Why is it that nobody asks if black rappers advocating violence against whites ask if they are "racist".

Which song are you talking about?

I think I found it. It's a reggae song, not rap.

I'm only going to see it if Leslie Jones is cast Axel and Kate McKinnon plays Billy.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis? Another Beverly Hills Cop movie? When did that happen?

EDIT: So apparently there was a new BHC movie that was supposed to come out this past March. Looks like it might be awhile.

Nah, Eddie can still do it, as long as he plays multiple characters and at least 2 of them are in fat suits. *Boom* Comedy.

Don't hold your breath. Beverly Hills Cop 4 has been tied up up in Development Hell for about a dozen years at least.

The internet makes following movies so weird. I'm not following BHC4 and don't care either way, but it's weird how we all know every step of the way now. Sometimes I miss just finding out a movie/sequel exists from a trip to the video store or from a coming attractions trailer on a VHS rental.

Looks like there was supposed to be a BHC tv show too that got shelved. Who knew that franchise was so cursed?

I like Ted Nugent's music. Been a fan long before I knew anything about politics. I was literally a kid in grade school when I first heard and loved his music.

I've met Nugent 3x in my life. One time I spent the day with him and his band/crew. He was very cordial to me and I have nothing negative to say about those meetings whatsoever. He signed every scrap of paper my friends and I threw at him. He chatted with us about music, life, food, etc. He was extremely kind to my son both times he got to meet Ted. I've also met his wife Shemane once. She is a beautiful and very sweet woman. I read her book "Married to a Rock Star". It was an entertaining read. I also briefly met his son Rocco, who was also very cordial.

I do not agree with all his politics, but I cannot say I disagree with all of it either. However, I don't spend any significant amount of time really listening to his political or social ideals. I'd rather listen to his music, which I do often. Because I enjoy his music I have been called a "child molester", "a hate monger" and "a pedophile" on social media from people who vehemently dislike the man. That I find far more offensive than Ted's big mouth.

Who listens to musicians based on their political views anyway? If that was the case I would never listen to another Rage Against the Machine song again.Lol!

More people then you'd think, I certainly would never want to listen to any band that was signed to Resistance Records(a label whose bands all promoted Neo-Nazi views)

To be fair, with the exception of "Stand", i've never seen any of Nugent's songs express any real political views (i guess you could argue his songs about Native Americans). Heck, on "Shut Up and Jam" he even sings "enough of that Political stuff".

Yea, I'm certainly no Ted expert, but from the stuff I know, his songs never really had much of a political slant to them. He saves all that stuff for his interviews and social media.

I haven't looked too deep into the context of 'Wang Dang Sweet Poontang' though. There could be some right-wing, conservative messages in there.

I'm no Ted expert either but he does take some jabs at liberals in his tune Kiss My Ass but that's about the only extent that I know of. And I only know that because I saw him perform it live.

I don't care for his music generally, but I'm gonna have to check that song out. Being lefty pinko scum myself, I am intrigued.

That song is pretty dated. Most of the people he is telling to "kiss my ass" are long gone. Of course I'm sure he could update the song with all new names easy enough.

I hate politics.

I think it's a decent enough song. The politics don't bother me.

Just listened to it on Spotify. Weird, I actually kinda like the sound of that song. I'm assuming it came out in the early to mid 90s? Gonna look it up real quick....sweet, I was right. 1995.

Janet Reno, IRS, Jesse Jackson, gangbangers, Crips and Bloods, Courtney Love (he says something about her hole--classy as ever, that Ted)....they all feel the wrath of the Nuge. Ha.

He should said: "Get in the ring mother f*cker, I'll kick you bitchy little ass."

I listened to the song again and caught his reference of "Mr. Hillary". It's come back full circle. Seems like Trump should be using this tune on his campaign.

At the very least, Trump should be hiring Ted as a speech writer. Him and Billy Milano.

Meh! I still listen to Burzum and Varg makes Ted look like Ralph Nader

I like Teds music..Could care less about his politics (gotta say though his views are real popular among alot of folks here in Oklahoma and down in Texas where I come from originally)...I like all the classic albums and unlike alot of folks I really liked his 80s albums...Little Miss Dangerous, Nugent and Penetrator are some albums that see regular play on my turntable...(S/T first album and Double Live Gonzo are my absolute favorites however)

I think his politics, but more his comments about women, blacks, and anyone who disagrees with his caveman point of view is what gets him in hot water and also his idiotic comments takes focus away from his music and his place in metal/hard rock history.

He could be making a word play since her band was/is named "Hole"
