Old School Rap and Old School Rants

Apropos of the 80s and dangerous sex, the Rev had this to say:

"...when I started high school "safe sex" meant your parents were away for the weekend, but by the time I got to university, they were giving the "if you have sex without a condom, you will instantly burst into flames and die" lecture pretty much non-stop 24/7 on every channel"


In honour of that great rant, I give to you this vinyl delight from old school MC, Kool Moe Dee.


"Go See the Doctor"

Talkin' 'Bout My Generation

Hunter S. Thompson sayeth:

"There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die."

Hey, KD, Herb, Kevin, and Kevin, sound familiar? Like your formative high school years? It was not fucking Woodstock. And it was not "Blowjobs or anal, but my religion forbids vaginal intercourse" either. We have earned our grumpy stripes.

And a mighty hat tip to Kevin at The Woodshed for pointing out these quotes to me.
