Trust Donny to miss the whole point. Nothing new there. Anyhow, yes Dave, I've heard many versions of the song, both vocal and instrumental. I even play the song; I like it (as a song). I only used it to show how different people view things through different cultural lenses, and how one thing that is familiar and comfortable to you may not seem offensive at all while something foreign will seem totally disgusting ALTHOUGH THEY MAY BE BEARING THE SAME MESSAGE. Let's be honest here; 98% of older Whites are going to hate Rap; period. But guess what. So do 98% of old Black folks. Sure, there is a very large racial component, but there is also a large GENERATIONAL component. In the meantime, you get posts like the one above whose sole purpose is to exacerbate an already toxic subject. Some people are just incapable of seeing below the surface of a complex social issue. I tend to ignore the thoughts, opinions, and mostly, the posts of these people as they add little of value to the conversation. 'nuff said.
