Is there a white guy version?

It's like Black cinema... for a while, every Black film was 'important' and meant something, as all 'minority films' are expected to be. It's a tribute to the decline in racism that movies with predominately Black casts/directors/producers are terrible now. Blacks earned the right to make ****ty movies with no social significance (just like white folk!).
Likewise with rap. People are too content with the status quo to listen to a modern day Public Enemy. It doesn't speak to the majority anymore.
It could really be seen as societal progress.

Why do you always get excited about ****ty stuff (Duke Nukem)? You're like a hipster.
You probably love you some Bruce Campbell, too.
Nobody talks **** about bruce cambell and lives.

Incidentally, I've never actually seen any of his movies.
Good corny fun.

I never liked classical music until I watched immortal beloved. I never liked country until I was in the alamo drafthouse in texas and I saw an old performance by Johnny Cash. I never liked r and b until I started picking up women. And it goes on. Today, I listen to punk, ska, reggae, alternative, country, pop, r and b, rap...whatever.
I would list sting and common as important lyricists. As well as many others.
I think Eloks problem is the same as many peoples problem. They simply can't understand what's being said and how it's being said. If I played Rappers Delight for my 18 yr old son he would get bored just the same as if I played Johnny Cash. He has no appreciation for it because he does not speak the same language and his ears are simply not attuned to certain types and certain eras of music. Just like when I watch shows like Boardwalk Empire, I don't see why people listened to most songs of the 20s and 30s, the voices seem out of tune or something, but we've got to realize that was what was happening at the time.
Respiration is a great song that came out around 97-98, the issues brought up in the song were new at the time. Rappers Delight was doing something FRESH at the time. Rappers today are way more advanced but there is still something to be said for originators. Also, if a person found a way to make music with screeching cats I would applaud them. Just like when people make music with industrial pipes, turn tables and etc. I.E. taking an object and coming up with a new and exciting way to use it.
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"

What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/
What can make a nigga wanna loose all faith in/Anything that he can't feel through his chest wit sensation
Anyway, I think this movie has a very interesting and exciting premise and I love the design of the society, spaceships, base and etc..I want to see this movie!
