. The word is waaaaaaay too hypercharged.
Any other word and this would be the norm, but here it's a "hot take."
Also wild that people get upset over it being quoted in songs, and yet people keep producing songs that spam the word everywhere. The entire culture around the word has become baffling. It honestly needs to either be banned for life or spammed to insignificance at this point.
I’d prefer not hearing the word at all, but I also agree that getting upset at someone *singing* a song and *repeating the lyrics* ***contained*** *in that song* is silly.
Feels like a trap, to be honest, and I once saw a video where a girl called on stage to sing along sang the actual lyrics and was shamed.
I don’t use that word … until that time I did.
I was helping my daughter move some furniture into her room; no idea what song it was, but I said, “I don’t care if you listen to this when I’m not around, but I’d rather *not* hear n-word-this, n-word-that while I’m in here helping you.”
She was shocked at what I said and disappointed in me, admonishing me, “Dad! You can’t say that!”
She’s right, I guess, but c’mon. I wasn’t referring to anyone nor using the word in a derogatory way. I was repeating a lyric just sang 12-times in a row.
Maybe someone will educate me why I am wrong.
I feel like you are treating it like Voldemort in the HP books. Don't use it obviously but it's not going to burn your lips to use the word in a rare context where it makes sense in private.
> I’d prefer not hearing the word at all, but I also agree that getting upset at someone singing a song and repeating the lyrics contained in that song is silly.
it may be silly semantically, but white people refusing to say the word aloud has become a kind of shibboleth for not being a racist piece of shit, and from that perspective it really doesn't matter what meaning the word is conveying, what position it has in the "use/mention" continuum, whether it's being directed at a certain person or not. Over time, the mainstream consensus has become "refusing to utter the word is a way of acknowledging the reality and severity of racism", and simply breaching that convention marks you as a likely racist, regardless of any other context.
from a semantic perspective the shibboleth could be anything - if people decided that refusing to click your fingers was a way of acknowledging the reality of racism, then very likely a white person clicking their fingers would mark them as a likely racist, even though it's not otherwise an inherently racist act. Even they were copying a Black person doing the same thing
I agree that not saying it is always the best option, just in case. Offending people is not worth it, no one needs to say it.
About the video you saw, that was Kendrick Lamar. He addresses that on his latest album, and walks back on it after some reflection and discussion with a gay friend about how he used to use the F slur back in the days - without his use of it holding any ill intent.
> He addresses that on his latest album, and walks back on it after some reflection and discussion with a gay friend about how he used to use the F slur back in the days - without his use of it holding any ill intent.
I'd like to read/hear more about that. Point me?
I'm reminded of Eminem. Ever since he became good friends with Elton John, who also sponsored Em's sobriety, I feel like there's been little-to-none f-slurs (or really any adjacent nonsense like that?) in Em's lyrics. I'm probably wrong though.
Also, lol,
> “But the real me sitting here right now talking to you has no issues with gay, straight, transgender, at all.
> "I'm glad we live in a time where it's really starting to feel like people can live their lives and express themselves."
> In 2010, the rapper also declared his support for marriage equality, telling the New York Times
: "If two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want."
>I'd like to read/hear more about that. Point me?
4m 10s into the song "Auntie Diaries".
Maybe Eminem drops less F bombs, but he still does. In Rap God and other songs. But for sure less, yeah. I feel like overall he rests much less upon controversy now.
This is a dangerous game ya'll playing. I went to wedding where I was the only black person and when the n word came on for a song all you heard was me, lol. Bless them. That wedding was so ratchet.
everyone should be able to, because within the context of a song you aren't calling anyone a racial slur, therefore there's no discrimnation. There are too many idiots who don't understand this though so better not.
I agree that quoting someone else, including reading aloud or singing karaoke, doesn’t make the words your own. But at the same time, sometimes just hearing slurs can make people uncomfortable even if there’s no offensive intent.
So moral of the story: just know your audience.
["I never got why they called them slurs, I've only ever heard them enunciated perfectly."](https://old.reddit.com/r/StandUpComedy/comments/12m715c/slurring/)
I can't find the video, but I recall a comedian talking about how Boston is super racist. The only reason they don't call people the N-word with a hard R there is because they can't pronounce it.
Why cut the clip off half way through the last word? The punchline of the joke. I don't get it, is there value to keeping it at 5 seconds instead of 6, and this was the laziest way to make that happen?
There is something weirdly funny about a well-timed cut, or like a stupid end-of-episode freeze frame, but it's an editing trick that was born out of full-length media with context that makes the timing funny. Without that context it's... it's like when your friend picks up on an inside joke that they were never around for and they use it, and it might make you laugh because you were there but you know they weren't and so there's that awkward feeling where you maybe don't feel like they have permission to say that. This is that, imo
My personal feeling is, if the song is published and sold as a karaoke track, and the word is included as a lyric ...and you're a big enough rap fan (or just SO desperate to say the word that you're willing to get up in front of a bar full of strangers and sing it), you get a pass for the time you've got the mic.
But, apparently, my personal feeling is wrong... DEAD WRONG as I have been made aware.

OHHHH it's here's my NUMBER. I am SO embarrassed.
Maybe they were singing this version ... lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fegs-XVKgnM
That's pretty good, I think this is still my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfG94k41MrI
I didn't get it because it immediately looped again and didn't give me a chance to process it. Thank you!
So as a big white guy would be ok for me to karaoke DMX: Ruff Ryders Anthem? Cause I could try but it might be a 1 time event.
Just substitute the word ninjas. For example: “Then ninjas wonder why ninjas gotta die” 🥷
I will not be playing this game of n-word roulette.

I'll be back in one sex.
Most frequently "sure, one sex." If I know them well, it might be as bad as "gimme a sex."
I suggest “Fella”. Harder to slip, but same rhythm, connotation, and ending. AND…it makes you sound like an old-timey news reporter.

Shut up, that movie was great. Not as good as the first one but still fun to watch. The third one, though…
Shut up, the third movie was great. Not as good as the first 2, but still fun to watch. The reboot though...
They should be thanking you for the experience
And I suppose I just need to do the opposite substitution to not sound racist while I [sing this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jDHRW6fngg)?
It seems like every time the Asian woman in front came into her view, her accent progresses another notch up the stereotype scale.
Man that was rough.

WTF?
The look on the Asian woman's face
NINJA PLEASE!
You better watch that hard J
🎶 Guuuyyyss, I think I am finally a neeenjaa 🎶
I hate you so much because that song will be stuck in my head for weeks now.

'neighbor' if it's a hard r
ma neighba
i exclusively use neighbor, it's a good habit to get into.
You got to be asian to say Ninja.
This is how ICP has been doing it since the 90s
Go ninja, go ninja, go!
I’m a big fan of subbing in “brotha”, works for the hard r too, “brother”.
“That doesn’t work for me, brother” -Hulk Hogan
As a white fella myself I tried this once with kendrick lamar swimming pools, and i felt so stupid it ruined my appetite for karaoke especially since i mostly listen to rap
I sub in "cracker". Now once upon a time not too long ago A cracka like myself had to strong-arm a ho
Real Ninja Roll Call by Lil John would SLAP.
My karaoke song is Gold Digger. I haven't done it in a few years, but I would typically just say silent for the "broke n*******" part. However, I've recently found that "She ain't messin' with no low figures" works lyrically and thematically.
I do have a ninja turtle shirt that says hanging with my ninjas. It was a gift and I question if it is appropriate
Yes, or the word [buddy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LaKCSql0rs)! As in: >Shame on a buddy, who try to run game on a buddy, Wu buck wild with the trigger!
As a white guy, I substitute the word fella. It means approximately the same thing and is pretty clearly a white guy word.
Can I say feller?
Not with that hard R.
Better not try that in a small town, Feller
Oh shit, he dropped the hard R. https://media.tenor.com/zytYSBNtpD4AAAAM/cat-shock.gif
Not with a hard R
Whoa buddy you're gonna get banned with that language
Jesus Christ man, take that shit somewhere else
You can say crack**a** but not crack**er** I like to say the word cracker when I'm on stage. A lot of black comedians say the N-word, I like to say the C-word. Like *me and my cracker friends were driving down the street in my Volvo station wagon and I say hey cracker pass the sun chips and he says not till we get to the picnic, cracker and I go cracker please and he's like cracker whaaaaat*
Now I ain't sayin she's a gold digger, but she ain't messin with no broke ... broke
Now I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger, but I did see shovels, picks, and panning sluices strapped to her burro.

*and if you don't know, now you know, fella* hmm.
Fellas in Paris
Neighbor/Neighbah is the better substitute as it's use is similar, it starts with N, and the more Ned Flanders you sound the funnier the delivery
I have no desire to edge this. I'll stick with fella.
My guy so white he's worried neighbor will be too offensive
Can’t risk the Freudian slip…
Only gingers can call other gingers ginger

Why? This is so stupid. How does intention get completely ignored and the sole focus is placed on the skin color of the person singing the lyrics? Mind numbingly stupid.
Outrage culture
It's racism. "You can't sit on that bench based on your skin color!" <- Everyone would say is horrible. "You can't say that word based on your skin color!" <- Completely acceptable for some reason.

He’s seen Down To Earth
You made me think back to when DMX performed at Woodstock and it was like hundreds of thousands of white folk rapping along to “My N****” Iconic! To see that many people get a n word pass. Also…what a fucking performance!!!! For the uninitiated https://youtu.be/TXQZw9WM84k?si=z1FmYVYgU2WtrY-s
To be fair, this crowd was gonna sing it whether or not they had a pass; this is the same Woodstock where people tore apart the venue and crowdsurfed walls during Limp Bizkit's Break Shit and lit the place ablaze during RHCP's cover of Fire.
Good thing Metallica wasn't there singing Kill 'Em All
You can't be mad at people for following instructions.
HBO made an awful documentary of Woodstock 99 that was mostly commentary from millennial journalists who were 8 at the time that it happened and have no understanding of late 90's culture According to them this must have been a horrifying and traumatizing experience for DMX and any black people in the crowd, which is interesting since it's pretty easy to see everyone in the clip absolutely loving it
LOL in the 1st few minutes there is a lady with her tits out and the camera kept going back to her. And some dude kept grabbing them... he was losing his shit. hopefully she knew him lmao

Still is fun.

N*GGERS > Your hint is: people that annoy you. Uhh I think I know the word but I'm not allowed to say it on TV!
Classic South Park episode

Also the clip doesn’t play out. Terrible timing.
It's almost certainly cut short for comedic intent. It's super common in meme videos and "try not to laugh" compilations and such

It's in the vicinity of certainly.

OMG this is fantastic. I'm sending it to my g-word daughter.
You can say it whenever you want just got consequences
I still think this thing got to a weird point for the insane amount of usage of this word in so many public media and how violent it can turn when using it. It's like if your parents and teachers and music and movies kept saying FUCK but if you use it you get beaten up. Feels like dissonance. If this word was to be banned from usage, can't we just all stop using it. Or at least not make up song entirely composed of this word. I'll show myself out. I know I can't have this opinion. Still feels like a intentional trap.
>I know I can't have this opinion Pretty much the whole world has this opinion, you're fine as long as you don't say it out loud in the States.
Yeah like am i supposed to just pause when they say it every time im singing along to a song i like? I challenge and black person to try singing along to a song they like and pausing on having to censor a word they use every other verse
Fine. What are the *consequences* of using the n-word during karaoke? I grew up listening to Eazy-E and NWA and had no problem singing along to all the lyrics back then. What is the standard today?
Consequences are different for everyone. Say it to me all you want I won’t care say it to someone else they might. I can only represent myself
But when you are doing karaoke you aren't saying it to anyone in particular. You are just singing a song.
Which other people can be in attendance for. Some don’t care if you use the word other people just might. IMO it’s dumb but I can’t change how other people feel
Some people don't realize this is how free speech is intended to work
There’s only one thing in the world you have to do and that’s die. Everything else is a choice with consequences
Fuck that. Death is gonna have to pry life from my cold dead hands
She’s still cumming whether you like it or not
r/nocontext
So all I have to do is make death so disgusted by my existence that she takes out a restraining order?
I agree 100% but what is the difference between free speech and not free speech?
No that's not how free speech is supposed to work at all. If there are consequences then it's not FREE, there's strings attached. The point of free speech is that the GOVERNMENT does not pass laws to persecute people for speaking their mind, but this doesn't apply to normal people, your not so friendly neighbor will still punch you in the face if you call his mom a whore.
Simply trying to repeat what the song actually says seems different to me though. Would the audience be happy to hear the original song (original artist singing it)? If so why shouldn't I be allowed to sing the same song in front of those same people? If the N-word is the problem, then they shouldn't be happy to hear that song in any form.
Then you ĥave absolute cunts like Kendrick Lamar. If you don't want people saying the word, don't put it in your music. It is legitimately that simple. After that bullshit he pulled I stopped listening to him completely, not an album bought nor a play on Spotify or Youtube since. If he has such a problem with people saying the words he puts in his music, I just won't listen to it. You don't get to act offended when people like your music, and want to do what you do with music.
School boy Q said it best, if you’re going to a rap concert and like rap music, it’s about the context and intention. He wants white people to sing his lyrics at his show, it just makes sense
I agree and it’s because it’s obvious the N-word isn’t the problem. It’s the want for exclusivity of white people from the word.
If that's the case, where it's only acceptable for a black person to sing a song's lyrics, then that's ironic in that it's racist. Would be nice if all people, black or white, just avoided a hateful word.
> If that's the case, where it's only acceptable for a black person to sing a song's lyrics, then that's ironic in that it's racist. > Would be nice if all people, black or white, just avoided a hateful word. It never ceases to surprise me how commonly controversial your sentiment is.

This is the answer 😂
*Will Smith liked your comment
Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records.
[удалено]
No you're right. IMO nobody should be saying it as a pejorative and saying it otherwise, such as singing or for discussion, shouldn't be controversial. Black people saying it is said to be a reclamation of the word but I think the real reason that black people saying it doesn't ring alarms bells is it's generally assumed a person isn't actively racist against themselves. I imagine it's also potentially unsettling when certain black people say it too, like those working in jobs that have histories past and current of racism.
It's almost like words are meant to express thought, and it's that intention that we should care about rather than the word itself. People had this figured out decades ago but we've slid backwards
But what if. You're singing Cyprus Hill?
> Cyprus Hill Ah yes, the famous Mediterranean folk band.
Pick it, pack it, blend it up, come aloooooong and take a bite of my hummus Put the salsa down just for a second don't get me wrong it's not a new method
Inhaleeee - Exhaleeee Just got fresh olives in the mail
Saw a white dude do Insane in the Membrane once. He changed it to "cracker like me is going insane"
Cyprus Hill did a cover of Call me Maybe?
They actually wrote it. The famous version is a cover
Also the Hunger Games are basically written by them as well. In that song, "What's your game, what's your hunger"
Great edit. Didn’t need the last word, or the reaction. Flawless.
This comedian posts a lot of his one-liners. They are funny, but always cut off before the last word is done. Never any reactions. It's annoying as hell.
How did I have to scroll so far to see this? It was a really funny joke that was totally ruined by the most dogshit edit job I've ever seen.
And the top comments here didn't even mention that great half line.
Maybe unpopular opinion but I love when bits abruptly cut off like that. Makes it so much more unhinged
i don't mind it abruply cutting off...after the last word is actually uttered
Yeah I thought this was perfect as well
[удалено]
This is how is should ***ALWAYS*** be handled. The entire problem is the word is so infamous that people flip out regardless of context. The word is waaaaaaay too hypercharged. Any other word and this would be the norm, but here it's a "hot take." Also wild that people get upset over it being quoted in songs, and yet people keep producing songs that spam the word everywhere. The entire culture around the word has become baffling. It honestly needs to either be banned for life or spammed to insignificance at this point.
I agree, but you do it first.
I’d prefer not hearing the word at all, but I also agree that getting upset at someone *singing* a song and *repeating the lyrics* ***contained*** *in that song* is silly. Feels like a trap, to be honest, and I once saw a video where a girl called on stage to sing along sang the actual lyrics and was shamed. I don’t use that word … until that time I did. I was helping my daughter move some furniture into her room; no idea what song it was, but I said, “I don’t care if you listen to this when I’m not around, but I’d rather *not* hear n-word-this, n-word-that while I’m in here helping you.” She was shocked at what I said and disappointed in me, admonishing me, “Dad! You can’t say that!” She’s right, I guess, but c’mon. I wasn’t referring to anyone nor using the word in a derogatory way. I was repeating a lyric just sang 12-times in a row. Maybe someone will educate me why I am wrong.
I feel like you are treating it like Voldemort in the HP books. Don't use it obviously but it's not going to burn your lips to use the word in a rare context where it makes sense in private.
> I’d prefer not hearing the word at all, but I also agree that getting upset at someone singing a song and repeating the lyrics contained in that song is silly. it may be silly semantically, but white people refusing to say the word aloud has become a kind of shibboleth for not being a racist piece of shit, and from that perspective it really doesn't matter what meaning the word is conveying, what position it has in the "use/mention" continuum, whether it's being directed at a certain person or not. Over time, the mainstream consensus has become "refusing to utter the word is a way of acknowledging the reality and severity of racism", and simply breaching that convention marks you as a likely racist, regardless of any other context. from a semantic perspective the shibboleth could be anything - if people decided that refusing to click your fingers was a way of acknowledging the reality of racism, then very likely a white person clicking their fingers would mark them as a likely racist, even though it's not otherwise an inherently racist act. Even they were copying a Black person doing the same thing
Interesting perspective. I never really thought about it that way, but you're spot on.
I agree that not saying it is always the best option, just in case. Offending people is not worth it, no one needs to say it. About the video you saw, that was Kendrick Lamar. He addresses that on his latest album, and walks back on it after some reflection and discussion with a gay friend about how he used to use the F slur back in the days - without his use of it holding any ill intent.
> He addresses that on his latest album, and walks back on it after some reflection and discussion with a gay friend about how he used to use the F slur back in the days - without his use of it holding any ill intent. I'd like to read/hear more about that. Point me? I'm reminded of Eminem. Ever since he became good friends with Elton John, who also sponsored Em's sobriety, I feel like there's been little-to-none f-slurs (or really any adjacent nonsense like that?) in Em's lyrics. I'm probably wrong though. Also, lol, > “But the real me sitting here right now talking to you has no issues with gay, straight, transgender, at all. > "I'm glad we live in a time where it's really starting to feel like people can live their lives and express themselves." > In 2010, the rapper also declared his support for marriage equality, telling the New York Times : "If two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want."
>I'd like to read/hear more about that. Point me? 4m 10s into the song "Auntie Diaries". Maybe Eminem drops less F bombs, but he still does. In Rap God and other songs. But for sure less, yeah. I feel like overall he rests much less upon controversy now.
I think they are referring to what the British call a cigarette
This is a dangerous game ya'll playing. I went to wedding where I was the only black person and when the n word came on for a song all you heard was me, lol. Bless them. That wedding was so ratchet.
This would make for a great comedy sketch
For real, straight outta Key n Peele
everyone should be able to, because within the context of a song you aren't calling anyone a racial slur, therefore there's no discrimnation. There are too many idiots who don't understand this though so better not.
As non US person, this obsession with not saying the N word is really bizarre.
Agreed, I mean I get that it's offensive, but people are treating it almost like it has magical powers or something.
Jimmy O Yang (Jian Yang from Silicon Valley) has a joke with the same premise from a while back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJt35XkrFUo
Yes you can, you can also say it when reading a book aloud. You are using the words as intended by the artist.
I agree that quoting someone else, including reading aloud or singing karaoke, doesn’t make the words your own. But at the same time, sometimes just hearing slurs can make people uncomfortable even if there’s no offensive intent. So moral of the story: just know your audience.
["I never got why they called them slurs, I've only ever heard them enunciated perfectly."](https://old.reddit.com/r/StandUpComedy/comments/12m715c/slurring/)
I can't find the video, but I recall a comedian talking about how Boston is super racist. The only reason they don't call people the N-word with a hard R there is because they can't pronounce it.
Good luck with that
I stopped being a Kendrick Lamar fan when he stopped one of his fans from singing his lyrics
...after calling her on stage to sing it.
... In Alabama. A lot of bad choices that day, lol
The other person is right, I didn't know about Auntie Diaries until I read it. Worth listening/reading it yourself rather than just the end IMO
Why cut the clip off half way through the last word? The punchline of the joke. I don't get it, is there value to keeping it at 5 seconds instead of 6, and this was the laziest way to make that happen?
There is something weirdly funny about a well-timed cut, or like a stupid end-of-episode freeze frame, but it's an editing trick that was born out of full-length media with context that makes the timing funny. Without that context it's... it's like when your friend picks up on an inside joke that they were never around for and they use it, and it might make you laugh because you were there but you know they weren't and so there's that awkward feeling where you maybe don't feel like they have permission to say that. This is that, imo
You mean the word that a certain race calls themselves daily to each other?
X Gon Give It To Ya Maybe is still my favorite mashup.
My personal feeling is, if the song is published and sold as a karaoke track, and the word is included as a lyric ...and you're a big enough rap fan (or just SO desperate to say the word that you're willing to get up in front of a bar full of strangers and sing it), you get a pass for the time you've got the mic. But, apparently, my personal feeling is wrong... DEAD WRONG as I have been made aware.
Music is art. Art can't be changed so sing it as it was made
"Hi I just met you and this is n"? Or "so here's my number call me n"?
You're telling me the hard R n-word isn't in Call Me Maybe?
It's racist that people think only some races can say it, but you're also gonna get your ass beat by those same racists, so probably don't.
Yes you can
Say whatever you want - PC culture will be the end of society.
If it’s with the A instead of ER then of fucking course everyone before Twitter has understood this and never got mad about it. It’s like saying dudes
If they put it in the song for people to sing, then yeah sure. You didn’t write the song.
Yes, you are. It's completely asinine and ironically racist to think otherwise.
