I dont think the song is supposed to offend anyone I suspect it was an attempt at a PSA to the HIP-HOP audience to point out the sillyness of songs like "Fry that Chicken" "Crank that (Soulja boy tell'em)" and "Chicken Noodle Soup" that are:
A) pointless, not that all music has to have a point. B) demeaning to us brown folks. |

Please. This is a tempest in a teapot. Believe me, our culture has much larger problems than whether Hip Hop lives or dies.
If it lives, well, GOY. If it dies, so what. Probably, over time, it will change and evolve and splinter and fragment into various kinds of music. Either way we'll still be a culture obsessed with our rights and entitlements but completely oblivious to our own personal responsibilities. |

Further, are you telling us that these rappers should be tackling...whatever you deem the most important thing, say health care reform? Maybe designing rockets for space exploration? These guys are experts in their field, I am more than happy to let them remain so. It reminds a little bit of that Y2K episode of Family Guy, "Da Boom", where the doctor shows up to Peter's post apocalyptic twinkie town, looking to join them. He says he is a doctor, Peter says something like, "That's great, I hope you get to be one", then has him draw his job from a hat in the interest of being fair, what they apparently deemed the single most important facet of their culture at the time. Of course, the doctor drew something like janitor and everyone suffered.

Hahaha I wonder what Al Sharpton would say about this? Seriously, it could go either way....maybe?

I think the bigger question is Nick Cannon?
Is he trying to prove his blackness? Cause he ranks right up there with Wayne Brady on the thug level in my book. And didn't Nas try to name his album Nigger? But he changed it cause he wanted to make money? And he left Kelis while she was pregnant. Why doesn't he change that aspect of hip-hop before he worries about catchy beats. |

If these guys focus on doing their are, people will either dig it or they won't. Either way, music will eventually change.

This song is stuck in my head and I just thought everyone would like to know.
I do have on question though, why doesn't anyone get upset up about yellowface? Everybody in media gets all up in arms about blackface, but not even asians really mention yellowface... Just thought I'd ask. |
