"since the last Sa-Ra post was so much fun"


  

          

i want to talk a little bit about their lyrics

some of them kinda bother me

i mean, i'm not a prude... in fact, some could even argue that i'm a degenerate. but i don't know why i'm sorta put off my all these lines about grabbing people's cocks and licking them from their ass to their crotch.

their music is great, but i think these lyrics cheapen it a little bit... it's not necessary. and i don't think it's sexy either.

what's MOST distrubing about this, though, is that i find myself identifying with Mr Coolidge, who consistently dogs my man Cody for his vulgar language (which doesn't offend me in the least) and accuses him of deliberately coarsening his songs in order to appeal to the unwashed and unlettered hip-hop demographic. i don't think Cody does this, but i think Sa-Ra do... and i wish they would stop.

(interestingly enough, Warren has no problem with Sa-Ra's vulgarity... go figga, my nigga)
