We love our readers, especially when they send us links to stories featuring a “clueless old white guy mocking a simple request by a pro football player to hear some more current songs at the stadium…I’ll copy and paste below in case the St. Louis Post-Dispatch hires an editor before you click the link.” Hey, looks like the Post-Dispatch declined to do so.
Rams running back Steven Jackson pointed out this glaring deficiency to reporters after Sunday’s loss [to the Seahawks]. Jackson asked the scribes to petition the stadium-operation types to play more lively music.
Of course, that’s what is missing–hip-hop!
How can the Rams expect to turn things around without a change in music application? What are these stadium people thinking, not playing more hip-hop with a predominantly middle-aged audience in the stands? How can these Souljas Boys be expected to perform when the commercial interludes aren’t jumping, yo?
The road to the Super Bowl starts with a clef, a five-line staff, and a bleeped-out rhyme.
Wow, between that, the mocking/ironic use of the word “dawg” in the headline, and calling Akon “Akron,” looks like it’s Dan O’Neill for the cornball win today.
Lil Hip-Hop Would Be Music To Jax’s Ears, Dawg [Post-Dispatch; HT: Josh Katz]
yeah! i love me some arcade fire hip-hop!
“lil”
also lol @ the copy editor who decided that it’s proper style to capitalize “dawg”.
he forgot to include the point about rap music making all the white owners feel really uncomfortable at their stadiums
I love that band, Arcade. They are the most.
Man, what a tool.
I’ll tell you, American Hi-Fi is one of the most hardcore rap crews out there.
I think Arcade is supposed to be a rapper. I’m sure Arcade is very miscegenated.
It’s no big deal. They play rap during Cards games sometimes.
The columnist, however, is doing a great impression of the Noah’s Arcade owner from Wayne’s World.
Yeah, cause all that ails the Rams is the lack of an appropriate soundtrack…
You cant go to a Steelers game without getting bombarded with Bon Jovi, AC/DC, OZZY and Donnie Iris on the PA system…the lack of hip-hop hasnt held them back…
@Mick Kraut: Does that mean if they played Donnie Iris for the Pirates they’d win?
Sadly no, King Cool cant even rescue the Buccos…
@jordan_s:
Of course, the NYT would have to style it “Mr. Dawg”…
