I was just going to say that actually, I thought I saw the N word the other day on here?
If that is the norm in rap that would put a new spin on this, his attitude and his image are still damaged though.

******,Queer,Cocksucker...these words are all used regularly in the genre of music. Yeah, he should be smarter than that as he's from XF and what not, but his lyrics aren't anywhere near as bad as some of the biggest names in rap.

is it not different just generally rapping about random things and including them words to rapping about a certain person and aiming the words at them.

[reece(:]

Not James Slothster coming for Liz McDonald like that

I'm dedicating this song to James Arthur, the absolute arsehole he is.

It's used as an insult in rap war all the time or as a putdown. Jay Z has said worse in battle yet when it came to it he used his profile to support gay marriage and campaign for it. It's stupid from James as he's a pop star and needs to keep that in mind, but let's not tag him as homophobic just yet or act like he's said worse than any rap star.

It's just unfortunately language used in the genre.

I watched him on Children in need last night, how on earth did he win X Factor,he sounded awful and in agony, clearly you can win X Factor if you are unable to sing.

As to his comments, absolutely pathetic, he has really made himself look and sound ridiculous.

[Verbal]

He is getting stick from all quarters

Frankie Boyle ‏@frankieboyle 20m

@JamesArthur23 Well you look like a post-op Miley Cyrus, so why not get it on? Oh, that's right, because of your rampant homophobia.

Owen Jones ‏@OwenJones84 5m

Looking forward to @JamesArthur23 donating a howge cheque to @stonewalluk to help them support LGBT people on the receiving end of prejudice

Brother Leon's hit the nail on the head in this thread, really.

Anyway I don't know how James Arthur is. I've never seen a picture of him. I literally have no clue. I'm blessed.

Its a regular word on here ,And I dont care if its a rap word or whatever ,its not good ,If I used it ,would be instant ban

[Amy Jade]

He's always been a bell end, all he does is moan on Twitter. I laughed when I read he had sold less albums than Matt Cardle who James Arthur had attacked for months for having low album sales.

I totally agree, Frankie Boil of all people to go for James is ironic when he made a name for himself making fun of disabled children. He's disgusting.

[Tom4784]

Yet saying someone needs drowning is the epitome of good taste....

He's a crap comedian that relies on shock tactics, taking him seriously is just foolishness.

I have many many gay friends. In rap feuds/rap disses the words I used have a different intent. This is a straight man I was attacking

James Arthur ‏@JamesArthur23 8m
Plus Rylan is one of my best mates and he is as gay as they come! #LOVE

LMAO. I'm black and whenever someone says something racist and gets accused of being one, they ALWAYS come back with the "I have loads of black friends" argument. This is exactly the same, but with gay people.

What he said about Harvey Price was the lowest thing Ive ever read

Do more reading.

I used to despise Frankie Boyle for the reasons that have already been stated, but changed my mind when I heard him talk 'off stage' as it where. He is a very intelligent, articulate man who (lets be honest) makes jokes that you would hear on building sites any day of the week.

There is far more to him than the lewd jokes.

And I was born disabled.

Frankie Boyle is a God

Also, if people actually watched his material and followed his work or on Twitter, rather than just lapping up the bullsh*t spin fed to them by the tabloids, they'd actually discover that Frankie is very anti-racism and pro-gay rights. He's also anti-establishment and has a lot of valid and interesting points to raise about attitudes in this country. You don't have to like his comedic material, sure, it's not for everyone I accept that, and yes he does set out to shock...that's his style. But he isn't this 'vile', racist, homophobic, disabled-hating, nasty prick that he's made out to be.

I think saying a disabled child rapes their mother is vile. I generally don't need to know anything more about him.

Eh? I'm just saying my opinion on Frankie Boyle has changed, not jumping on anyone.

Talking about being offensive and then alluding to the fact that someone should be drowned for making some crap jokes. It's the same outrage Brittania garbage. She can post her opinions all she wants, we can also post rebuttals.

Back to Frankie ... I was very impressed with aspects of his book when I read it a few years back. He definitely has a political and social conscious. Maybe even a spiritual one. It's just a shame none of it ever finds it's way into his comedy. I like him as a personality but Tramadol Nights exposed him as an act. I guess he is a niche comedian, it's just that he became a massive mainstream one through Mock The Week.

Not my cup of tea but whatever. I can see why he would have an audience, definitely.
