Re: Ex-Prodigy disses Beastie Boys
we did go to him in private and ask him if he wouldn't mind skipping that track in their set because it promoted violence against women.
basically he said that he felt that they were somehow subverting or changing the meaning of the words "smack my bitch up" in their song. it doesn't sound like that to me. anyway, they decided to take it to the stage, make it public. so during their set that night they said something like "the beastie boys told us not to play this song, but nobody tells us what to do..." and then played the song. shortly after that a girl told me that she had been abused by her boyfriend and that song had always made her cringe. she thanked us for asking them not to play it. so i have no regrets about it, and have never apologized to them. i think what we did was right. how is anyone going to know that their words are destructive if no one tells them? |

Re: Ex-Prodigy disses Beastie Boys
I think I'm really good at reading between the lines and I don't see that song as anything but literal. Maybe they think they turned it on its head by making the video feature girl-on-girl violence, but I don't see that at all. I can take a joke but I draw the line at violence against women and children. Anyways, thanks for taking a stand and they only made you look good by telling the public about your private request.

Also, out of interest, if they hadn't mentioned it on stage would you have brought it?

Keep doing what you're doing Yauch. PS: I got a full refund for my Oshega tickets (both nights). I was so sad to hear you couldn't make it, and my ride was bummed out and wouldn't drive me to Montreal. I hope your doing well man. That email this morning brought a huge smile to my face. You'll be fine man. Can't wait to hear the new album. I'll see you righteous dudes next time you're in Toronto. Last year at the Hummingbird Centre was fucking dope (ACC was good too but Hummingbird fucking killed it). Thanks for convincing Adam and Mike to play those last few extra punk tracks at the end of the set dude. You rock. I'll never forget that show. Stay classy. Kick cancers ass. Peace

Re: Ex-Prodigy disses Beastie Boys
I didn't read all the post and I don't want to take a side. I just looked up the line "smack my bitch up" in the world's best online-dictionary and found this article about it:
"It is a phrase from the greater london area and can be read only as a whole. The single words mean: smack = to inject heroin bitch = the upper arm vein" I am really not sure if the Prodigy really meant that. And I hated the video straight away, because I hate videos with puking people and I never really likes the Prodigy anyway. But I like the song. Good day |
