I have yet to figure out why so many people have denounced his radio interview with an Atlanta radio station as ludicrous, unintelligent/stupid, or downright dismissable. The only thing I can see the man being guilty of is being hilarious. But even while laughing at his comments during this interview, I couldn't help but feel him on a lot of the points that he made. I have ran across a lot of blogposts that lead me to think that people feel what he said wasn't worthwhile, but I beg to differ. I think Pimp C said a lot of things that others wouldn't have the guts to say and a lot of things that were just brutally honest. The man obviously expresses himself in a hilarious vernacular that may hinder him actually getting his point across. But yet-and-still, a dummy can listen/read between the lines to figure out the points he's trying to make if they just tried.
It's a lot easier to just dismiss him as a loudmouth, old, angry southern rapper than it is to actually think about what he said and whether or not it makes sense. At least that seems to be the case. I won't sit here and say that everything he said in that interview made sense (the time zone thing for example), but I will say that the majority of it definitely made sense to me. Just because he says funny stuff like "feelings is like booty-holes", "a fight go with that", and "get off the boo-boo" does not mean that he isn't making some good points.
Think about some of the stuff he said in the radio interview:- "On these records everybody lying. Everybody is these d-boys, every body these hardcore gangsters...Truth be told, we too blessed and we having too much money is this rap game to be going to war with each other."
- "If we don't clean it up, we gon' lose everything we fought to get...At the end of these records we listen to, we don't get nothing out of 'em no more...We don't get no social commentary. We ain't getting no kind of knowledge."
- "If you gon' talk about some squares and talk about the drug game, you need to talk about the bad side of it too!"
- "It ain't no need to embarrass nobody that ain't done nothing to us...Everything done in the dark is gon' come to light...If you ain't proud of what you do, then don't do it! And if anything you're ashamed of, you shouldn't be doing!"
- "And I was not going to leave my family on the side of the road...If you don't like that and you don't understand that, then you don't have no understanding about life! And anybody who that put this rap game or they job or anything ahead of their family or God, well shame on you!"
- "We need to stop doing all this negative stuff!"
Pimp C might not have been right in everything he said, but he's definitely thinking the right way. And I bet you won't hear other artists challenging what he said. The original O-Zone article is to the left and is a bit more scathing and seems more off-the-cuff and reckless. But I think that he cleared up everything in that article while doing the radio interview.
NOTE: Funny how the bleeped "fa**ot" in the interview, but they don't bleep ni**er

When Wilt made the statement his biography "
And assuming that Wilt didn't start getting regular lovin till he was A-list famous in his twenties, that's 8 years (from age 12 to 20) for him to be a regular Joe Schmoe just like the rest of us guys. You know, aside from the fact that he was tall as hell and had a full mustache in the 6th grade. LOL.
There are several points to this story as I am sure some of you must be wondering why I wrote this. The first is that Wilt should have invested some of his basketball money into companies that produced the prophylactics he was using. He either stayed "strapped", was "shooting blanks" or forced a lot of women to have abortions because he didn't have any children. Second, HIV/AIDS must be man-made if Wilt did not contract that shyt. Third, too much sex can kill you. Wilt died at age 63 because of heart failure. Perhaps all that sexin' caught up with the "
I discussed the concept of the burial of the N-word with K because I think she's very astute when it comes to these matters and has lots of very thought-provoking things to say. Here's the gist of what she had to say:
Today my co-worker Paul suggested that we have a rock-paper-scissors tournament. Many of you probably think that the idea is so lame that we wouldn't even think twice about trying it and dismiss it as well, lame. You are sadly mistaken. There's an official bracket for this thing that includes 8 players (which includes my boss). 
While most of us were busy thinking about the NBA Draft, figuring out what Paris Hilton did in her first few days home from jail, Beyoncé being called a "roboho", or getting ready to buy our iPhones, a plot was discovered in London to use two cars as explosive devices at a London airport. Also, a car WAS USED as an explosive device at Glasgow Airport in Scotland. After watching "Munich" for the first time this weekend, I have a refreshed outlook on international relations.
