Throwback Thursdays - The Marshall Mathers LP

I know it's like #thongthursday but conceal your perverted thirst momentarily while I take you back to the year 2000.

"I remember being in the 5th grade. Geeky narcissistic kid but really benign. Never used profanity before purposely. As a matter of fact, I despised cursed words. I think it all started on my birthday and my brother and I share the same b-day (1 year apart) so my mother like to buy us one gift that would benefit the both of us because she was always broke. I swear to Jesus, she brought us Will Smith's newest cd Willenium, and Eminem's cd The Marshall Mather's LP simultaneously. The polar opposite of each other so I'm at crossroad between good and evil. She had absolutely no clue how detrimental Eminem's lyrics could be. That Will album got trashed and luckily all that I inherited from the Em album was a foul mouth. I didn't want to kill the 5th grade bully even though the thoughts were tempting. (im joking)"

What I did inherit, was the best hip-hip album ever created. It's my opinion but try not disagreeing with the majority of white america, they agree with me. I know Illmatic is supposedly the hip-hop bible but I never heard it, sue me. That's neither here of there, but lets speak about some details.

This was Eminem's sophomore album and with the strength of his first album "The Slim Shady LP" people were optimistic. So who really listened to this album and was disappointed? I would like to meet that person in person. This album was a straight play-through and is critically acclaimed to be his best album. If you have a sense a humor and can tolerate his misogynistic, sexist, prejudice, derogatory lyrics, you will love this.

Do I even need to tell you how evil Eminem is? He is the Tiger Woods of rap, I'll save you the biography. There's a song on here that he descriptively tells you how he kills his wife. Kim is the song title and never before have I heard such originality. I was frightened to hear so much yelling but some part of me really loved it. It seemed poignant and from the outside looking in, you could tell he really loved/hated her tremendously. Criminal is the last song on the 18 track album and it's like to perfect ending to a movie. We took a step into a crazed maniac's mind who seems like a serial killer but it's not meant to be taken seriously. He even says "shit half the shit I say I just make it up to make you mad, so kiss my white naked ass"

I think my favorite track is Marshall Mathers because he stops the acts for half a second and give the listeners some insight on what it cost to be famous. The beef, the rumors, the lawsuits, the women, the fans, it.gets.real. There's also tracks like Drug Ballad, Remember Me, Kill You, Under The Influence, etc and I haven't even mentioned the radio joints like Stan, The Real Slim Shady, The Way I Am but who am I kidding, I love them all.

This album was one of the few rap albums that went diamond and it would be an insult to not call this a classic. THANK YOU EMINEM GOD!

Can White People Say The N-Word?

In the light of Madonna's recent attempt of unilaterally joining the black community through Instagram, I thought I should give white people an update on black people and our feelings towards the word 'nigga'. Nigga, nigga, nigga. Before I jump into that, I just want to mention that Madonna is on Instagram, she dated Chris Rock, she adopted a black baby from Zimwabawhoever, and she's 55 years old. You can say all of those things will qualify for a 'hood pass' but I don't give out passes, I just find all of those things to be extremely weird. But can Madonna say 'nigga'?
Here's Madonna's official comment:

I don't know who the fuck dirty soap is and why she was using nigga in that context, but to each it's own. If you're white and you want to yell out nigga for no reason like you have tourettes syndrome, that's totally up to you. To answer the question is YES, you have my permission white nigga.

Meanwhile, white people are freaking the fuck out. Madonna is a very notable white woman of stature. She is top tier white people, and probably will be shamed in the next white people meeting. Meanwhile, niggas do not give a fuck. Niggas have not gave a fuck since the NAACP buried the word back 2007. Nigga had a funeral and everything. Well Madonna and dirty soap dug that motherfucka up and she got it for the low. Word up.

Depending on what bubble you live in, white people have been saying 'nigga'. Since I'm a big comedy fan, I know white comics who use the word liberally. It doesn't bother me because it's not racist. Racism bothers me. Shit, white people invented the word, let em say it! You're entitled to exercise your freedom of speech rights just as much as black people. Rappers say nigga all the time in their music knowing that they have white fans expecting white people to pause themselves out of guilt. Dawg, nobody looking, just say it.

I heard the confusion from white people over the years asking why do we say the word to each other, but don't want another race to say it to us? That is not a dumb question white lady and I will be more than happy to educate you. To play nigga's advocate for a second, it all started from slavery....zzzzzz
To get to the point, it's our word now until we get our reparations. White people can't say it, unless you want us to take your yachts away. But that's bullshit right? Just say the fucking word. It's just a word! Just watch who you say it to and watch how you say it. It's nigga not nigger. Baby steps. It's a new generation by 2025, it'll be in the dictionary. Then they wont spellcheck you and put niggardly.

Here's a funny clip of Opie & Anthony listening to Drake's "Started From The Bottom"

Drake impersonates Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, and Katt Williams on 'SNL' [Video]

Former Canadian soap opera actor turned rapper Drake, was invited as a host and a musical guest on SNL last night. As one of the most diverse rappers in the game, my expectations were far from low. The only potential setback is that Drake doesn't come from a comedy background. So how did he do?

Well, in case you were actually enjoying your Saturday night like a normal human being unlike myself, Drake was great on SNL. He's no Kerry Washington or Justin Timberlake, but he's amazing on screen; and I'm not just saying that because I'm lightskin. The highlights of his performances were the spoofs of his rapper comrades Lil' Wayne and Jay-Z, and comedian Katt Williams. They weren't the funniest bits, but to see him impersonate these people was hilarious.

Here's the only video I could find of the Katt Williams parody. Watch it before NBC deletes it. More will be coming soon. Comment below and let me know how you felt about his performance.
