David Lee Roth: music critics like Elvis Costello because they look like Elvis Costello.
Are these the same critics who praise artists like N.W.A., Rolling Stones, Tupac Shakur, Eminem, & Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash has
Folsom County Blues where he talks about shooting a man "just to watch him die". The Stones has
Brown Sugar which is about making out with a Black slave woman. They also have
Some Girls. There's Fleetwood Mac and their 1970s soap opera songs about each other, they're also a band critics praise. Tupac has
Hit Em Up where he claims he slept with Biggie's wife Faith Evans and also puts down Lil Kim & Puff Daddy who were also in Biggie's camp. Eminem has songs trashing his mother and his ex-wife Kim. Yet Rolling Stone magazine called Eminem "The King of Hip Hop". Even Beyoncé, who is close to having more Grammys than anyone else, has
Nasty Girl with Destiny's Child. Which is ironic, considering how she dresses now, lol. N.W.A. had the highest grossing biopic before the Queen one passed it up and they have songs like
Automobile. Silk Sonic is a recent group that is praised and they have
Smokin' Out The Window. I think it's supposed to be a funny song, but still it's not really positive.
