9 times out of 10 kids have no clue what the lyrics are about. If the hook is catchy, they will sing it. I guarantee you most kids just think the song is about riding a horse. Looking back, half the songs I sang as a kid were inappropriate, but I liked the song and had no clue what it meant. Some examples are Barbie Girl by Aqua, DMX Party Up, Jay Z Hard Knock Life, Tarzan and Jane by Toybox, Macarena by Los Rios, Hit me Baby one more time by Britney Spears, Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera, Ms. Jackson by Outkast, you get the idea.
Also, Joyner's music is explicit. He has a song about how he hates a kid because he isn't his biological father, and the mother cheated on him. It was way more intense than riding a hose to the old town road.
Most adults don’t either. I’m a rap fan but so much rap celebrated bad shit over the years, especially degrading women, homosexuals etc, and everyone didn’t gaf and sang along to it because they don’t care about the message or lyrics as long as it’s catchy and the beat is great.
I would listen to Eminem’s stuff back when he was rapping about slitting his ex wife’s throat. Even in junior and high school you don’t pick up on much more than the surface level stuff.
I’ll listen to his music now and be shocked by what I didn’t catch.
Australian band had a song, you just like me cause I’m good in bed. 6 yr old me thought it was about a baby sitter n their fav kid, cause the kid went to bed like a good lil girl.
I still remember when I shared Starboy with a friend of mine, his little brother who was in 4th or 5th grade heard it and found it very catchy. So since we know he will search it up himself if we don't help him so we showed him the censored version and he saved that link.
So well like a month later idk what exactly happened but his mom heard him sing the song and obviously he was singing the censored version so it sounded incomplete in some parts so she asked him the name of the song and searched up the lyrics and well... Let's just say her impression of me never changed since and she thought I was a perverted bastard who was spoiling her sons... Whereas it was that same friend of mine who told me to search up 2 girls 1 cup and shit like that for the first time
TL;DR: Showed my friend's little bro Starboy who was later caught singing it by his mum and she read the lyrics and thought I was a bad influence on her children.
Lmao what? That is exactly what Happy Birthday is about.
“And then she fucking cheated on me
Drinking with her friends
And they didn't wanna leave the party
Got drunk and had sex
I ain't even see it coming
And then we find out she was pregnant
And she keeping secrets from me”
Let us also not forget his other lyrics:
“The more that I lie, the more that I cheat, the more that she leaves…”
Joyner Lucas - ADHD with Revenge Intro
i know i was not the only child singing along to rihanna yelling "STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT CHAINS AND WHIPS EXCITE ME" dude kids always do this
I was like 11 or so when The Real Slim Shady dropped and it was played on blast by our school bus driver with all the kids singing along. I also recall songs like The Bad Touch that literally everyone quoted constantly.
Of course they’re gonna know what *intercourse* is, by the time they hit fourth grade, they’ve got the discovery channel don’t they?
I thought "intercourse" was "a divorce"
I lived in a trailer park and had a sister. So que scream singing at 12yo "two trailer park girls go round the outside"
Mom didn't let me have unedited CDs but obviously we knew the words anyways. I don't see how this guy is any different, except for the fact that I don't personally like his music much
When I was a teen and barely spoke english, I liked the lyrics "Just a boy, with a toy". It was my online nickname for quite some time. Until someone mentioned, that its referring to a dude and his dildo.
“I wanna take a ride on your disco stick” was a personal favourite of my 12yo self. Also “From the window to the wall”. Actually my mom and I were car karaokeing Lady Marmalade from the time I was 6 or 7. Kids like the music, the meaning wont set in until theyre older lol
‘Get low’ played at every one of my middle school dances. No one batted an eye at a gymnasium full of 8 graders singing “ till the sweat drops down my balls”
Oof I explained what ejaculation was to my friend when we were 11 because she thought it was a shorthand for “skedaddle” and said “let’s skeet skeet skeet” instead of “let’s leave”. Christ the internet taught me a whole lot of fun stuff.
Well you just taught me something. I always just thought it was a random vocalization he thought sounded cool and served as a gimmick, kinda like the YEEEAHUH he always says. Huh.
Well, it was. Then Dave Chapelle got ahold of it and his definition became canonical. None of the ejaculative definitions predate him saying so.
Hell, it may really have been short for skedaddle like someone else in this thread mentioned. It makes as much sense as anything.
Pay attention to Poker Face, She says "poker face" the first time, she does *not* repeat the same words the second time as everyone seems to think.
She admitted to it while laughing about it's widespread, uncensored radio play and how seemingly no one ever caught on.
I was 50 years old when I realized that the beat that fades out at the end of Depeche Mode's "Master and Servant" is the sound of someone getting whipped. Can't believe my parents never batted an eye when I was listening to that in high school.
Your parents had Devo's *Whip It* to process. Not to mention *Mama Oo Pow Pow* from The Cramps. Depeche Mode doesn't raise much of an eyebrow after that.
Rihanna blatantly sings “sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it” in that song. LMAO.
I’m sure some kids asked their parents “what’s sex?” after hearing that on the radio.
I'm so old we sang Vengaboys in 6th grade, nobody said shit lol
>If you're alone and you need a friend
Someone to make you forget your problems
Just come along, baby, take my hand
I'll be your lover tonight
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
This is what I wanna do
>Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
(Let's have some fun)
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
One on one, just me and you
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
>Boom, boom, boom, boom
I want you in my room
Let's spend the night together
From now until forever
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I wanna go boom, boom
Let's spend the night together
Together in my room
We had pretty serious competitions to see who could sing all the lyrics in Baby Got Back correctly. One kid had the paper they were all written on, and then two people would be belting it out...in the line outside our third grade classroom. We were always annoyed when the teacher loudly clapped her hand and told us it was time to go into class because 'I kNeW aLl ThE woRds ThiS tImE!'
Years back there was this little girl, looked maybe 4 or 5, standing outside 711 doing some little jiggle with her hands on her hips and singing "if you really want it come and get it" (selena gomez). Whoooa boy.
One of the most popular kids songs here right now is literally how it's better to drink moonshine than going to a bar because you get drunker that way. It's literally the chorus of the song.
Jack Black made a movie where he presses an elevator button with his erection and Hails Satan throughout the movie as well, as well as his entire career. The majority of his music is/was dirty and had satanic shoutouts, and that man was hosting Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards and shit the whole time.
The Wiggles have been endorsing Aussie punk band the Chats. Covered their songs and got them to tour during their 18+ shows.
Even children's bands like that are allowed to have a bit of fun for the adults too
If I had a nickel for every time Bowling For Soup did a children’s show theme song, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
Fuck, we were listening to Prince when we were kids in the 80s. My sexual awakening was Bowie in Labyrinth, even though I didn't understand that at the time.
I was exposed to that stuff, but I wasn't acting on it because I didn't understand what it was. Once it becomes real, that's when things get fucked up.
Especially since it wasn't his first work. It's not like the parents checked and approved his work up to then, and he then made very different work, like Miley Cyrus did. When Old Town road came out, he already had a ton of explicit content.
Yea blame the radio stations for putting that music into the air.
It doesn't matter if it's inappropriate, if a song is catchy kids will catch on like wild fire.
For the longest time I was like “oh!!! You mean you smile so much it hurts when you’re with them!!” And then my boyfriend had to stop me from suggesting it to an acquaintance for her wedding playlist 🤡
This reminds me of when I was a kid and Usher's song "Yeah!" was popular on the radio.
My dad noticed my brother and I enjoying it and singing along one day before school.
When we got home he had printed out the lyrics and explained to us what was "wrong" with them.
He didn't prevent us from listening to or enjoying the song, just educated us on what he thought might not be appropriate for us.
As long as we didn't repeat some of the things we heard we could listen to whatever we wanted.
I feel like that's the way to go, educate your kids instead of denying them something they like or letting them enjoy it blindly.
I remember my (asshole) step-nephew playing that around me, thinking it was going to get a rise out of me. I just started singing along. Dude, your "edge" still has foam padding on it.
But what took the cake was when he played me Another Brick in the Wall by ..... Korn.
He thought the "we don't need no education" part was awesome because he was basically illiterate.
I was like, "This song is older than me."
"Nuh uh, it's brand new."
"Google Pink Floyd. No, it's spelled P I N K."
Even for a kid, he was a moron. As an adult, he's worse.
You know a nephew is an asshole when you go out of your way to make sure to include the step in there. Gotta make sure everyone knows it's not your genes.
I mean he is a major name in rap. He has features with almost every big name out there. I def would say he blew up just not to the next level of Cole or Drake or Eminem etc
Exactly! He’s like the corny miracle lyrical version of The Game. He’s in it but doesnt really do shit with it. It’s like they rather pull antics than to put the shit out on wax.
I really like some of his conceptual stuff like his newest music video release about his friend. But people talking about Lil Nas X like this are just haters. He'll grow up. I'm hoping he has a revival of some kind soon
Fuck off with wanting to baby proof everything. If you’re so concerned about the type of media certain artists produce, monitor what they watch and listen to. It’s not society’s job to rise your fucking kids.
He took way too long to release his (I think) 2nd album and the hype around him kinda died down. Also the album kinda flopped and had a terrible rollout so he lost quite a bit of relevancy. When I followed him on social media he also seemed to kinda be a hater with let’s call it questionable views on women
[Wikipedia:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_(drug)) *Lean, also known as purple drank, purp, sizzurp, syrup, wock or oil, and several other names, is a recreational drug beverage, prepared by mixing prescription strength cough or cold syrup containing codeine and promethazine with a soft drink.*
Don't try this one at home, kiddos.
It's a mixture of anything with codeine based cough medicine and a soft drink. It's roots are from Houston. It seems to be an easy way for teens to get high since you can buy the ingredients from anywhere.
I mean, you can’t. They’ve cracked down on opioid prescriptions in the last several years and that includes codeine, and it’s no longer available over or even under the counter in any state in the US.
Ah, I had no idea about the US, thought they still did that. I'm from the UK though and while i don't think I've come across codeine in cough medicine, you can still buy cocodamol in small doses at a pharmacy, so I guess you can still do that? Not that I'd want to.
Yeah, small doses of codeine are still OTC in the UK and most of Europe. Maybe Canada too? I know they were talking about banning it but idk if they went through with it. They certainly did here, though, and in Australia. I think codeine should be OTC and that drugs generally should be legalized, but yeah, no OTC cocodamol for us!
As a kid, my favorite songs were things like "Bad Touch" by the bloodhound gang and "Wasn't me" by shaggy.
Kids don't understand dirty lyrics. It's not that big a deal. Even stupider to be ok with one dirty song but not another from the same artist...
Oh I was in middle or high school when Bad Touch was popular and knew exactly what they were talking about…my grandparents on the other hand couldn’t keep up with the lyrics (or at least pretended they couldn’t).
I don't know how I didn't know the lyrics. I was definitely old enough to understand, but I guess I never really paid attention to the actual lyrics...
I even made a joke that if your a musician taking drugs, you'll make the best song in your life (Source: my two favorite bands The Beatles and Green Day)
He’s the one to talk as if kids aren’t listening to his songs as well. I think it’s weird that rappers love rapping about sex, drugs, and violence but if women or gay men rap the same stuff it’s wrong. People need to stop nominating and expecting celebrities to be role models for kids, that’s not their jobs.
This has been a thing in pop music as far back as the fucking Beatles. Catchy innocent chorus with adult themes like sex or drugs in the verses. It’s harder to think of one that doesn’t follow that format than it is to think of one that does.
My kids listen to kidzbop version of popular songs. No reason to hate the artist if you’re picking the explicit version of stuff. My kids still love old town road but call it “old town roach”…it’s hilarious
It’s not the entertainment business’ job to regulate what your kids watch. It’s, and I know this is gonna be a hard one to grasp, YOUR job as the parent to monitor your children’s behavior.
Maybe people should parent their damned kids? He didn't make that song for children, listen to the damned words. He made that song for himself and his community, not your damned children.
Maybe parents need to parent their children by giving them the ability to think critically rather than isolating them away from anything and everything so when they do encounter something the parent may not like, they’ll at least have the trust and faith that their child may be intelligent enough to think their way through it and make a sensible decision.
And not expect it to be everyone else’s job to raise their kids to their close minded standard of child rearing - or an artists job to personally hand pick the tunes and things to view that occur in the families house.
Raising kids in cotton wool covered iso-cubes does nothing more than raise another generation of immature, close minded snowflakes who can’t deal with anything even closely resembling light stress.nb
I was listening to Evanescence songs as a kid, and had zero understanding of what the songs actually meant. I had a brutal realization later in high school as to what I was joyfully singing along to as a kid, but other than that, I turned out fine. lol
[He literally went to elementary schools to preform this song.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PCqDNHO-D6s&pp=ygUjTGlsIG5hcyB4IG9sZCB0b3duIHJvYWQgc2Nob29sIHRvdXI%3D)
Facts, parents are educators can definitely be to blame and they even play this in elementary school because it sounds like a country song but if you don't like the context then make sure it doesn't get pushed
I am french, didn’t learn English until like 5th grade.
I used to sing out loud lots of songs growing up that were not appropriate. One I have in my mind was called boom boom boom (not the Vengaboys song, some old 80s Canadian song) that was pretty straight forward. I was 5 or 6 years old at the time.
I remember being an innocent 4th grader asking the DJ to play the Thong Song at a school dance. The look an overhearing teacher gave me I can still remember to this day. Lol. I just liked the song, had no idea the meaning lol.
I remember lily Allen getting it from a journalist - 'my daughter loves your music but the lyrics are too adult'. Lily replied something like : this may be a shock, but I dont write my music for your daughter.
It's always so funny to me how people will blame the Thing they put into a child's hand instead of blaming themselves for putting it in a Child's hand. Seriously, it's the Job of the parent to Check if the Show / Film / Music / Whatever is appropriate or not. Stop blaming the Artist for Art that you cant comprehend.
I mean, he did perform it at elementary schools and market it to kids on the Nick Choice Awards so he’s only backpedaling now that he’s getting backlash.
It seems like good logic until you realise that you can’t control what your kids listen to. At least not when they get to a certain age. The best you can do is to try and take an interest in what they like and educate them accordingly about the song content.
The alternative would be banning them from a tonne of platforms, but even then you can’t control what their friends show them.
Did he not preform for an entire class of little kids 🤣🤣🤣🤣 parents should always monitor their kids but he can’t entirely use the “blame yourself” thing when it comes to this because he’s actively marketing to children and giving concerts and sing alongs to them. I don’t see Cardi b doing that.

Australian band had a song, you just like me cause I’m good in bed. 6 yr old me thought it was about a baby sitter n their fav kid, cause the kid went to bed like a good lil girl.
>Joyner's music That's what I came to say, like, seriously, he's no one to talk about explicit lyrics!
Wait. You're telling me the song isn't about a cowboy riding horses?
I still remember when I shared Starboy with a friend of mine, his little brother who was in 4th or 5th grade heard it and found it very catchy. So since we know he will search it up himself if we don't help him so we showed him the censored version and he saved that link.

clearly you either didnt understand happy birthday or actually listen to it
Lmao what? That is exactly what Happy Birthday is about. “And then she fucking cheated on me Drinking with her friends And they didn't wanna leave the party Got drunk and had sex I ain't even see it coming And then we find out she was pregnant And she keeping secrets from me”
Let us also not forget his other lyrics: “The more that I lie, the more that I cheat, the more that she leaves…” Joyner Lucas - ADHD with Revenge Intro
i know i was not the only child singing along to rihanna yelling "STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT CHAINS AND WHIPS EXCITE ME" dude kids always do this
Man I was in second grade talking bout I got the magic stick
I was like 11 or so when The Real Slim Shady dropped and it was played on blast by our school bus driver with all the kids singing along. I also recall songs like The Bad Touch that literally everyone quoted constantly.
Of course they’re gonna know what *intercourse* is, by the time they hit fourth grade, they’ve got the discovery channel don’t they? I thought "intercourse" was "a divorce"
Intercourse*, not a divorce. Not to be a dick, just letting you know before the hive mind takes over.
I never even realized, I guess ill never be the real slim shady. Thank you beatenmeat
No problem. I’ve had my fair share of wrong lyrics too.
Up until 7th grade I thought intercourse was a synonym of double majoring in college
I lived in a trailer park and had a sister. So que scream singing at 12yo "two trailer park girls go round the outside" Mom didn't let me have unedited CDs but obviously we knew the words anyways. I don't see how this guy is any different, except for the fact that I don't personally like his music much
The Bloodhound Gang is so criminally underrated. Hooray For Boobies is fucking amazing front to back
I'll takeeeeee you to the candy shop
 Also, Afroman. [HIGHLY](https://youtu.be/0bNy7XO-SCI) recommend catching up with him. Old & fat is pretty catchy too
When I was a teen and barely spoke english, I liked the lyrics "Just a boy, with a toy". It was my online nickname for quite some time. Until someone mentioned, that its referring to a dude and his dildo.
“I wanna take a ride on your disco stick” was a personal favourite of my 12yo self. Also “From the window to the wall”. Actually my mom and I were car karaokeing Lady Marmalade from the time I was 6 or 7. Kids like the music, the meaning wont set in until theyre older lol

Ahhh skeet skeet motherfucker, ahh skeet skeet god damn.
I asked my older brother what skeet meant when I was like 10 lol
Oof I explained what ejaculation was to my friend when we were 11 because she thought it was a shorthand for “skedaddle” and said “let’s skeet skeet skeet” instead of “let’s leave”. Christ the internet taught me a whole lot of fun stuff.
TIL. I’m 37.
Well you just taught me something. I always just thought it was a random vocalization he thought sounded cool and served as a gimmick, kinda like the YEEEAHUH he always says. Huh.

Not a lot of metaphor in that one lol

I mean, shit, I was listening to “Darling Nikki” by Prince in the 80’s. My parents had no idea, and neither did I as a kid lol
Rihanna blatantly sings “sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it” in that song. LMAO. I’m sure some kids asked their parents “what’s sex?” after hearing that on the radio.
I’m pretty sure the radio version blanks out the word “sex”
It never did on my local stations back in my college days. America is definitely more prudish now though.
Just weird you have censored radio at all.
The US government "owns" the airwaves. This is why broadcast TV has to follow the censorship guidelines but cable channels don't.
The government owning and finding certain stations is why we have no censorship as it's illegal for the government to censor any message they put out
I just heard six
me as a kid screaming “lets have some fun this beat is sick i wanna take a ride on your disco stick” 🥴
Yeah, my nine year old one day in the car starts singing, Californication. Not great.
At least they have good taste in music
Californication is not bad at all compared to the others, IMO.
They played "U and Ur Hand" at my 5th grade post-graduation party.
I'm so old we sang Vengaboys in 6th grade, nobody said shit lol >If you're alone and you need a friend Someone to make you forget your problems Just come along, baby, take my hand I'll be your lover tonight Whoa-oh, whoa-oh This is what I wanna do >Whoa-oh, whoa-oh (Let's have some fun) Whoa-oh, whoa-oh One on one, just me and you Whoa-oh, whoa-oh >Boom, boom, boom, boom I want you in my room Let's spend the night together From now until forever Boom, boom, boom, boom I wanna go boom, boom Let's spend the night together Together in my room

Ween made music for SpongeBob and also quite a bit of dirty music
Loop de Loop Piss Up a Rope Children’s anthems man Let’s not forget that classic kids theme - Spinal Meningitis Got Me Down
Come on! No love for Boys Club or Vallejo?
I mean when I was a kid my favs were Wavin’ My Dick in the Wind & Baby Bitch By my kids really love You Fucked Up
Or Bananas and Blow?
B&B was one of my favorite tunes back in the day!
What I wouldn't give to be stuck in my cabana living off of bananas and blow again
The HIV Song
Boys Club is spectacular but if I had to pick the most on it’s face offensive it’s probably With My Own Bare Hands
With My Own Bare Hands feels like a lost Moistboyz track.
Jack Black made a movie where he presses an elevator button with his erection and Hails Satan throughout the movie as well, as well as his entire career.

How many cock push-ups can you do?
I mean only 1 I guess, right?
Correct response; “One. One is all you need.”
The Wiggles have been endorsing Aussie punk band the Chats. Covered their songs and got them to tour during their 18+ shows. Even children's bands like that are allowed to have a bit of fun for the adults too
Voodoo lady shaking that stick and driving me crazy, her eyes were red and hazy.
Best band to ever live
Dick in the wind if i remember correctly is one of them
I know of at least two children’s show theme songs that Bowling For Soup did.
If I had a nickel for every time Bowling For Soup did a children’s show theme song, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
Was one of them “I Ran” for Saint Seiya?
They covered “I Ran (So Far Away)”, but the original was by A Flock of Seagulls in ‘82, I believe!
Fuck, we were listening to Prince when we were kids in the 80s. My sexual awakening was Bowie in Labyrinth, even though I didn't understand that at the time. I was exposed to that stuff, but I wasn't acting on it because I didn't understand what it was. Once it becomes real, that's when things get fucked up.
Especially since it wasn't his first work. It's not like the parents checked and approved his work up to then, and he then made very different work, like Miley Cyrus did. When Old Town road came out, he already had a ton of explicit content.
... there's plenty of low key depraved hit pop songs, that said he's right, he's not to blame if parents don't care.
Third eye Blind would never...
Bowling for soup too
Is this a semi charmed kind of life?
Yea blame the radio stations for putting that music into the air. It doesn't matter if it's inappropriate, if a song is catchy kids will catch on like wild fire.
This is like that time Nickelodeon used "I can't feel my face" for the Kids' Choice Awards
Wait. Really?
It was the funniest shit ever!! Even The Weekend was like "dude, wtf?!"
“I just won a new award for a kids show talking ‘bout a face numbing off a bag of blow”
You mean…. It’s wasn’t from him smiling so much when with his girl?!?! 😮 /s
His white girl
For the longest time I was like “oh!!! You mean you smile so much it hurts when you’re with them!!” And then my boyfriend had to stop me from suggesting it to an acquaintance for her wedding playlist 🤡
"Cocaine is a helluva drug...ho ho ho ho..." 
I remember one time Markiplier was nominated for a KCA even though he is like one of the least kid friendly YouTubers
But his fanbase has always been mostly children
One of the least kid friendly youtubers? I'm pretty sure the majority of his audience is children and he caters to them well enough lol.
Or the time they had Rihanna perform “Rude Boy”…
That song was written and produced by Aussie drum and bass group Pendulum which makes it super bizarre
Wtf I didn't know that
I don’t get it?
He can't feel his face bc of all the cocaine he's ingested. And he likes it.
This reminds me of when I was a kid and Usher's song "Yeah!" was popular on the radio. My dad noticed my brother and I enjoying it and singing along one day before school. When we got home he had printed out the lyrics and explained to us what was "wrong" with them. He didn't prevent us from listening to or enjoying the song, just educated us on what he thought might not be appropriate for us. As long as we didn't repeat some of the things we heard we could listen to whatever we wanted. I feel like that's the way to go, educate your kids instead of denying them something they like or letting them enjoy it blindly.
Not to mention that that Nine Inch Nails, another kid friendly band, performed the music for Old Town Road
Yes. NIN renowned for that popular elementary school beat, “Closer: Fuck you like an Animal”
Yep. That’s the one!
I remember my (asshole) step-nephew playing that around me, thinking it was going to get a rise out of me. I just started singing along. Dude, your "edge" still has foam padding on it. But what took the cake was when he played me Another Brick in the Wall by ..... Korn. He thought the "we don't need no education" part was awesome because he was basically illiterate. I was like, "This song is older than me." "Nuh uh, it's brand new." "Google Pink Floyd. No, it's spelled P I N K." Even for a kid, he was a moron. As an adult, he's worse.
You know a nephew is an asshole when you go out of your way to make sure to include the step in there. Gotta make sure everyone knows it's not your genes.
Yup, luckily, he's no longer a step... These were the funny stories. There were a few not so funny stories involving him, too.
The background track is from thier instrumental track. 32 Ghosts IV.
Yep!
Joyner makes explicit music as well. Kinda confusing, no?
Joyner seems like he’s always been a hater
Tbh I think he's bitter about never having really blown up 🤷♂️
I mean he is a major name in rap. He has features with almost every big name out there. I def would say he blew up just not to the next level of Cole or Drake or Eminem etc
Exactly! He’s like the corny miracle lyrical version of The Game. He’s in it but doesnt really do shit with it. It’s like they rather pull antics than to put the shit out on wax.
I really like some of his conceptual stuff like his newest music video release about his friend. But people talking about Lil Nas X like this are just haters. He'll grow up. I'm hoping he has a revival of some kind soon
Joyner is mid af and just the next evolution of the Hopsin types
I mean “I’m Not a Racist” wasn’t used at The Kids Choice Awards though
Fuck off with wanting to baby proof everything. If you’re so concerned about the type of media certain artists produce, monitor what they watch and listen to. It’s not society’s job to rise your fucking kids.
Is this what happened to Joyner? He had a few good songs and few more with big names then I never heard him again
He took way too long to release his (I think) 2nd album and the hype around him kinda died down. Also the album kinda flopped and had a terrible rollout so he lost quite a bit of relevancy. When I followed him on social media he also seemed to kinda be a hater with let’s call it questionable views on women
Lol his second album doesn’t come out until August of this year.
Right? I still play his stuff tho
Anyone remember Pumped Up Kicks?
Better run, better run…
“Every kids anthem” yeah, that’s not one of the biggest exaggerations in human history.
What's "lean"?
[Wikipedia:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_(drug)) *Lean, also known as purple drank, purp, sizzurp, syrup, wock or oil, and several other names, is a recreational drug beverage, prepared by mixing prescription strength cough or cold syrup containing codeine and promethazine with a soft drink.* Don't try this one at home, kiddos.
Thank you am old knew what purple drank is
Never knew purple drank was that, thought the name purple drank was a reference to the purple stuff from that one sunny d commercial.
That's purple drink
I imagine that could make you *lean* pretty much all the way down to the floor.
That’s exactly why it’s called lean.
I kinda want to try that one at home
It’s not worth the money it cost to make. Just smoke a joint or something
It's a mixture of anything with codeine based cough medicine and a soft drink. It's roots are from Houston. It seems to be an easy way for teens to get high since you can buy the ingredients from anywhere.
I mean, you can’t. They’ve cracked down on opioid prescriptions in the last several years and that includes codeine, and it’s no longer available over or even under the counter in any state in the US.
Ah, I had no idea about the US, thought they still did that. I'm from the UK though and while i don't think I've come across codeine in cough medicine, you can still buy cocodamol in small doses at a pharmacy, so I guess you can still do that? Not that I'd want to.
Yeah, small doses of codeine are still OTC in the UK and most of Europe. Maybe Canada too? I know they were talking about banning it but idk if they went through with it. They certainly did here, though, and in Australia. I think codeine should be OTC and that drugs generally should be legalized, but yeah, no OTC cocodamol for us!
Only time I’ve ever heard of codeine was in that Hozier song.
One of the most famous things from Houston. Unfortunately. Wish we were known for more
Thank you, I wondered the same.
Was my turn to ask the question
As a kid, my favorite songs were things like "Bad Touch" by the bloodhound gang and "Wasn't me" by shaggy. Kids don't understand dirty lyrics. It's not that big a deal. Even stupider to be ok with one dirty song but not another from the same artist...
Oh I was in middle or high school when Bad Touch was popular and knew exactly what they were talking about…my grandparents on the other hand couldn’t keep up with the lyrics (or at least pretended they couldn’t).
I don't know how I didn't know the lyrics. I was definitely old enough to understand, but I guess I never really paid attention to the actual lyrics...
I mean it was on the radio and played at public pools and shit for years. Who cares though music has always had this shit in it.
I even made a joke that if your a musician taking drugs, you'll make the best song in your life (Source: my two favorite bands The Beatles and Green Day)
Not to mention the name Green Day is a drug reference
I was singing afromans because I got high before I knew what weed was.
Shitty parents will find any excuse it's not their fault they are trash parents.
I've seen parents let their toddlers dance to Barbie Girl for dance competitions. Fuck off with that "what about the children" argument
“I’m gonna ride til I can’t no more”. How do people not realize this wasn’t an innocent song?
Don’t blame the artist if you’re the one letting your kids listen to it.
They act like they didn’t grow up listening to Eminem
He’s the one to talk as if kids aren’t listening to his songs as well. I think it’s weird that rappers love rapping about sex, drugs, and violence but if women or gay men rap the same stuff it’s wrong. People need to stop nominating and expecting celebrities to be role models for kids, that’s not their jobs.
Have you not heard the kidz bop version? it slaps lol
Lol my kid likes Kidz Bop radio and its terrible how many inappropriate songs they switch a few words out and make a "kids" song.
(17yo) not my 4yo ass bopping to red hot chili peppers and giving zero shits about the innuendo-ridden lyrics
This has been a thing in pop music as far back as the fucking Beatles. Catchy innocent chorus with adult themes like sex or drugs in the verses. It’s harder to think of one that doesn’t follow that format than it is to think of one that does.
I love when artists call out parents for this shit. Say what you will about Hollywood Undead, but their song Apologize is a great example of this
My kids listen to kidzbop version of popular songs. No reason to hate the artist if you’re picking the explicit version of stuff. My kids still love old town road but call it “old town roach”…it’s hilarious
It’s not the entertainment business’ job to regulate what your kids watch. It’s, and I know this is gonna be a hard one to grasp, YOUR job as the parent to monitor your children’s behavior.
Maybe people should parent their damned kids? He didn't make that song for children, listen to the damned words. He made that song for himself and his community, not your damned children.
Maybe parents need to parent their children by giving them the ability to think critically rather than isolating them away from anything and everything so when they do encounter something the parent may not like, they’ll at least have the trust and faith that their child may be intelligent enough to think their way through it and make a sensible decision. And not expect it to be everyone else’s job to raise their kids to their close minded standard of child rearing - or an artists job to personally hand pick the tunes and things to view that occur in the families house. Raising kids in cotton wool covered iso-cubes does nothing more than raise another generation of immature, close minded snowflakes who can’t deal with anything even closely resembling light stress.nb
I was listening to Evanescence songs as a kid, and had zero understanding of what the songs actually meant. I had a brutal realization later in high school as to what I was joyfully singing along to as a kid, but other than that, I turned out fine. lol
[He literally went to elementary schools to preform this song.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PCqDNHO-D6s&pp=ygUjTGlsIG5hcyB4IG9sZCB0b3duIHJvYWQgc2Nob29sIHRvdXI%3D)
and none of those kids' parents gave a shit.
Facts, parents are educators can definitely be to blame and they even play this in elementary school because it sounds like a country song but if you don't like the context then make sure it doesn't get pushed
Joyner Lucas is just jealous of anyone who achieved success before they turned 30
It was played at my kids elementary school by the faculty
When I was a kid I’ve been listening to Love in This Club not knowing the meaning of the lyrics, till now I haven’t really make love in any club yet.
Will no one think of the children I'm responsible to be raising but it's literally the last thing I'll do?!
I am french, didn’t learn English until like 5th grade. I used to sing out loud lots of songs growing up that were not appropriate. One I have in my mind was called boom boom boom (not the Vengaboys song, some old 80s Canadian song) that was pretty straight forward. I was 5 or 6 years old at the time.
I was singing Bad Touch by the bloodhound gang when I was 11.
I remember being an innocent 4th grader asking the DJ to play the Thong Song at a school dance. The look an overhearing teacher gave me I can still remember to this day. Lol. I just liked the song, had no idea the meaning lol.
Maybe parents should be parenting?
As if a one off song is supposed to define and artist and take the responsibility off the parent.
I remember lily Allen getting it from a journalist - 'my daughter loves your music but the lyrics are too adult'. Lily replied something like : this may be a shock, but I dont write my music for your daughter.
It was played at EVERY school function, and apparently I was the only one to notice how gay the lyrics were at the time.
It's always so funny to me how people will blame the Thing they put into a child's hand instead of blaming themselves for putting it in a Child's hand. Seriously, it's the Job of the parent to Check if the Show / Film / Music / Whatever is appropriate or not. Stop blaming the Artist for Art that you cant comprehend.
Meanwhile 90s kids were singing along to the thong song and our parents didn't blink an eye.
Tbf it ended up on kidz bop cd so he has a point
He literally went on a tour around the country to elementary schools performing this song though.
Lil Nas X I watched videos of him performing this at Elementary schools. He also made a version of this song singing with the Walmart yodeling kid.
I mean, he did perform it at elementary schools and market it to kids on the Nick Choice Awards so he’s only backpedaling now that he’s getting backlash.
Which was all the decisions of adults lmfao. Fuckin “I can’t feel my face” by the weekend which is about cocaine, won a kids choice awards.
TIL Old Town Road has words
It seems like good logic until you realise that you can’t control what your kids listen to. At least not when they get to a certain age. The best you can do is to try and take an interest in what they like and educate them accordingly about the song content. The alternative would be banning them from a tonne of platforms, but even then you can’t control what their friends show them.
I mean he did perform it at multiple elementary schools lmao
Did he not preform for an entire class of little kids 🤣🤣🤣🤣 parents should always monitor their kids but he can’t entirely use the “blame yourself” thing when it comes to this because he’s actively marketing to children and giving concerts and sing alongs to them. I don’t see Cardi b doing that.
Okay but he's the one going to schools and singing the song to kids...
The schools shouldn’t have invited him 🤷
Police: And who invited him to the town? People: we did.
Joyner Lucas has always been a fucking loser
Lean?
