Hip-hop star KANYE WEST is advising his white counterparts that they can only use certain slang terms when they're out of style for black people.
The JESUS WALKS rapper - who recently charged that US President GEORGE W BUSH "doesn't care" about African Americans - believes that certain slang words should only be able to cross racial barriers when they're no longer in style for black people.
He says, "I think white people are allowed to say 'bling'. They are allowed to say old-school black slang, like 'hottie' and 'homie'.
"Actually, I do not think that (white people) are allowed to use slang until it is at least a year old. If you say a slang word too early, it's like you're trying to be black. So as long as the slang is a little played out, you're all good."

I'm for all that. I don't want to use their latest slang especially when they use it to degrade one another.
Anybody really care what this idiot thinks?
"Hwaet schall ic singen, Wulf?"
Is you is or is you ain't mah baybay.....
That's ok. I've now got a thing for 50ish anti-social scientists.
Right on, MoFo!
I don't know about all that, but I'd be willing to make a deal: if Kanye also decrees that whitey has to wear his caps with the bill forward, pull his pants up past his butt crack, and stop listening to rap at the traffic light, then I'm down with it.
(That's old enough for a congenital caucasian to use, right?)
Right on, MoFo!
"Excuse me, miss. But I speak jive ..." ... "Golly"!
Communication with the rest of the worlds races has never been a black Thing. That's why they've not learned and that's why they've not excelled at anything except panhandling and sports.
Actually I agree with him.
In fact I don't think he should be pretending to be ghetto, he is a middle class kid from the suburbs and he wouldn't last one day in the 'hood.
He is overcompensating by trying to be more ghetto than they are.
Bling?
Hottie?
Pffilllfpffaw.....blech
At least I have a vocabulary...
I asked my 20-something year old daughter what "bling-bling" meant and she said: "It means money ... but don't use that word! White people don't use that word. We sound stupid when we use that word!" I thought it sounded stupid even before I knew what it meant ...
I can't access the article, and I can't find it at the website listed. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Some Kanye West lyrics from 2003 (well-used):
[Direct cut-&-paste, with spelling intact, with only a few judicioujs "##"s and highlighting added...]
[Verse 4: Common]
Get em high like noon, or the moon or room filled with smoke
A high filled with dope
Y'all assumed I was doomed, out of tune, but I still feel the notes
The real nigga quotes
Real rappers is hard to find, like a remonte, control rap is not a
Used too but still got love, that's why I abuse you who are not thugs
Rock clubs, it's like Tiger, Woods in the hood, to have my own reality show
Called Soul Survivor, I stole all liver, niggaz in you
You'se a b##ch I got ones that are thicker than you
How could I ever let your words affect me, they say Hip-Hop is dead
I'm here to resurrect me, mosh is to sexy to even make songs like these
That's why the braud don't know your name, like Alicia Keys
To many featured emcees, and pro-ducers is populer
Twelve thousand spins, nobody got to coppin the
Album, how come, you the hot garbager
The years clear your image and snooped up
Label got you souped up, tellin you you sick
Man you a d##k with a loose nut
Video hard to watch like Medusa
Even your club record need a booster
Chimped up, with a pimp cup, "illeaterate" nigga
Read the infa, red across your head I'm bread king like Simba
Bolder then Denver, I ain't a Madd Rapper just a MC with a temper
You dansin for money like honey, I did this my way
So when the industry crash, I survive like Kanye
Spittin through wires and fires, MC retirin
Got yo hands up, get them motherf##kers higher then[Chorus: Kanye West]
N-now, th-th-through ya motherf##kin hands
GET EM HIGH
All the girls pass the weed to ya motherf##kin man
GET EM HIGH
Now I ain't never tell you to put down ya hands
KEEP EM HIGH
And if ya losin yo high than smoke again
KEEP EM HIGH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, Kanyidiot -- it's OK by you if the rest of us use those red words now?
...just so long as we don't use totally unrelated Old English words like "niggardly", huh...?
Oh...what's that you say about, "illeaterate"...?
Kanye West:"So as long as the slang is a little played out, you're all good."
So much for the front page of Time...
