I’m actually not watching American Idol this go round. I watch it every blue moon whenever it does come on, but I’m not an avid viewer of it. I saw a headline on Yahoo that was something along the lines of the auditions not really being what they seem. So, I clicked on it. I was reading and came to this video of Larry Platt and the many versions. The message by “General” Larry Platt is quite clear and one I support; reason it’s on my blog. Funny thing is, when I was younger I used to sag (not with my pants way down, though). I recall adults saying, “Pull your pants up!” Yea, my friends back then and other youngsters thought it was cool. It was “fashion”. Terrible, I know. But now that I am a mature adult, I do see the foolishness of it – even more seeing a grown ass adult with “his pants way down”. Gold teeth, too? Turn off!

Larry’s message is nothing new. It’s talked about by many. I even recall back in the day when I attended a thing called church, this was brought up in Sunday’s sermons. However, Larry’s bit did remind me of a line or two Seconya mentioned in a piece she did back in 2009, called “Mr Mothafucka”. And furthermore, I was reminded of my own views regarding the subject and then I remembered how sermons spoke on it, too. One thing leads to the next when “looking back”. Anyway, in this video, Seconya starts off with, “Mr Mothafucka with his pants way down. Way down to the ground what am I to do but clown…” It’s a hot piece and has more than one message told by a beautiful and sexy woman. However, both videos have great messages.

Now a remix of “General” Larry Platt’s “Pants on the Ground” song bit was done by someone on YouTube; doesn’t keep with the same tempo and energy as General, though. Nevertheless, the music he did was nice enough for me to comment on it. I got this YouTube video from the Yahoo article I was saying above that I clicked on. I don’t visit YouTube much either on my own. If I end up on YouTube it is usually because of a headline that ended up linking a video on there or if a friend or family member recommend I see something. But me just going to YouTube on my own is very rare. So, I was drawn in by the music when I saw this. It has a really nice vibe. Have a listen.
