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."

Que?
estoy hablando para la mariposa, Kayne
Thanks, but I did that. I could access the site but couldn't find the article. I can't access the article that posted on here either.
But, with [c]rap like that being pounded (literally -- "THUMP! THUMP!") into the the skulls of "the cultcha", is any wonder that savagery erupts from those so afflicted when society's controls are relaxed a bit?
LOL

EXCERPT
Whereas most rappers have limited opportunities for travel before getting signed, West was always aware of the wider world. Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, he accompanied his mother, an English professor, on a year-long work trip to China when he was 10. Equally formative, he says, were the summers he spent with his father, a Black Panther turned pastoral counsellor, in Maryland and Washington DC. "Just having to speak to people and learn a different dialect. That's what I try with my music - this will affect more people if I word it like this."
Is that because you want to be liked by everyone? "Yeah, maybe it is. It's maybe the trademark of a show-off." Not necessarily, I say. Some show-offs only want to be noticed rather than liked. "Those are assholes," he cackles.
Ah, how generous of Kanye, to let us use the aged gangsta crap, just not the new gangsta crap.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
i dig that!
Diva's Husband:
I do not think it is "unease". I think it is anger. Like you I think normal people are getting tired.
Right now, I am seeing the anger. Time will tell, but I don't think this anger bodes well for the future.
LOL. thanks.
he's a gold digger
Bingo! Thanks a bunch! :)
a lot of people dont see anything about these POS rappers except for jessie jackass and al brawley sharpton and they need to be outed because a lot of children listen to that crap.

If I had kids that crappin stuff wouldn't be in mu household. No way. No how.
