If it takes a shock thread to promote good music, then I'm all for it…
Murs however, has a wife.
*EDIT* Yes, I watched the video. Yes Murs kissed another man. Yes, he still has a wife (as far as I'm aware). Yes, he was acting (as he stated, see below post for interview quote).
It's dope that Murs spoke out from a straight perspective about an issue that some people still have with the ? community. I think it's a nicely penned track; story-telling at its best. -
whats knew

There are other ways to shock than thisIf it takes a shock thread to promote good music, then I'm all for it…

Not saying he is ? but, just because he has a wife doesn't mean he's not ?
-
Damn I was ? when I saw this thread like ? man murs is ? too? cause im such a fan of dude. Good thing it was a shock thread.
-
@azad not a shock thread.Dude kissed that dude at the very end
-

-

-

I watched the video, it was dope.
Murs has already spoken out about it though:MURS wrote:"I don't know, man. On this record, I'm trying to bring the Hip Hop community up with me. I'm concerned about how the world feels about the homosexual community. Obviously, I'm concerned about Hip Hop - we've got to start [making changes], but I want that song to touch people outside of the community. I made "Dark Skinned White Girls," and a lot of people [responded thankfully with the recognition]. There's a lot of ? people who probably feel out of place or feel like no one cares, and I think it's good when it comes from someone [who is different]. "Okay. He's not just saying that 'cause he's ? too. This is a straight person sayin' it 'cause he's tryin' to understand me" - even if I didn't get it right. I don't know how the ? community is gonna react. I'm more worried about that, to tell you the truth, than how the Hip Hop community is gonna react. If I can make straight people be kinder to ? people, I guess that's a bi-product [of my intentions in writing the song]. (Hip Hop DX)
In other words, he was acting and is speaking about the issue at hand from the perspective of a straight person. He says he's anxious at how the ? community will react to it. But I think he's done it right. Dope metaphor at the end.
I think the video is well directed and the relationship shown between the two people is believable. It's a nice challenge to the community as a whole and I think that as a story telling track, it's better than most. -
smh....with all the ? wrong with the community, why do ? feel it so important to "speak out" and " deliver a message" with this ? ? .?? ? are pushy as hell with this agenda. ? who ever try to insinuate something wrong wit me for not "embracing" and "accepting" doo-doo chasing ? jockeys. That being said, I never like Murs any ? way. One of them rappity rap ? with minimal soul to superficially "deep" content.

If you do something on camera you still did it.I ain't feeling that ?

thats how you know there is an agenda at play. why is this the trendy thing to do now? we as a community still haven't put the drug culture behind us, there are more brothas in prison than brothas who were slaves in 1870, there is a problem with the inner city educational system as well.
but we got emcee's speaking out for people who choose to ? with the same gender as themselves? -
You know what, that was a pretty good song, Imma keep it 100. No I didn't agree with the kiss but he was acting out a character. One thing I like about Murs music is that he always tells a story. This was brave and all but I think the video (seeing that its an issue that does happen in real life) also points out that homosexuality is definitely a mental sickness as it was originally in the DSM before 1972. I listened to this podcast on what led to them taking Homosexuality out of the DSM in 1973.

Now we look at today of which it is a full blown lifestyle and now they are forcing it onto straight heterosexuals like they want it to be a standard. I'll say this, if you're ? , do you. But don't ever force it on other people, its disrespectful. If you turning ? (and this goes both male and female) just to fit in or join into a trend, fail! I'm not against ? rights, but know your history. Its not really civil rights, because unless you've told someone, people wouldn't even know you are ? , like how Murs character on the video was a closet homosexual. If you go through a life-changing event in your life that results in your decision, its understandable too. But all and all, IMO its not normal or natural, and its really a sexual identity disorder that should be talked about to your psychiatrist. -
wow im a murs fan but i didnt really check for his last project so i missed this! this took a shitload of ? !
-
Not gonna call him ? cause I dont know the dude but that scene was ? AS ? lol that is all. Not a big fan anyway
-
the bar has already been set with weak minded, prison-fuckable ass wimps who accepted the birdman/wayne kissing ? so this ? will at best be ignored but more than likely, at worst, applauded. ? tryna champion ? rights like black folks civil rights really exist...smh. priority ? ...priority. them ? 'll be allrite. i dont even know how such a non-issue has gained such relevance. nobody knows who youre ? unless theyre present or you broadcast it- ? or hetero. ? we running outta clean water and air... and this ? is part of a "needed change"? GTFOH. if a ? wanna suck weinies and people around him dont like that ? , then be around different people gotdammit. hetero or ? ...? and sucking is a small as part of life in proportion...there are way better "causes" to champion. This ? just tired of being an top tier b-lister so he kissed a ? to kiss the ? of the sodomite gods of the industry.

Lol @ thinking you're being asked to accept someone else's sexuality.
If someone's convinced that there's nothing wrong with them, what would they need approval for? -
It was a nice story but that don't make the dude ? . Plenty of actors kiss that don't don't make anyone ? . If he was ? and kissed a girl would he be straight again? How is ? an illness? How do you cure it? I don't care what you do I just don't like seeing the flamboyant ones

? this ? ? this is going to far

IF ACCEPTANCE AINT THE GOAL..then why do ? chant "we're here, we're ? " "get used to it"?. people who draw attention to themselves seek approval. parades, legal ? marriage and ? activism are attempts at forced acceptance. dont try to warp some basic human psychology ? to fit in that ? bag. -
you ? caping for a man kissing a man or ? and there are many places on earth where u would get yo ass beat where u stand for such blatant fruitiness. do some push-ups or something you moist ass ?

idgaf...aint no 100% straight man gone champion no ? ?

Murs fan here...
Cannot agree with the concept or the point he is trying to make..
Did not watch the ? ? .
