Minor to Moderate Snow Tues Night (2/11)/Weds Morning, especially south of 80 (all snow)

RU848789
The risk of a major bust low just went down as the HRRR model, which was way less snowy than the other models, finally moved significantly further north with the the 1” line now being from about New Hope to Somerville to NYC, which is still a bit on the low side of the model suite, but it was as far south as a Wilmington to Pt. Pleasant line.

Not everyone, I know a TON of people who can’t stand Taylor’s music. I mean shoot just look at this board whenever she’s on tv!

I personally would be bored to tears watching her parade around shouting ‘She wears short skirts, I wear T shirts!’

Give me Kendrick every day of the week and twice on Sunday before I have to sit through a Taylor show.

Again man, it’s ok if you personally don’t like rap, but don’t sit here and act like it’s not the most popular form of music modern day in America.

People tuned in just for Kendrick, the only people who would be excited for Bon Jovi were tuning in anyway

Hi! I’m in my 40s& I love 90s rap.
Nas
Dr Dre
Easy E
NWA
Wu-Tang
Cypress Hill
Snoop
To name a few…
Today’s rap is very different than it once was.
No one can deny that.

Maybe more people would have enjoyed the halftime if they brought TS out to crip walk instead of Serena. 🤣🤣

You continue to accuse me of things i never said and you’re full of mis-truths and arrogance….extremely typical of someone who continuously attacks others for “knowing nothing”

The 2025 Grammy's had the lowest ratings in years despite the Lamar, Beyonce, Carpenter hype. If the Jay-X army loses ratings on free TV during Super Bowl week I can't see it helping at the SB itself much. People watch the SB mostly for the game.

I think a reason for preponderance of rap is the ease of creating it. Its easier and cheaper for labels to find some kid who plays no instrument to rhyme his way over a bass track. Most lyrics are about the same things with some word play and double entendres taken to mean deep intelligence. The boy bands that created earnings are suspiciously gone and girls are big on K-Pop music and TV series

I see new rock is mostly dead and to be honest I was never a rocker so I'm not upset. However the money in music biz is in tours and the top grossing tours all-time and for 2024 have no rappers. Truth is there isn't much money in rap itself and rappers use their image to sell overpriced stuff. They are just influencers really. Bruce, Taylor and Elton dont need to sell clothes and sunglasses to be rich - the music does it.

I watched Travis Scott and his voice is all electronic with a bunch of CG and animation - empty calories. I confess I do like listening to Tekashi 6ix9ine talk ("Only things I fear are God and the FBI") but the rap is same ole slurs and posturing with puppies and rainbows braids.

Despite Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter and Kendrick Lamar, ratings for the Grammys fall

Ratings for the Grammy Awards dipped from last year, despite the nail-biting tension of whether Beyoncé would win album of the year and a surprise appearance by The Weeknd.

So here’s the problem, you are labeling “Rap” as a catch-all for every artist in hip hop. Every form of music has its good and bad artists. As for TV ratings? They’re irrelevant today. No one under the age of 50 carries a cable subscription anymore, it’s all streams and YouTube.

Comparing Kendrick Lamar to Travis Scott and Takeshi69 is the equivolent of comparing Meg white to Neil Peart because they were both rock and roll drummers… RIDICULOUS

Buddy there’s FAR more money in becoming a rapper today than a rocker or anything else. Take a look at the bands on those highest grossing tours list. What rock band on their is less than 20 years old?

Again I’m sorry to tell you this, but you are officially OLD👍🏾

You’re a smart guy….Im curious what you think about rap culture?
Hippies of the last century were very aware a commune life style, peace and love didn’t translate to the business world and raising a family.
Yes, how do you think the denigration of women, the grooming, the clothing, the language of hip hop translates to life off the streets?
I’m speaking about both black and white kids.

I think you haven’t been paying attention to hip hop if you think that’s what it is modern day.

In the 90’ and 00’s at the height of the over sexualization of women yes there was plenty of that type of music (not just in rap btw, listen to the song ‘Cowboy’ by Kid rock one time and tell me how only rappers talk down on women (kid rock is not a rapper let the record show)

These days it’s shifted. To be honest the women are taking over hip hop in ways we’ve never seen before and it’s AWESOME! Artists like Megan the Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Doja Cat are bigger today than basically every male rapper.

I think that people who think they have a culture figured out when it’s clear you haven’t been paying attention lately Damages is all, and it’s what you are doing right now.

To address one thing though, don’t ever say that rap destroyed the legacy of mo town again. Buddy rock and roll is closer to mo town than rap. Rock and roll exists today because of the black man and mo town… you’re welcome😉👍🏾
