Aside from the statement implying a stereotype of black people and thus displaying incredible ignorance, it is also wrong for the following reason:

I think you are overanalizing the holy hell out of that comment.

I think he was merely stating that RHCP do funk better than any other white artist/band. And thats his opinion, one that I share I might add.

there ain't NOTHING the slightest funky about Anthony Keidis and his lameass band.

Now you're just being an elitist douche.

Mother's Milk and BSSM have some damn funky moments, it must be said.

I absolutely detest the direction that the Chili Peppers went right after OMH. For me, the peak Chili Peppers was with Hillel Slovek. The original Chili Peppers feel died with Hillel. Mothers Milk and BSSM are good albums, but I am much more partial to the funk in the early Chili Peppers.

Richard please stop.

Why is it that some people get so worked up if you criticize a band like the Chilis. I mean seriously, boo boo, you're talking as if I'm personally insulting you or something.

On the topic of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' more funk-orientated songs, it occurred to me the other day that a good deal of these songs may be more aptly passed off as being rooted in/influenced by hardcore punk, a la Beastie Boys. A number of the songs are also passable as old-school hiphop.

Songs like Right On Time particularly make me think of the hardcore.

They're considered a Funk-Punk band.

Sacred cows and all that.

I think this bland piece of sh*t record deserves any savaging it gets. And before I get accused of being a hater I would like to point out I spent money on this crap and have a perfect right to voice my utter contempt at this turd of an album.

ProggyMan · 05-20-2008, 06:19 PM

Do you like their earlier stuff?

What about me?

I wasted perfectly good disc space for a Pulp album. And I blame you personally.

Worst thing I downloaded since that Rusty Cooley album.

Of course, you wont find me on a pulp thread trying to convince people that they are bad, I just don't like them, theres nothing more to it. So why waste my time? If people like Pulp thats ok with me.

You already expressed your opinion about this album, and if you want to elaborate more on why you don't like it, thats fine. I know I wont agree with it. Review threads are for giving your honest opinion after all.

All I ask is that you be more productive in your criticism, and no I don't consider posting a video of a cat taking a **** to be productive criticism.
