Slap-Boxing With Jesus

Nigga

I wasn’t going to blog today. Rather, I was going to spend my day off laid up in my one-room mansion’s poor excuse of a living room running through round after round of Madden until my fingerprints were rubbed raw from the buttons. Then maybe I was going to rub one out to some porn - Lord knows I’ve “acquired” my own fair share of those shits on my computer - until I came cross this piece on the Internets that revealed that Mexico of all places has the world’s first retirement center for chalupa-chewing scallywhops. No, seriously.

Don’t believe me? You may want to check this out. Don’t feel like reading? Well, here’s the video report on it. I wonder if each guest gets a free pack of Valtrex, a bag of ice & a gift coupon to one of those recently reopened Taco Bell "restaurants."

But I digress.

Needless to say, I wasn’t entirely interested in watching the flexibility of Kapri Styles after that one. Shorty got crazy ass for a skinny broad though.

So in between searching for shit to yoke off the ‘Nets, I came across Nazz's response to detractors of the name of his next album. Not to come off as apathetic or anything, but I really don’t see what all the madness is about the shit in the first place, particularly when it involves a bunch of old geezers who are so out of touch with today’s younger generation that Michael Jackson and Robert Sylvester Kelly couldn't een show them how to do it properly.

Besides, it’s not like they don’t have their own skeletons anyways.

What makes it more disheartening is that these humps don’t even attempt to try to understand the culture of today’s youth, instead passing it off as simply destructive jibba jabba. I’ll admit I’ve talked my fair share of shit about rap, but the shit doesn’t mean I believe it is single-handedly destroying the Black race as a whole. Not when there are still traces of racism, a shoddy economy, poor public schooling and a plethora of other shit that will turn even the brightest of children into a dark-hearted killer.

It’s pretty wild to see hip-hop culture take such a beating like it has this year. At the same time, it’s not like it wasn’t unwarranted, what with all those piff pocketers that got ethered last year, not to mention the stunts some of these jackasses have pulled in this month alone. In their defense, perhaps it’s a twisted way of trying to police this culture, as our own representatives have continually failed us. At the same time, catching feelings over the dreaded n-word is pretty ass-backward when you got all these Southern rappers wanting to buy machine guns and silencers: point being, if they’re going to attack something, attack something that is a legitimate threat [1], as the dreaded n-word has been around longer than I have. Speaking of which, does anybody else find it ironic that the same YTs who “invented” the word to demean Blacks are now up in arms over its use in a musical genre they probably don’t listen to?

I hope that I’m not the only one who sees that bullshit.

[1] And don’t tell me that the new MC Hammer has a legitimate reason for trying to get those shits either.
