Did they just bleep "It's hard out here for a pimp"?

[Nikki Stone 1]

Sounded that way.

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. They bleeped a word at the beginning....don't know which one!

[Zinfandel]

2. Conspiracy behind every door?

I mean "pimp" has been repeated about 60 times in the song...

[KyuzoGator]

3. They bleeped something but let "shit" slip through.

Prepare for Freeper HULK OUTRAGE!

[Nikki Stone 1]

5. LOL!!!!!!!

Can't wait. The FCC will get letters...

[Caoimhe]

4. ugh

this song is just annoying to me

how hard can it be for pimps when its their WHORES sucking, fucking, taking, receiving, giving, bending over and losing their dignity as humans.....

[Nikki Stone 1]

6. Oh yeah! Shout that out

...

[Caoimhe]

shouting that out just doesn't have the same magic to it does it?

[Nikki Stone 1]

8. DAMNED THING WON

Shit!

[Caoimhe]

10. AMAZING

i just don't get it.

[tridim]

13. Diebold? n/t

[Nikki Stone 1]

18. ROTFLMAO!

:D

[Nikki Stone 1]

20. Well, the Oscars are usually pretty safe in their choices

Can't you just wait when this group presents at next year's academy awards and the orchestra has to play."It's hard out there for a pimp"?

LOL!!

[buddysmellgood]

11. Wait just a minute. You're taking it out of context. The song clearly

qualifies with "when he's trying to get the money for the rent." :sarcasm:

[Cassandra]

7. Yes they did...

and it won anyway.

[WiseButAngrySara]

9. It just won...Must confess I didn't like it. ....n/t

[Caoimhe]

12. If you have a mother, daughter, neice, sister, grandma, female friend

it just doesn't do much to inspire us.

[derby378]

14. Word - represent Westside, muthafucka...

OK, I'll stop now.

:spank:

[buddysmellgood]

15. In fairness, I don't think the song specifies the gender of the pimp or

who is doing the ho-ing. It could, in fact, be a song about a woman who pimps for young boys. :sarcasm:

[demosincebirth]

17. Did you see the movie? They are not talking about "young boys."

[KyuzoGator]

16. Wow, shittiest "Best Song" in Oscars history.

And I'm a rap fan.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Agreed.

And I'm one of the biggest defenders of hip-hop on this site.

[bliss_eternal]

23. I'm still in shock that it won...

can't believe it. But it seemed to tickle the hell out of Jon Stewart! LOL!

[Nikki Stone 1]

28. And that makes the win worth it.

:D

[bliss_eternal]

31. I don't understand...

it's good that it shocked in general? Or do you just have it out for me? ;)

[Nikki Stone 1]

21. LOL!!

I'm just enjoyin this.

:D:D:D

[tarkus]

27. It is so ridiculously catchy though

I found myself singing it for at least a month after the movie, and I didn't think it was a particularly good song...

[FloridaPat]

30. Agreed here too. What a topic! What crappy noise disguised as music.

[NewJeffCT]

22. the captioning used "witches"

I would assume that either they sang "witch" instead of "bitch", or overlaid the B-word with the W-word in the captions...but I had the TV down low due to a sleeping infant.

That said, the captioning is often not edited. So, I will often see a movie on regular TV where something is bleeped or voiced over, but the captioning will still have fuck or shit or whatnot.

[Nikki Stone 1]

24. Then Wiccans should complain to the FCC

I'm serious!

[niyad]

29. I am wiccan, and I don't believe in censorship--but I WILL complain to the

oscar people and to whoever did the captions that I found the use of MY word offensive in the context of what I am reading about this song (not watching the oscars--even though I adore Jon--have no idea of any of the songs, etc.)

[davidinalameda]

25. I wasn't paying attention to the captions

I was busy posting on here!

[Nikki Stone 1]

26. LOL! We should all complain to the FCC

I'll pretend I'm Wiccan
