You just leave your boom box's and grills at home

Got back the quote for insurance at Rockman, we go really over board with the policy and have much better coverage than the USAT offers…one thing we know for certain - there will be NO RAP MUSIC of any kind at the event. Few other things not allowed too…we can have, do have and insure the DJ…as long as he plays no Rap music.

Oh, body piercing and tattooing on site is also not covered.

There goes my warm-up routine.

Seriously?

Is there a definition of what is considered Rap? Where does Rap become hip hop? Is hip hop ok as long as it’s not a remix?

Dang. You dog, are you down wit it?

Damn, with my transition times I was hoping to get a Rockman tat inbetween the bike and the run.

Not sure…I should post the policy, it is funny

Does rap music incite riots?
I can just see it…“Fight the Power…Fight the Power…” and a bunch of spandex wearing skinny dudes break out into a brawl.

it is grillz with a z…i first thought it was about banning tailgating at events…

Do post that part of the policy. If smells of racial steering to me. Very illegal in the housing and banking markets, but not in insurance?

So can i Rap?? Cause that would definitly NOT Be music.

Ttown is right, the title of your post is confusing. It is Grillz not grills.

Irony prediction: White guy steals your bike out of Transition while Rascal Flatts bumps the race…

I figured I would just have Marylin Manson blasting the whole day, maybe some Ministry and Thrill Kill Kult…just no rap.

Cant think of any rap music that would even play at a triathlon.

How about some enya and yani to get the blood pumping in the morning.

Hmmm…I might get back into tri’s at that rate.

We do play Enya from 4:30am until 6:30 - then it is a rock concert for the rest of the day. Last song last year was the sinking of the edmund fitzgerald…this was after the storms blew everything away. Wanted to strangle who ever decided to play that crap.

Beastie Boys. Sir Mix-a-Lot. The dudes who did “Walk This Way” with Aerosmith (can’t recall the name - Run DMC?) did lots of stuff. Stuff like that.

Early rap was friendly and upbeat. It’s the recent crap that sounds so violent and confrontational.

I wonder if “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” counts as rap? It really isn’t a rap. I do think Eminem would count but then the typical pump up song “Lose Yourself” wouldn’t be allowed.

Things that make you go hmmm…

Typically If I dont hear Easy E’s “Boyz in the da Hood” before final instructions, I pack up, demand a refund and leave the race.

Does this mean that Jordan can’t compete?
