Lupe Fiasco – Bitch Bad (2012)

Yeah, I say
Bitch bad, woman good, lady better
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

[Verse 1]
Now imagine there’s a shorty, maybe five maybe four
Ridin’ ’round with his mama listening to the radio
And a song comes on and a not far off from being born
Doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong
Now I ain’t trying to make it too complex
But let’s just say shorty has an undeveloped context
About the perception of women these days
His mama sings along and this what she says
“Niggas, I’m a bad bitch, and I’m that bitch
Something that’s far above average”
And maybe other rhyming words like cabbage and savage
And baby carriage and other things that match it
Couple of things are happenin’ here
First he’s relatin’ the word “bitch” with his mama – comma
And because she’s relatin’ to herself, his most important source of help
And mental health, he may skew respect for dishonor

[Hook]
Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, they misunderstood
(I’m killin’ these bitches)
Uh, tell ‘em
Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, they misunderstood
They misunderstood

Raw Footage: Brother Ali on the “N Word”

Can white kids with black friends be given permission to say “nigga?”

This is a little snippet from a conversation I had last year with one of my favorite people in hip-hop, Brother Ali.

Teachers calls student a “nigga”

News report on a teacher using the word “nigga” to address a student. The teacher was suspended without pay for 10 days and ordered to attend diversity training.

The teacher doesn’t seem to have racist intentions, but he seems ignorant of what he symbolizes as a white male authority figure. This video should be contextualized with a history of race relations, of course.

The exasperated teacher delivers hilarious examples of the casual way “nigga” is used among his students, arguing that he used “nigga” as a synonym for “dude,” and not the racial slur “nigger.”

“Can ya lend a nigga a pencil?”

Rafael Casal – Bay Area Slang Top 100

The music video version of Urban Dictionary for the Bay Area.

It was a bit controversial, as it’s intention was to bring light to the fact that the Bay Area has contributed some of the most used slang and language to HipHop, without any recognition whatsoever. Much of the slang you will see in this video dates back almost 20 years, but can be traced back to the all mighty B-A-Y.

Louis CK – Being White

SEE ALSO: The Evolution of Louis C.K.

“If you’re not white, you’re missing out, because this shit is thoroughly good.”

“I’m not saying that white people are better, I’m saying that being white is clearly better.”

“Here’s how great is is to be white: I could get in a time machine, and go to any time, and it would be fucking awesome when I get there!

That is exclusively a white privilege.  Black people can’t fuck with time machines.  A black guy in a time machine is like ‘hey, anything before 1980, no thank you, I don’t wanna go.’”

“I don’t wanna go to the future and find out what happens to white people, because we’re gonna pay hard for this shit, you gotta know that. We’re not just gonna fall down from #1 to #2. They’re gonna hold us down and fuck us in the ass forever. And we totally deserve it, but for now, wheee!”

The Wieners Circle: This American Life

One popular hot dog stand in Chicago, Illinois caters to its crowd in a unique way — by trading insults. The customer may always be right, but people filing into The Wieners Circle after last call come for the greasy food and mutual verbal harassment, bantering with their servers. Owners Barry Nemerow and Larry Gold didn’t anticipate that they’d become local stars for running a place known for rowdy employees.
