I...have no words now.
I wish I knew why people need to rap about tragedies?
For the sake of my sanity and ongoing happiness, I'm just going to forget this exists.
When in doubt, always trust RnB artists to make things worse.
"I am Jack's complete lack of surprise..."
The same thing happened when our president (and 95 other people) died in a plane crash in 2010. Some people will use any opportunity for shameless self-promotion. We've had our fair share of that for the last 3 years... I'm sorry to see that now it's America's turn.
I guess both cases illustrate that there is an overabundance of dickheads in the world.
Also: wtf is a 'baby kaely'? I think I'm gonna start censoring my own internet if things keep going in this direction.
See, and here I thought we could all agree that it wasn't cool for famous musicians to use horrific tragedies to promote their latest up-and-coming child star. There goes all hope of that.
I think it's the fact that it's a kid singing it, a kid old enough to have been in one of those classrooms, that really pisses me off. If will.i.am himself wanted to sing a tribute song to the victims of Sandy Hook, that would be one thing. But this is just so shamelessly manipulative. And because it's from the perspective of a kid, it comes across as so flippant. Who's the target audience for this song? What were they thinking? I'm sick to my stomach that someone could be so crass.
I genuinely can't remember the last time that something offended me so much. Sandy Hook is less than an hour from my house, and my family knows families who attended school there, so stuff like this really gets my blood boiling. If one of my sisters had been killed in a school shooting, the last thing I'd want to hear is some kid rapper clumsily rhyme her name with a lyric about how sad this all makes her. I want to vomit.
Got through about the first minute. Had to turn it off out of embarrassment than anything else. Like Squiggy said, nothing is off limit, this really is just horrible horrible music, like why-the-hell-would-anyone-accept-a-million-dollars-to-be-forced-to-listen-to-it-let-alone-pay-to-hear-it-horrible.
Did I lose a hell of a lot of respect for Will.I.Am (From a pool that wasn't really all that big in the first place)? Hell yes. But am I going to get angry that we continue to live in a world where someone can make this song if they wanted to? Fuck you for even suggesting it.
Of course the artist has the right to produce what he wants. I live in an area where people have unpopular opinions, but I will never stop them from assembling together. But, I will also protest against ideas I disagree with.
