Okay, you want rap...here's rap:

WHITE GUY

*NOTE Normal print = him
Italics print = her
Underline = both

Well, I’m a white guy and I take no crap
When I deliver my white rap
Now you may wonder how a man can stand to be
Uptight, polite and white like me
Well it runs in the family, just like the folks on Dynasty
I got my money the old fashion way
My granddaddy dropped dead one day
I’m rich! Hot damn! I never had to go to Viet Nam
So I asked my girl to be my wife
She’s pert and pretty, this white guy’s wife

We’re extremely white ——— all right
We walk with our buttocks extremely tight


I’m a white guy ——— say who
Say what ———

I’m a white guy’s wife
From Connecticut

I drop him off at the railway station
Grit my teeth in pure frustration
Meet my friends at the tennis club
Get a pedicure and a body rub
We all go shopping, I buy a dress
Put it on the White Guy’s American Express

Visa ——— Diner’s
Mastercard and oriental gentleman to mow the yard
Kiwifruit ——— chocolate muisse
Lots of bran to keep our bowels loose

On Saturday for a special thrill
We fire up the Weber grill
Invite some white guys and their wives
We drink within an inch of our lives
We drink some more at Ruth and Ed’s
And wind up in each other’s beds
I wake up, Ruth’s next to me
I’m glad I had a vasectomy
But that’s alright — we won’t fight
It’s just not done when you’re extremely white

We’re extremely white ——— all right
We walk with our buttocks extremely tight

Got a BMW an MBA vote GOP on election day
I’m liberated I belong to NOW but I voted for Reagan anyhow
Well he’s a white guy and his budget cuts
Will hurt other people but they won’t hurt us

We’re extremely white ——— all right
We walk with our buttocks extremely tight

White Guys!

Think of it this way. They are probably giving you a rudimentary score just for being able to take the test. And after all, you were able to operate a computer to do it :)
 
I think people who are creative (that’s Us guys) we are smarter than the rest, creativity is a sign of intelligence, anyway way to go Rich lee and et al, if that test is anyway accurate then you’re a genius man.

Hudson man, you’re writing a book, so that “Insightful Linguist” probably figures, heck at any rate your smatter than the average, no doubt about that.

Now for those who say Kanye is a genius I guess what they are really saying is that he is really creative, / and or original because that’s a sign of intelligence.

My view is Kanye is ok, I listen to “hip hop” sometimes, but then I listen to static noise as well, don’t get me wrong, static noise IS the most beautiful noise in the Universe, its remnants from the Big bang (comic background radiation).

Most importantly Anhar, is common sense. I am teaching my son (turning 6 this month) common sense, morality, kindness and couth.

I don't expect straight A's but I do expect that.
 
Kayne doesnt write his own lyrics, he gives a story or the gist to someone who can, hes a phony rapping chump, one who can make sick ass beats tho
 
yea tell me about it, Common Sense is something that is badly lacking in youths these days, its a sad state of affairs, glad that you're taking the right actions.

Im not sure exactly, I found this out after his newest album dropped, look at the inside booklet of the CD, obviously the thread is alive because it was replied to..
 
Kanye West . . . ay, ay, ay . . .

Well, I must say that he comes off like someone who thinks he is educated and tries to speak that way. Anybody ever hear "Dave Oliva" on The Phil Hendrie Show? When Kanye speaks his mind, I can only hear "Dave Oliva" speaking some inane diatribe. That being said, I have to shake my head because as much as I don't like Kanye, I'm more EMBARRASSED for him.

As for his music, I can't say it is anything special or revolutionary. Seems to be that he is the flavor of mainstream hip-hop right now. And so what. He has plenty of marketing behind him to shape public opinion. I haven't even gotten into his maniacal ego, which is mostly irrelevant to his music.

I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop, but that genre (IMHO) holds far more weight when you look to artists such as those in the Wordsound Recordings family and extended family. Take someone like Bill Laswell. How many people have ever even heard of that guy? Yet he is one of the most hard-working and repected artists in hip-hop, dub and more.

WS50: THE VIDEO ALBUM

WSCD050

Stardate 2004: The landscape of independent music is littered with the remains of small, start-up labels once eagerly engaged in the struggle to be heard or perhaps, if blessed, sell records and make some money. It's a brutal, fickle, and temporary business, and even if one manages to survive long enough to become bloated and passe or bought up by a major (which amounts to the same thing), there really is no glory in longevity. But once in a while a label comes around that defies the rules of the game....and that label is WordSound. Since it's humble beginnings in a Brooklyn bunker in 1994, WordSound has always been the exception, remaining far below the radar despite releasing 50 albums of uncompromising originality, diversity, and power. In 2004, WordSound celebrates a decade as a mighty unseen force in music with the release of WS50: The Video Album, featuring "The Greatest Thing You Never Heard," a WordSound Dubumentary.

The film, like the label, is difficult to pin down. It's as much a personal journey seen through the eyes of Skiz Fernando as it is a musical tribute to different styles and similar attitudes. Skiz is the Eye behind WordSound, churning out records by his alter-ego Spectre, The Ill Saint; writing books (The New Beats: Exploring The Music, Culture & Attitudes of Hip-Hop, Anchor/Doubleday) and articles about music for Rolling Stone, Vibe and The Source; and making guerilla films armed with only a vision, sheer will, and cojones. Eschewing the typical Behind-The-Music format of a linear history illustrated by talking heads and stock footage, the dubumentary bounces around space and time like a cosmic fly on the wall. The camera lingers--through studio sessions, shows, interviews, and random acts of bugging--affording intimacy, and giving full run to the eccentric personalities, or sub-leberties, behind this eclectic outfit. Artists you haven't heard of like Mentol Nomad, Scotty Hard, Mr. Dead, Leon Lamont, MC Paul Barman, DJ KLOS, Spectre, Sensational, and Prince Charming, represent different facets of the WordSound multiverse, where talent and a reverance of the artform runs deep. Along with cameos from Bill Laswell, Prince Paul, RZA, Wu Tang Clan, EPMD, DJ Premier, Jungle Brothers, Sly & Robbie, Scientist, Lee Perry, and the Last Poets, all of whom have contributed to the festivities in one way or another, the Greatest Thing You Never Heard proves itself a true adventure into uncharted realms.

Like the "found sound" in a WordSound composition, much of the film's footage was culled from Skiz's personal archives. Over the years he has utilized many formats--from Super 8 to High-8 to digital video--with the hopes of one day completing a project such as this one. After combing through the vaults, he selected more than 40 hours of worthy material, and spent the next 8 months whittling it down to a lean 74 minutes. Unlike his debut feature, Crooked, which was edited professionally on AVID, Skiz cut this film himself on Final Cut Express, favoring understatement to the razzle dazzle of effects. To this end he also keeps narration sparse, and at times, mystical, and scores the film with masterpieces from the formidable WordSound catalog. In all, this unique melding of word, sound, and vision, the "dubumentary," offers an alternative look into a singular entity, where business is far from usual. "If you ever saw the Monkees' movie Head, that's kind of what I was going for," says Skiz, "Episodes of randomness, which are complete in themselves, but linked by an invisible strand."

As with the label and the music, The Greatest Thing You Never Heard was a labor of love, a homage to the spirit of independence and creativity. Most amazingly it cost no money, making it possibly the only film ever released to have this distinction. Movies, after all, are big business, and nary a movie is made these days that is not calculated to bring in healthy returns. But money was certainly not the motivation or even a factor in this case." After 10 years in a pretty unique line of work, Skiz sums it up like this, "I think the time was right to put a face on this mysterious organization. In think people need to know that it's doable, whatever you want to do, and that we are just a bunch of people who focussed our energy on something we love, music. Once the love is there, all things are possible."

In addition to the dubumentary, the DVD also includes an exclusive interview with legendary bassist/producer Bill Laswell, who financed the initial releases on WordSound as well as a long-time collaborator; three music videos, including Spectre's "Pillars Of Smoke, Prince Paul's "Booty Clap," and the Metabolics' "M Virus;" and the trailer for the film Crooked, also written, produced and directed by Skiz Fernando and available on DVD. WS50: The Video Album is available at most fine stores or directly from www.wordsound.com.
