Yeah I Said It

I am always shocked when hip hop crosses the pathway of the (ny) times, hell any 'mainstream' media in general. I think the shocking factor of the times is the hardline against the hip hop creep. Other media outlets for the last decade or so have increasingly exhibited the signs that hip hop is pervasive ... in the same way that America would like to believe westward expansion was for the world. I read articles in the (la) times, dallas morning star, miami hearld and see the hip hop lingo creeping in otherwise not pop culture/music articles. the (ny) times however does not such liberties.

luda is arguably the 'type' of hip hop that pied-à-terre buying nytimes reading folks find less an affront to their existence. i imagine luda would be allowed to date their daughter as long as they believed their daughter would marry a 'nice' college boy. so when i saw the tidbit on the luda freestyle under the caucus section of the times i HAD to read it....

after a forty plus read of the comments i realized this probably was the worst rant ever surely. after the two minutes it took to listen to it i realized it wasn't that bad. Yes, luda calls sen. clinton the b-word and he declares sen. mccain is only fit for a chair upon paralysis. but overall the beat is weak and luda has spit better bars on the DJ khaled i'm so hood remix.

of course considering luda's liberal usage of the n-word and the b-word in his body of work, and the fact that i am sure he would consider sen. obama his ni**a, i can't say the sen. clinton label is that damning. on the other hand the sen. mccain riff just doesn't make sense...paralysis happens to folks who aren't old or maybe its a shot at sen. mccains POW status...who knows but either way it just really isn't a freestyle punch.

of course the saddest thing in the story is that luda called the president of the US retarded and it seems the commenting body is not nearly as upset by that shot....which is most damning to the mentally handicap (aka retarded) folks just don't need that baggage having pres. bush stuck in their camp.
