A lot of loop holes in everything you said, but this is what gets me:

Quote:

It's only misogynistic because that's the way you interpret it
It's misogynistic because he's acting like a ****ing misogynist. There's no 'interpretation' to it.


Quote:

you didn't have to say it, it was implied by the tone of your post. Which now I'm gathering that you just straight up don't like him and think he has no talent
Oh good lord. I see your problem... You're like an Ernest Hemingway fan, likely an aspiring English literature student, hoping that EVERYTHING I write has some sort of understated message to it. Here's a tip: when people write stuff, that's usually what they mean. You're clearly not in possession of the analytical skills to deconstruct anything I've ever posted.

Quote:

Evidence that you just straight up don't like him
Wow, he makes a ****ty song but I enjoy the production? And "Evidence"? Haha, what, are you trying to use pretentious essay lingo to make yourself sound intelligent now, too?

Everything that you have an opinion on is based on your interpretation of the lyrics but whatever I guess you don't realize that.

you can take your tip and shove it. :finger:

I know exactly what I'm talking about even though you choose to not even understand what I was saying and decide to insult me for it. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

The only reason I said "evidence" because all throughout your post, you are like prove I said this and prove I said that like it's some sort of court case.

Clutnuckle, I don't think its mysogionistic. Can't a woman do a man wrong? Is Alanis Morisette a man hater because she wrote a song bitching about Uncle Joey?
Fuck the gender binary.
EDIT: I kept thinking about it and I realize that we as a culture love **** like this from both genders. Isn't this what Taylor Swift has built her entire career on? I don't know. Perhaps I'm biased because I like the song, I like the guy who sings it, and I like Gnarls Barkley but I don't think its sexist.

Yes, I'm the ignorant one when you're clearly a zealous English student who thinks they actually have some sort of original ability to deconstruct the thoughts of others because their teacher wrote "Good work!" on their grade 10 Hamlet essay. How's that for interpretation?

Oh, I perfectly understand the 'time and place' aspect of demeaning another gender - if I was against it, I wouldn't have sat through an entire Geto Boys album yesterday. But what Cee-Lo has done here is the worst branch of that whole sexist bull**** - he's veiled his disdain in the form of a 'LOOK AT ME! I'M THE VICTIM' song, which is just sad. At least 2 Live Crew were truly doing their **** for jokes.

I'm afraid I can't do that. My English teacher hasn't taught me how to do that yet.

I wouldn't have to attempt to deconstruct your thoughts if you'd just own up to the fact that you hate Cee Lo-Green and that you have some warped sense of entitlement where you feel like you are better than me for whatever reason.

If that is your interpretation of me then fine. It's part of your opinion but it's way off base just like how you interpreted Cee Lo's lyrics. I was pretty sure that his lyrics were simplistic and didn't leave much room for open interpretation but I'm wrong in that aspect because you have your mind set on this whole misogynistic theme that clearly isn't there imo.

I like this exchange more than I like Cee-Lo Green

ThePhanastasio 03-26-2011 11:03 PM

Cee Lo is able to achieve catchy pop hits in addition to being legitimately talented. I respect the Hell out of the man.

Antonio 03-27-2011 10:31 AM

definitely a man who enjoys making music rather than just hits imo
