I agree that an explanation will be needed; as to when I don't really have an opinion as I am not a Canton Jones listener (not that I don't like him, just not familiar with his stuff at this point).<br /><br />However, I would disagree with a lot of the argument. Saying that if these lines cause one to imagine cuss words inserted says more about the heart of the listener doesn't make sense to me. I don't care how pure someone's heart and mind is, "don't let em________in da club..." naturally assumes a curse word. <br /><br />You may be right on the 'mystery' idea, where mystery is intriguing for the listeners; however, in this case there is not much mystery. Not sure what else you could insert in there. In other words, not a lot of options to fill in the blank with without some sort of explanation from the writer.<br /><br />Lecrae did actually put out a video explanation of his symbol, which I myself don't think was necessary, but perhaps helpful. There was nothing in the symbol to cause one to come to some of the conclusions that were drawn by a very few misguided individuals. However, in this case the majority of listeners are going to be wondering why Canton is bleeping out curse words (whether he is or not) simply because that is what it implies.<br /><br />Anyway, I should probably listen to the song before getting into this discussion, but those are just my thoughts off the cuff. Appreciate your perspective.Matt McMainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706257968143154806noreply@blogger.com
