Quitcherbitchin'

Imagine my sheer delight and surprise as I was lulled to sleep by Jay-Z's stupendously brilliant lyrics, "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one." I was so stunned at his rhythmic speech that I even googled the lyrics. Apparently Ice-T is in on this little bit of musical heaven as well? I bet Beyonce is spectacularly bursting with pride at that bit of genius lyricism. Now, I may be naive, but I thought the general consensus was that women (even crack whores) don't enjoy being referred to as "bitches", not in jest, not in passing, not really at all. And in swoops Jay-Z with his bling bling TOP 40 catering MTV appearing ass, rapping about his difficult life because according to him he got pulled over because his hat was pulled down too low. Awww. Don't want to be treated like a thug? Don't act like one. I mean, I don't put on that outfit from Julia Roberts' "Pretty Woman" (you know you know what I'm talking about. That pink and black one that's about the size of a napkin. From one of those classy establishments that covers your whole damn lap and the bottom half of your chest. I'm not talking about those sorry wetnap thingys they expect you to cleanse your hands with at Red Lobster after you eat a pound and a half of snow crab.) and walk down Delaware Avenue and NOT expect to get propositioned. Dress like a hooker, get treated like one. This same line of reasoning also applies to insert tired stereotype here So, to use Jay-Z's own words, "Bitch, please!"

Note: I am neither racist nor predjudice, so don't even try playing that card in here. I am just as inclined to make fun of silly people be they white, yellow, red, brown, or blue. My pissy sense of humor does not discriminate.

Everytime that song plays here (on gary's computer) i roll my eyes.. and start making up my own lyrics...

JayZ is a fucking retarded idiot looser and he would be if he was white, asian, purple or alien... so no it's not a race thing. It's a "I'm cool now I can say what I want thing".. moron...

Ya girl for real............ I think most people agree with what you just said except those stereotypes who think they're not stereotypes. And when I say stereotypes, we all know its mostly the people who dont live in the "hood" but like to pretend they do. For some reason, it's cool to be a drug dealer and break laws and let kids go to crappy schools cause the parents are too busy smoking weed and chasing ass to care. Crap, did I just dos ome stereotyping?
