Missouri Stadiums Will Have No More Of This Rap Music

We love our readers, especially when they send us links to stories featuring a “clueless old white guy mocking a simple request by a pro football player to hear some more current songs at the stadium…I’ll copy and paste below in case the St. Louis Post-Dispatch hires an editor before you click the link.” Hey, looks like the Post-Dispatch declined to do so.

Rams running back Steven Jackson pointed out this glaring deficiency to reporters after Sunday’s loss [to the Seahawks]. Jackson asked the scribes to petition the stadium-operation types to play more lively music.

Of course, that’s what is missing–hip-hop!

How can the Rams expect to turn things around without a change in music application? What are these stadium people thinking, not playing more hip-hop with a predominantly middle-aged audience in the stands? How can these Souljas Boys be expected to perform when the commercial interludes aren’t jumping, yo?

The road to the Super Bowl starts with a clef, a five-line staff, and a bleeped-out rhyme.

Wow, between that, the mocking/ironic use of the word “dawg” in the headline, and calling Akon “Akron,” looks like it’s Dan O’Neill for the cornball win today.

Lil Hip-Hop Would Be Music To Jax’s Ears, Dawg [Post-Dispatch; HT: Josh Katz]
