The Hypocrisy of The Hip Hop Haters

Harold Pinter
The 2005 Nobel Prize Winner For Poetry
vs
DMX
American Football
Hallelujah!
It works.
We blew the shit out of them.
We blew the shit right back up their own ass
And out their fucking ears.
It works.
We blew the shit out of them.
They suffocated in their own shit!
Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord for all good things.
We blew them into fucking shit.
They are eating it.
Praise the Lord for all good things.
We blew their balls into shards of dust,
Into shards of fucking dust.
We did it.
Now I want you to come over here and kiss me on the mouth.

VS.
Who We Be
The bullshit, the drama (uhh), the guns, the armour (what?)
The city, the farmer, the babies, the mama (what?!)
The projects, the drugs (uhh!), the children, the thugs
(uhh!) The tears, the hugs, the love, the slugs (c'mon!)
The funerals, the wakes, the churches, the coffins (uhh!)
The heartbroken mothers, it happens, too often (why?!)
The problems, the things, we use, to solve 'em (what?!)
Yonkers, the Bronx (uhh!), Brooklyn, Harlem (c'mon!)
The hurt, the pain, the dirt, the rain (uhh!)
The jerk, the fame, the work, the game (uhh!)
The friends, the foes, the Benz, the hoes (what?!)
The studios, the shows, comes, and it goes (c'mon!)
The jealousy, the envy, the phony, the friendly (uh-huh!)
The one that gave 'em the slugs, the one that put 'em in me
(whoo!) The snakes, the grass, too long, to see (uhh, uhh!)
The lawnmower, sittin, right next, to the tree (c'mon!)

That first one is really a poem? That's not a joke?

Where is the hypocrisy?? A white man who most don't know and is saying some shit that no one understands... and may think it's a joke. Versus a man who swears that he has lived/currently lives by his own distructve language that mostly kids listen to. Come on ... Step up your pimp game son!

Go to a Harold Pinter play sometime.

He is a brilliant writer and playwright.

False dilemma here.
Two different art forms. Which one is better ?

There is no accounting for belief and every one views art differently.

So why compare two artists in a false way ?

It is not a pissing contest.
Both provide something.

DMX doesn't need Nobel to validate him. As a matter of fact it would probably put a serious dent in his street cred.

And just because you and I and many like us might think that first piece of Nobel prize winning crap is crap, there are just as many people who might look at at piece of DMX's and feel exactly the same way. Who's right, who's wrong, who cares?

Your point in this is to once again demonstrate the superiority you wish to project. That's an dangerous and dumb road to walk down, following in the footsteps of the insane people who brought us the GSWS.
