Today is a national holiday for some of your cousins but for the rest of us we have to show up to work to deal with shit like this. While I am happy that the spirit of rhyme continues to live on, this is not what I signed up for .

From The C+D Vault: Hip-Hop History At The Oscars

Before you cry foul over Sandra Bullock’s best actress win and join Mookie in hurling an aluminum trash can through your neighborhood’s pizzeria take a moment to sit back and reflect on harder times.

R. Kelly Is Still Trapped In The Closet

I will never forget listening to the entire Trapped In The Closet series on the radio [don't ask me how they pulled that one off] in 2007 while driving back home to Georgia from enjoying a night full of hot hoe shit at a club across the border in Florida. Being a designated driver comes with all kinds of great perks, see?

In a Twitvid posted recently, the Pied Pisser says that he has just completed 15 chapters of his ghetto opera and plans on releasing them only if the public wants to hear. The way I see it is if we can put up with Nicki Minaj’s audio hysterics we might as well give Arah’s a listen. More midget strippers with chicken drumette thighs > everything.

Did General Larry Platt Rip Off “Back Pockets On The Floor”?

And the plot thickens! The Green Brothers of Highland Park, Michigan claim that their 1996 recording “Back Pockets on the Floor” was the blueprint for General Larry Platt’s American Idol success.

In a letter to MyFox Detroit,the brothers say that the similarities between Platt’s song and their decade plus song are more than coincidence, and they want the world to see their version, reports the Huffington Post.

“This is in regaurds [sic] to the General Larry Platt “Pants on The Ground”. His song is a take off of the Green Brothers song ” Back Pockets On The Floor’,” The Green Brothers wrote in a statement uploaded to YouTube last week.

“Back Pockets On The Floor was written by G. Green and was copyrighted and recorded by the Green Brothers in 1996. The General’s song have the same intent, idea and in part the same message. YOU BE THE JUDGE AMERICA!!”

Pass The Au Jus!

You either love or hate New Orleans bounce music. The syncopated rhyme patterns delivered over dizzying beats can be difficult for outside ears to decipher but fortunately fuckery is a universal language that needs no interpreter.

Take a note out of your cousin’s handbook and wow your family and friends at Thanksgiving Dinner by freestyling about the food dishes on the table. Just remember that if it doesn’t go over well don’t blame it on the lettuce, don’t blame it on the tomato. Shouts out to my lil’ double roast beef anon nymous for submitting my new ringtone.
