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.
