Politically Incorrect on the hip hop culture part 1

[matx6886]

RAKIM=the greatest rapper of all time, there is an inteligent man but that doesn't sell.

[matx6886]

[ROy1849]

dam coolio know alot

[MotherNikita]

How ignorant is Bill Maher to think all hip hop is ego (check out alternative, conscious and political hip hop), and that Elvis is actually good. Especially when there's Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry, Magic Sam, and Howling Wolf. And of course he sucks Eminem's dick, the rapper who made a song about killing his wife, putting her in a trunk, and another song where he got his child to help him throw the body in a river. Yeah, ego is horrible compared to that.

[scienceatheism]

where you draw the line is killing his wife? but its ok for other hip hop artists to say the N word or talk about killing their enemies with a very specific gun type which is either an AK or a 45 for some reason, calling women bitches, ho's, sluts and shit. Glorifying that shit is fine but if eminem makes a song about killing his wife thats where you draw the line? killing people is ok but as long as it isnt the wife just bitches and sluts.

[MotherNikita]

@scienceatheism When the fuck did I argue that any kind of rap that glorifies violence is fine? I was arguing that Maher sucking off Eminem was stupid, because Eminem is no better than any other rapper that has an ego (he's actually a lot worse, because he truly glorified violence while most of the others just acted like assholes and talked about getting weed and pussy), and I'd rather have egotistic rappers than ones that make songs about killing their wives.

[k5lta]

Coolio knows whats up!!

[cockbulge69]

poppy cock.

[arsenalskate123]

just wanted to respond to the "garbage man making more money than police men" remark. i agree that police men/woman are underpaid as-well as teacher's, but just because the garbage man handles trash/garbage, everybody needs the garbage man. imagine one month with out the garbage service..... they are both difficult in their own different way and needed. i really disliked that comment. p.s. i'm not a garbage man

[joeglo420]

just once id like to hear white people not complain when black people do discuss race. Ur right the only time u think about racism is when black people bitch about it. Thats because ur white and you have the luxury of not having to think about race. Unfortunately some black people bring up race when it has nothing to do with a particular topic/situation, and it sucks because it encourages shitty attitudes like yours. "All black people bring race into every topic" isnt true, dumb and generic.

[tmxman23]

Just once I would like to hear black people discuss any topic without bringing race into it. The only time I even think about racism is when I hear black people bitching about it. Quit blaming all your problems on racism and step up and be more accountable about your actions. Sure racism exists, but not every problem is a race problem.

[365to173repubsPWNED]

@joeglo420 it's not going to happen

[GeneralMitu]

Oh, it's Coolio, he's not that bad really, he just carried himself poorly in the beginning.

[GeneralMitu]

This rapper here acts like he never went to school. It's not a racial issue, it's an intelligence issue.

[PurpleAvettFan]

"he said 'don't step on my blue suede shoes'"

i died laughing. that's her argument??? wow.

[clipsryan]

The lyrical content of hip hop has been and still is the winner of the most materialistic and egotistical award. This is why I wish hip hop would go back to the way it was; as electro instrumentals.

[TheDogs0fwar]

Cops make less than a garbage man because they quit paying them for beating the shit out of innocent minorities and lower class people.

[thisguyrighthere3]

coolio is not as dumb as he looks

[ShadowCrowX]

Martin Luther King is one of the 2nd comings of Christ

[clipsryan]

@ShadowCrowX And again, his coming changed nothing. Also, when was this predicted in the bible? I don't remember a stripture saying "and I will come back to earth AFTER SLAVERY, and be killed while breaking the rule of free will to possess a black man.". When MLK walked on water, I was amazed.

[ShadowCrowX]

@clipsryan Are you one of those reatards who take the Bible literarly? The second coming of Christ is symbolism of the inner-Christ every human posesses, and MLK expressed that with lessening the blow of racism. Sure racism still exists, but his impact has caused people to negate racism from their minds. His dream lives on because he stood up for an entire skin colour.

[clipsryan]

@ShadowCrowX Oh excuse me! I figured the book that condones racism and was used to excuse slavery would be a bad choice for a man like MLK to use as a source of anti-racism. The fuck was I thinking? Many have stood up for an entire race but lots of them didn't have the pleasure of having a guilty majority from the race that was opressing others. No, I don't take the bible literally for my use, I expect people to take it literally when they claim it's true.

[WickedMo13]

Damn it sucks that Coolio smokes crack now, shhhit

[Rosebudnz08]

man so glad we have dvd now and not vhs

[deelnyc]

Coolio thinking he's living in the last days lolll what a moron

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

I don't know if librarien does this intentionally, but the little cuts of what he recorded over always reveal the signs of the time (Tivo is a brand new thing).

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

I fucking hate when someone is speaking passionately and then someone else tries to act like they're crazy.

The crazy people are all the blind dumbfucks who don't care what happens and don't think about anything.

[rrpauldoran]

ugghh, I'm really tired of all this police-hate. Calm down.

Not all the police are out to get you, this shit needs to stop.

[xpoondiggy]

@rrpauldoran what? haahahahaha you're definately an idiot if you think people are saying it just to say it

[rrpauldoran]

@xpoondiggy

I never said the are "saying it just to say it".

I'm sure police abuse occurs.

But people blow it out of proportion WAYYYYY too often.

[xpoondiggy]

@rrpauldoran people? who? what people?

[rrpauldoran]

@xpoondiggy

Oh I don't know, maybe the overload of people that are constantly bashing the police?

On news, shit on youtube, and everywhere else?

[xpoondiggy]

@rrpauldoran so when you see the stories of police brutality, like how the other day the police kicked down a door & killed a 7 year old little girl looking for her father...do you think to yourself that the police should stop people bashing?

[rrpauldoran]

@xpoondiggy

Taking rarities of extreme police abuse like that don't help your case any more.

That's an exact example of people blowing things out of proportion,

"Look 1 policeman killed a little girl". First of all, this has no context around it, the situation or anything.

Second, one situation doesn't constitute an uprising against all police that a lot of people seem to be moving towards.

[rrpauldoran]

@xpoondiggy

I would agree with you that it is the biggest problem in inner cities.

But even so, shit gets spread around those places so fast, that the truth becomes blurred quite fast.

And this is not a respresentation, again, of most police, or even a decent chunk of police.

[xpoondiggy]

@rrpauldoran so since its not the majority it should be kept quiet? as a black man in America who faces unjust racism on a daily basis, I can relate to your message, trust me. But when our race is generlized by your race in all discussions & every video on youtube, no one steps up make your point then

as a black man with a nice car Im stereotyped & pulled over constantly in the suburbs because police themselves dont share in YOUR sentiment of "its not the majority" how should I feel about it?

[rrpauldoran]

@xpoondiggy

I never said that it should be kept quiet.

I simply am trying to get across that minorities blowing things out of proportion is not helping anything, and in fact haltering their cause a bit in actuality.

I'm sorry that you endure racism, and I would hope it wouldn't be on a daily basis.

When you're pulled over, the cop usually is not going to know your black before he decides to go after you, so this is a little skewed.

[xpoondiggy]

so its about "minorities" like I thought, your comment was more about race than anything, you're basically sying "so what if police harass you, kill innocent people, your complaining is blowing it out of proportion, shut up & take it"

"When you're pulled over, the cop usually is not going to know your black before he decides to go after you" If you really believe that statement than youve either lived a very sheltered life or you're willingly blinding yourself to the other side of the problem

[xpoondiggy]

@rrpauldoran & youre a typical majority youtube troll...In looking at your profile, I see that you dont even seem to like rap at all, so your main reason to click on the title of this video was to complain about minorities. or possibly hiphop in general, you just picked something & ran with it. I know its easier to complain about osmething another race is doing but why dont you offer any critisism in any white videos? you're only complaining about the very thing you're doing yourself

[rrpauldoran]

@xpoondiggy

I'm not trying to "troll" anyone.

And no, actually hip hop/rap is probably my 2nd favorite music genre.

Shit, I probably listen to it more than anything else now that I think about it.

I'm not trying to bash minorities at all. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "minorities" per say, and just said "people".

[xpoondiggy]

@rrpauldoran but you think that its a rarity...in inner cities, police brutality is NOT a rarity, this was an example case out of MANY

[LiBlub1]

So then the auction price will go up, and only rich people will get voiced...

[WonderBread006]

LMAO..COOLIO!!, i just remembered that no talent 

[buggeazy102]

what the fuck is bill talking about rock bands talk about drugs and sex in their songs!

[MFBueno63]

@buggeazy102

hes not talking about drugs and sex....hes talking about ego and how many(not all) modern rappers flaunt their overinflated egos in many of their songs.....what the fuck are u talking about????

[buggeazy102]

@MFBueno63 HOW DOSE RAPPERS EGOs have anything to do with how fucked up the govnt. is? why did he even bring that up so what the fuck are you talkin abooout!

[ScinLaeca358]

What an inane conversation...and Coolio is a retard.

[kenleemar]

is you is or is you aint gonna beleev?

duh time is near hip hop fans

[agent7788]

Tivo sucks!

[CupcakeFactoryLolita]

How could you possibly hate tivo. I love it!

[trufiend138]

rock stars (and wannabes) are self indulgent.

[revolvergod]

Bill Maher is kidding himself if he thinks Elvis didn't have a huge ego, LOL. The King of Rock? Ha.

[tolchock1984]

To be fair he didn't refer to himself as that, other people put that label on him

[MYVnosekai]

in the last days? we are creeping up on 3000 days since this aired, perhaps Coolio needs to rethink his position...

[fretbuzz520y]

I don't think "blue suede shoes" was even written by Elvis.

[thefloacist]

Elvis Presley didn't write any of his songs. Not a single one.

[ScentlessApprentice7]

Elvis didn't write a single song that he performed or that were available on all his albums?

Are you sure? That sounds pretty extreme.

[09AUTUMNUS22]

I wrote every single one of his songs. I didn't get paid in money. I got paid in groupies. fair deal. Except now I'm poor and no woman can ever satisfy me. girls were freaks back in the day.

[mrgb46]

What about Love Me Tender???

[WonderBread006]

@thefloacist

Love me tender?

[Maverick6429]

@thefloacist

Really? I did not know that...who did?

[FungusMossGnosis]

>@thefloacist "Elvis Presley didn't write any of his songs. Not a single one."<

That's an exaggeration!

Elvis wrote most of ''That's Someone You'll Never Forget'' and at least half of "You'll Be Gone."

He co-wrote over half a dozen other songs until 1962.

And by the way -- that commonly, falsely attributed `The only thing negros can do for me...` "quote" has long been discredited. There is ample proof that Presley was not a racist.

And before you accuse me -- I don't even like Elvis much.

[thefloacist]

Nope, not a single song. Otis Blackwell wrote many of hits, and died penniless.

[buggeazy102]

@thefloacist the record label made all the money who were the rappers kidding? the videos the cars an stuff was rented!..i know somone that use to be on the set!

[Surreal469]

did Roshumba just say "Martin Luther...THE King?"

[sweetaliena]

yes she did!

[CBiddy2001]

He needs to auction a spot off on Real Time, I'd love that

[CBiddy2001]

yes thats why I said Real Time, NOT Politically Incorrect

[riffypeat]

You're mistaken. This show is Politically Incorrect, which has been off for seven years. CBiddy2001 is talking about Bill's current show on HBO "Real Time."
