The Culture Game just Changed

[Phatscotty]

AMAZING!!

[Lootifer]

What game changed what now?

If you were pointing to how very polished and talented eminem is as a rapper then welcome to the 1990s? I dont really see anything else going on here...

[waauw]

unfortunately not exactly one of eminem's better songs

[Dukasaur]

I wouldn't refer to any rap as "songs". More like "arguments with a drum machine in the background."

I'm guessing you don't like rap?

Great as the ocean, your wisdom is...

Where else in American pop culture today do Jesus or Church get positive play?

Some Eminem experts as well as other rap experts have concluded Eminem was divinely inspired here. The jury is still out about whether this video is divine intervention.

Basically any radio station named "The Eagle" or "The Wolf" or "The [Insert Mammal of Choice]."

[saxitoxin]

Though, admittedly, Jesus usually has to compete for time against Chevy trucks, basset hounds, and whiskey ... sometimes even in the same song!

Iv'e never heard of it = not pop culture

You may be right in that religious views aren't highly celebrated in modern pop culture. But on the flipside of that coin they are seldom opposing those same views.

Remember that dodgy and distasteful songs and lyrics, while maybe booking you a fast track to hell if such a place exists, are not the same as songs and lyrics that directly pull the middle finger to religion. I'd suggest most pop culture is "null" when it comes it's view on religion, that is it neither pro- nor anti- religion.

[Phatscotty]

whoa! A Conservative comedian?! This is bigger than I thought....

[Lootifer]

I dont get what the big deal is?

Theres conservative artists of all kinds and theres liberal artists of all kinds. Yes there seems to be a higher proportion of liberal arists in modern pop culture; but that is simply reflective that liberal views are generally more popular in society on the whole (rightly or wrongly).

Instead of making some narcissistic post that attempts to make it seem like something revolutionary is going on, why dont you make a post attempting to honestly and genuinely celebrate conservative artists?

First, mind dropping some names on the Conservative side per 'artists of all kinds'? Let's leave out music if you don't mind, but go ahead include it if you really want to. Off the top of your head would be bestest. If you have to internetz for your answer, that won't do much justice for your premise

I couldn't stand him for many years, but I never denied he has talent (at least read a thesaurus). Then yeah 'Lose yourself' was a big deal, and he's been around the corner now guarantee you he has an entirely different perspective. In a moment of clarity a couple months ago, I caught a glimpse of something titled "Islamic America" based on some personal thoughts concerning Snoop Dogg, Prince, Shaq, Michael Jackson converting to islam, and how the next black generation will completely reject Jesus Christ and Christianity as a 'white' religion, and Islam will be the new 'black' religion, which occurred to me during the Baltimore riots just in a thought 'MAN! If these guys were all Islamic converts, they'd be organized as ALL HELL.' I won't get into it and how that vision came to me, but I will admit it was something that made me go and grab my Bible immediately, open up to a random page, and start reading.

I got Jeremiah 5:19

And when your people ask, 'Why did the LORD our God do all this to us?' you must reply, 'You rejected him (as did your fathers and their fathers) and gave yourselves to foreign gods in your own land. Now you will serve foreigners in a land that is not your own.

The more I read Jeremiah, my 'good vibration' only got stronger and more intense....

per Eminem, I saw the OP as in tingly indicator maybe that's exactly the way things are going in music/culture, and M is and has been at ground zero for a while now. Oh, and 'Square Dance' is still on my playlists that make it to CD form and get play in my ride.

Never been the type to bend or budge
The wrong button to push, no friend of Bush
I'm the center piece, you're a Maltese
I'm a pitbull off his leash, all this peace talk can cease
All these people I had to leave in limbo
I'm back now, I've come to release this info
I'll be brief and let me just keep shit simple
Can a bitch don't want no beef with Slim
No! Not even on my radar
So won't you please jump off my dick, lay off and stay off
And follow me as I put these crayons to chaos

Let your hair down to the track, yeah kick on back
The Boogiemonster of rap, yeah the man's back
With a plan to ambush this Bush administration
Mush the Senate's face in, push this generation
Of kids to stand and fight for the right to say somethin
You might not like, this white hot light
That I'm under, no wonder I look so sunburnt
Oh no I won't leave no stone unturned
Oh no I won't leave, won't go nowhere
Do si do, oh yo ho, hello there

Oh yeah, don't think I won't go there
Go to Beirut and do a show there
Yeah you laugh till your motherfuckin' ass gets drafted
While you're at band camp thinkin' the crap can't happen
'Til you f*ck around, get an anthrax napkin
Inside a package wrapped in Saran Wrap wrappin'
Open the plastic and then you stand back gaspin'
Fuckin' assassins, hijackin' Amtraks, crashin'
All this terror, America demands action
Next thing you know, you've got Uncle Sam's ass askin'
To join the army or what you'll do for their navy

You just a baby, gettin' recruited at eighteen
You're on a plane now, eatin their food and their baked beans
I'm twenty-eight, they gon'
Take you 'fore they take me
Crazy insane, or insane crazy?
When I say Hussein, you say Shady

My views ain't changed, still inhumane, wait
Arraigned two days late, the date's today, hang me

Nothin' moves me more than a groove that soothes me
Nothin' soothes me more than a groove that boosts me
Nothin' boosts me more, or suits me beautifully
There's nothin' you can do to me, stab me shoot me
Psychotic hypnotic product, I got it the antibiotic
Ain't nobody hotter and so on and yada yada
God I talk a lotta hum de lay de la la
Oochie walla walla, um di da dah da dah but you gotta gotta
Keep movin, there's more music to make

Keep makin new shit, produce hits to break
The monotony, what's gotten into me?
Drugs, rock, and Hennessey, thug like I'm 'Pac on my enemies
On your knees, got you under siege
Somebody you would give a lung to be
Hungry, like a fuckin' younger me
f*ck the fee, I can get you jumped for free
Yeah buddy, laugh it's funny, I have the money
To have you killed by somebody who has nothing
I'm past bluffing, pass the KY
Let's get ready for some intense, serious ass fucking!

Without the internet I don't have any to give you because I don't pay attention to pop music all that much. Only Kid Rock really stands out, but he is a libertarian repub so that may or may not count with you. But Country and Western is hardly an unpopular music genre and that is predominantly of a conservative bent.

To be honest when I think of artists and their conservative/liberal status I mostly think "I don't know" because, as I mentioned they don't tend to address the topic all that often. Sure artist like Macklemore and others have been vocal about some liberal things but on the whole it doesn't seem to matter to me. Apparently Alice Cooper is a conservative though (I did google at the end there ).

Music is an obvious one, and i know a lot of people like country music, but that is way down on the list of what comes to mind at least for me when I think about pop culture, like in the not on the list category. Not too many eh?

I know one!

[Lootifer]

Wut? No offense but what relevance does some Soldier have to with this discussion? I thought we were trying to celebrate conservatives in music?

(vaguely on topic I like the song you linked, I dont believe in god, but i can certainly respect eminem as an artist. He is exceptionally talented).

Also ask me how many liberal artists I know...

Spoiler alert. Id have consult google for that too. I mainly listen to dirty punk which is undeniably liberal, but most people think my taste in music sucks so thats probably not pop.
