Can you think of any singer that cusses a lot. A real nasty mouth.

By ~medusa~ (68.79.113.169) on Thursday, March 25, 2004 - 10:48 pm:

Gene McDaniels~Gotta Make It Real Compared to What? (G*d D****t)
D'Angelo~~S**T, D*m, M****r F****r
Marvin Sease~~~Candy Licker
The above Artists don't really curse a lot, but they do say bad words in the songs I named.

Back in the day, a certain "wicked" artist was known to have a mouth so foul, that it could singe the hair under your armpits.

Just about every Gangster rapper of the 80s & 90s. Also Luke, Biggie, Tupac, Easy-E, AMG, etc, etc, etc.

Prince's "You Sexy M-----F----r".

Medusa...I love Marvin Sease's "Candy Licker". It's the perfect song to ballroom off of and those little guitar licks on that track are killin'. You're right, there's not a lot of cussin' in there, but ol' Marv leaves no doubt as to what he has in mind. It's dedinitely not meant for Top 40 radio play, but it's one of my favorite club songs of all time.

Nina Simone did an opera song with only two words throughout the song..."f u", totally melodic...

I'm not necessarily limiting the question to recordings. I'm thinking of interviews, everyday speech.

I believe Swamp Dogg and Andre Williams use spicy language to good effect.

Millie Jackson did "F U Symphony" or something like that? If my memory serves me correctly today?

Millie Jackson has had a real nasty mouth in her live shows.
S.S.

Any 'rapper' and 'rapper styled singer' feels the way to communicate verbally through life is to quote their transgressions and idiosyncrancies through the art of the venacular 'cussing'...it has gotten so this is normal language for that generation...

Television shows have gotten loose too...I cant watch a program (not on cable) that someone does not say a curse word on prime time t.v. and childrens programs and animation now is 'off the hook' too with the lower level cursing saying: 'hell, damn, 'friggin' for 'f---k--'...it is a little disturbing that this has become the norm for grade school children or any age really. They are taught that this is the norm and acceptable by 'Hollywood' as well...If I had used those lower level venacular way of speaking when I was younger, I would have met with a orthodontist immediately...

I've never been to a Millie Jackson Concert, but I've heard that she can get kinda outta order with her tongue. I once heard that if she's performing and you're sitting up close with your Man,(especially if he's handsome and well dressed), she will put you on front street and will threatend to take him from your side, in front of the whole audience...if it's a lie, it was told to me, not by me.
Can anyone here comment on any of her Shows?
I still like some of her songs.

By Reese (12.15.168.217) on Friday, March 26, 2004 - 03:00 pm:

Medusa,

I've seen Millie Jackson in concert three times. And it is true, she is a handful. But she's toned down some in recent years. Her raps aren't as sharp or as funny, at least not to me. She's gone back to putting more emphasis on the singing, which is fine. But after I attended her last concert, I actually wished she had talked more. :-)

Two instances stick out in my mind. One was when Millie was performing her then-current single SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL. After squatting down in front a male in the first row, Millie asked the guy if he wanted to "feel it." Of course, he was totally embarrassed. After that, Millie came down into the audience and started feeling the private parts of some of the men in the audience.

Another time my aunt and I attended a show. Millie was in the middle of one of her monologues, and she saw us. She assumed that we were a couple,i.e. young man,older woman. She made a remark about my aunt that she still gets insulted by. In all honesty, it wasn't that bad. And if had been said to anyone else, my aunt would have laughed, as did I.

Thanx Reese,
Now I'm glad I've never attended a Millie Jackson Concert...

Two of my favorite shows that y'all need 2 check out where the sketches go "waaayyy ouuutt" of league when it comes 2 language: MAD TV and The Dave Chappelle Show. It's funny tv, alot better that the boring "Friends" or the wanna be funny "My Wife And Kids".

Im just counting the days until the big "lightening bolt" comes crashing thru the clouds to end all this nonsense!!
The sooner the better.

I hate to call out names but it's not like he did it in private and I'm coming back with some stuff;

Jay Black, from Jay & The Americans has a filthy mouth. He cusses quite a bit on stage, usually when he's "trying" to tell a tasteless joke.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit,

if you want to hear Millie Jackson ass cuss, just play her muthafukin tape. That woman has a mouth on her. I'm glad that I don't say things like.

By Juicefree20 (141.149.41.20) on Friday, March 26, 2004 - 11:16 pm:

The thing about Millie is that even though she curses, it fits perfectly & is very funny. Most often, she hits the nail on the head & says what most women would like to say. If you're a half-steppin' brother, it would be wise to avoid Ms Jackson. As a man, I like Millie, always have & I like her stuff, right up to the 90s tremendously. She's like Richard Pryor. Richard cussed up a storm & most of us understood just where he was coming from, didn't we? And for the most part, we loved him, didn't we.

With Millie, what you see is what you get. Like she said, when she tried to play it straight, people didn't buy her music. People wanted Millie to give them Millie & that's what she does. I don't know about the crotch grabbing, that's a bit much. Other than that, I know exactly what to expect when I buy Millie & so does everyone else.

Aah, Blowfly is one of my all-time favorites. His Blowfly Disco is a classic, I love him.
