    Glad to see they've finally instituted a valid product testing program...

    Cannot believe parents would allow their children to be in the same room as a dumbed down trash like that.

    Don't believe that those destroyed PCs are in a better place. They could have been saved with Linux. All PCs are welcome to convert to Linux. We accept them with open arms.


     


    These days the word rapper should raise red flags regarding lyrics. Only Will Smith would be a rapper who wouldn't use such language. He even campaigned against gangsta rap and negativity in rap music. The chain of command at Microsoft really messed up this one. Who will get fired and who will be demoted over this? Perhaps since they don't really care that much, everything will remain the same.


     


    I would like to read a follow up story to know if Machine Gun Kelly gets sued or if his performance fee would be withheld.

    A rapper going berserk in a Microsoft store.

    Of course really since music is art, anything can be considered music, so I guess its music...  I can also call flatulence music too.



     


    What?


     


    You've discredited his work as noise, even though he has millions of fans, has received recognition for his work, and is signed by a music label. Purely because you dislike him due to your prejudice.


     


    Flatulence is not music. Music has rhythm. It's a well understood concept to most people and has a definition in an encyclopedia (we can cover what that is another time).

    As one of my favorite lyricists once penned "There's a killer on the road. His brain is squirming like a toad".

    Pointless condescension aside, you're wrong. It can very well be music.

    Some music also has melody, harmony, and counterpoint.

    They've hit the top 100 and are signed by Interscope Records. That takes a lot of dedication that you don't find in someone you'd call "trash".





    Wrong...



    When the mass of people constituting the bottom of society, all band together and vote for some guy that too is at the bottom of society, guess what... he's still at the bottom of society.



    Look into the audience during a hardcore rapper's performance.  What are the odds that most of them have a rap-sheet?  - pun intended.

    Delivering lyrics with the speed of a bullet train, Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly (aka MGK) experienced a meteoric rise in late 2011. Born Richard Colson Baker in Texas but raised in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, MGK began making news in 2009 when he became the first rapper to win at amateur night at Harlem's Apollo Theater. A series of mixtapes, including 100 Words and Running,Lace Up, and Rage Pack came next; a 2011 performance at SXSW was followed immediately by a meeting with Sean CombsKelly signed with Comb's Bad Boy imprint that night and released the single "Wild Boy" on the label that same year. The track featured special guest Waka Flocka Flame and MGK's debut album Lace Up landed in 2012.

    Now that would be a great commercial.  "I'm a PC and I'm gonna put a cap in your Mac a%#!" Boom!

    It was all a big misunderstanding! This was the pizza delivery driver, not a rap singer! It all makes perfect sense now.
