Opinions on LP's swearing in songs

Yup. In fact, I think it's ridiculous that Mike's the rapper in this band and he cursed on like 3-4 tracks.

 

My signature speaks my opinion

 

Lazy songwriting in my opinion.

 

Really? I still don't get why people think this way. I know, opinions and all, but these kinds of words can be used to effectively display emotion. I'm not saying people have to like swearing in music, but to say it's lazy is a bit far-fetched.

 

I agree. It's one thing to be like *insert generic pussy and weed rapper here* and say swear words just to fill space in the song. Linkin Park doesn't swear that much (just enough to get PAs on two of their albums) and when they do it seems that they do it out of emotion. In the end it's their choice if they wanna cuss, though I do remember in their early days they had an anti cussing stance and even self censored high voltage (it said shit 3 times, and they blanked all of them), so I wonder what made them change their mind.

 

Its good just as long as its not about getting "Money" and fuc*ing "B*tches"
and degrading women. And being a pimp lol

 

Says the person active on a Kanye West forum.

I fucking love Kanye, but c'mon. You can't get much lazier.

 

My signature agrees with you.

 

He has become lazy in his song writing, I agree.

I rarely even talk about Kanye on KTT.

 

LP can write whatever they want, lyrically. As long they continue to have lots of musicianship.

 

3-4? Don't think so. Let's count.

If "bitch" and "crap" counts:

...

Fuck me, I don't have the will to do this. Anyway, pretty sure he does it on more than 3-4 tracks.

 

Bleed It Out
When They Come For Me
Blackout
Given Up
Keys To The Kingdom
All For Nothing
Hands Held High?

well maybe some more...

 

Mike's rapping is more fluid before they started pasting in curse words. In some songs it works (ie KTTK) but overall, it doesn't work for them honestly...

 

We're talking about Mike, so some of those don't count.

 

well , my failure. sry

 

I agree. I don't think it is lazy song writing at all, it can really add emotion in certain situations.

 

There, you end up with 5.

 

Sounded forced in stuff like Where'd You Go and Hands Held High and such, but pretty fluent overall.

 

I don't care. Enough hearing the curse words from my rl brother. So what's the difference between hearing it from my LP bros?
