    I think he's the epitome of what's wrong with Rap music right now.

    and

    "I'm hot cuz i'm fly" is up there as the dumbest line in popular music history.

    Lighten up, deej. It's clearly written like that on purpose with a magnificent, granted, vice-like sarcasm. If you wipe off your ice grill for a moment you might find it entertaining, but hey...opinions opinions, you know?

    That shit was funny. I'm feeling the Venn diagrams and tautologies. Also, the clowing of wack-ass Mims.

    You should write a book on this subject. Just don't use the word "wack" in it.

    I thought it was anything but that. The much-circulated Biggie "translation" had an unpleasant "why can't those people speak proper English?" subtext that I didn't care for one bit, whereas this is actually funny.

    even if you don't find it offensive per se, it still seems unneccessary, as if he thinks people who like the song don't realize its silly?

    uhh seems abundantly clear that it's not sincerely setting out to enlighten anyone

    I like this song, I think it's ridiculous, and I thought this article was funny. I don't understand what's unnecessary about this piece. It was funny[/b].
  • deejdeej 5,125 Posts
    i guess i don't 'get it'
    or just think the 'joke' of overanalyzing silly things is one-note and not particularly clever

    but never you mind me.

    I dunno, I think you may be taking it a little too seriously. If the joke's at anyone's expense, surely it's those critics who can't resist the impulse to deconstruct and over-intellectualise every aspect of pop (and more often nowadays, rap) music. As for its necessity, I guess it's no more or less necessary than any other light-hearted spacefiller you might find in the Voice.

    This is the standard we are all being held to, now?

    ONLY SAY THAT WHICH IS NECESSARY!

    If this is going to be rigidly enforced, you're looking at a BAN, deej.

    Annoyed as I am that I had to read something printed in the VV, this was indeed very funny. Someone over at Blender is wondering why they didn't come up with this first.

    i like the song. fuck lyrics. the song goes. i thought the piece was funny, but you get in the first 5 lines that he isnt serious about it and i didnt feel it was necessary for him to write or for me to read the whole thing. that said, venn diagrams are my schitt right now.
