New York Knicks owner and JD & the Straight Shot frontman Jim Dolan is bored with ruining the Knicks. His next project: Ruining music.
Dolan seems to fancy himself a truth-tellin', rock-n-rollin' troubadour à la Neil Young, and his new song "Under That Hood"—premiered at the New York Times—is his "Ohio": The tale of an unconscionable killing, told bluntly, with lots of vocal harmonies.
The Trayvon Martin-referencing tune differs from "Ohio" in one key aspect: It is bad. It is very bad. From the lyrics to the phrasing to the harmonica ? sounds that ? the third verse, everything about it is bad. Its closest analogue...an Applebee's jingle?
The full lyrics are below, courtesy of Kevin Draper:
If you happen to be a fan of political allegory told from the unique perspective of a guy who owns two major sports franchises and at least as many Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band records, a reminder: you can catch these guys tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden.

they all coming out the woodwork.
its either water down racism or pay me because im racist -
Wow.
-
the irony of the two NBA owners also being atrocious at their jobs
there will not be a public outrage from middle America about racism -
Sounds like he was saying the trayvon killing was ? up, am I wrong?
-
"If I'm going down, you're all coming with me."
- Donald Sterling. -
Sounds like he was saying the trayvon killing was ? up, am I wrong?
Or poking fun at his death. Take the cape off.
(If you were blessed to be African) They don't like you. -

I thought this was gon be some foul ? .
Reaching if you this this verse is racist. -

Lets force jim dolan to sell the knicks

Funny thing is ain't not one of us, is going to do ? about this, or can. At least 99.87962% sure about this.

I'm really not seeing any sarcasm in those lyrics.
-
Any white person that shows some kind of sympathy towards this event gets my respect. I don't see any racism in the lyrics, y'all reaching.
-
When I saw the thread title, I knew this wouldn't end well. It just doesn't sound like a good idea to do from jump.
-
I don't have much of an opinion of this. I think people get caught up in the status of the people who do anything.
If nobody white college kid surfer dude down the street made this song at the beach in Santa Cruz while playing his guitar and uploaded it to YouTube, people would just say he was being real.
This wasn't racist, unless I missed something. You can't stop all non-black people from talking about everything that involves blacks. It is what it is. -
dope multi's

Meh, This is like some Bob Dylan folk song ? . Like when Dylan made "The Hurricane" (a song about unfairly imprisoned boxer Reuben "Hurricane" Carter)

Seems he trying to make a song about the situation and it's just a bad ? song.
He tried to make a socially conscious song and seemingly failed, if you actually read the lyrics you'd see he not at all racist in it. -
nothing racist about that song... a black man couldve written the same thing
