rappers, do not sing!
trump has seemed to rise to a level that he has, and he completely sucks!
And, rappers wrap, so, it is still a song.
Music constitutes any song, whether your a singing or talking. Instruments are still involved. Drums, bass guitar, lead guitar, keyboard, synthetic, piano, sax, computer sampling, ect ect ect.
Don't equate an asshole bigot like Trump to Ice T. Again, if you want to say, "It isn't my cup of tea" I get it. But no, Ice T has talent as far as music. Nobody is arguing he should run for office.
All I am hearing is that you don't like Ice T. Lots of people don't like ABBA either, but who is suggesting we elect Ice Tea to President or members of ABBA to President? NOBODY.
Humans are good at certain things and not good at other things. No, I would not elect Agnetha Faltskog as president, or Ice T. But we are talking about two different contexts.
I don't trust Trump to clean out my cat's litter box. But if we are talking about music and not politics, why would, or should you have a problem with anyone liking Ice T or ABBA or Metalica or Rush or Run DMC, or Tone Loc, or the Beach Boys, or anything?
All you can say is you don't like Ice T.
My late mother hated all the music I grew up with mostly. But we did occasionally find songs we both liked. "My Life" by Billy Joel, "Sunday Girl" by Blondie, she even once sang "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar in a long car ride with me. Mind you she was born in 1933 and for her to do that, impressed the fuck out of me.
And I of course was not into her age of music, I was younger of course. But even I could tolerate and even like some of the stuff she liked.
Again, when you say Ice T sucks, all you are saying is you are not into his music. And nobody suggested we elect him President in any case.
