5. Ari Melber's penchant of quoting rap and hiphop

... well OK we can feel bad for him because his Dad was a tyrant.

Now Ari is rich and famous, and he can listen to rap and hiphop all day long if he wants to. But that doesn't mean he should quote these stupid lyrics to his TV audience. We (most of us) don't love that music. And even if we did love it, we still wouldn't want to hear the lyrics spoken by Ari, who is NOT a hiphop artist.

My favorite form of music is old, obscure German Volkslieder, but I'd be foolish to start quoting those lyrics to you or anyone else. Obviously you have no interest in 200-year-old songs from another country. I respect that, so why doesn't Ari?

I do like the guy and I frequently watch his show. But the rap lyrics are really getting on my nerves.

Yes people are different. But there are many similarities. LiberalFighter Mar 27 #1
