LOS ANGELES — Legendary metal musician, and noted septuagenarian, Ozzy Osbourne broke new ground when he became the first old white man to complain about a rap song and actually be on the right side of history.
“This is the first time we’ve ever seen a person of Ozzy’s age, wealth status, and complexion complain about a rap song or artist and actually be correct. Especially when they say it in an all-caps Tweet,” said music scholar Aiden Lawrence
Well I mean rap is hot trash.
I’m a 60yo white guy, and this comment hurts me. I used to be in your camp until the radio stations I typically listened to (rock, country, classical) in GTA San Andreas got old and I flipped on the hip-hop station just to get something different.
I don’t know hip-hop like I know rock or country, but there is a lot of that music that gets five stars on my music server.
I’m 40 and I grew up listening to rap mostly and metal. I grew up in an era where, at least where I lived, there was this “I listen to everything but rap and country” attitude. There is really great music everywhere you look. It took me a while to look at country to realize what I was missing, though, so I guess I was a part of the problem.
Let’s get down to brass tacks: I probably couldn’t stand what you pass off as “music” either, but you don’t see me showing up at the circus, telling you what notes to play on the organ.
Go ahead, show the world how ignorant you are.
