Am I the only one who thinks these rappers are morons?

(102,379 posts)Most of his guests-- who are made to look clueless-- are gracious enough to laugh it off, but it gets a little old, especially when they are there to talk the day's political news relative to their expertise. It is too frequently cringe-worthy and embarrassing. I'm not slamming rap music or rappers, but I watch the show for the legal and political commentary.

Nothing against comedians, or spicing up a show to bring in more viewers (to a point), but neither the rappers nor the comedian seemed to fit with the theme of the show.

(40,224 posts)I just think it is self-indulgent for him to bring on musicians.I wonder how many people find this interesting. I actually think Ari is starstruck.

Everyone I know now is sick of his rapper schtick. Turn him off. I was on the phone so missed it.

I think there are some big stories that could be a better use of his air time.

(5,042 posts)A guy like GZA would be fantastic on the show. Maybe he's had him on, I don't know.
But Ari seems to be doing it to show how cool he is, and he brings on a lot of guys who are just happy to be on TV.

(23,002 posts)Didn't he say in the last few days he's a musician himself? Thought i caught that in a slight reference.
We do need the news, but, we are all liberal thinkers here. Big brains, open minds, and indulgent of each others humanity.
not a big deal-io (see what I did there?)

(18,837 posts)I'm not a fan of rap...to each his own, I don't want to make a "value judgement" and offend anyone else's tastes. It's just not my thing. So while Ari has a great deal of fun with it...it's his show, so more power to him...I tend to lean more toward the 9 to midnight hour on MSNBC.

I love old movies too, but everything on TCM doesn't interest me.
So I change the channel.
Easy enough to do.
