Now I rock the houseparty at the drop of a hat
And I can beat a biter down with aluminum bat
A lot of people they be jonesin cause they hear me rock the mic
They be starin at their radios
Stayin up all night
So, like pimp, I'm pimpin
Got a boat to eat shimp in
Ain't nothin wrong with my leg I'm just B-Boy limpin
I got arrested at the Mardi Gras for jumpin on the float
My man, MCA's got a beard like a billy goat
Ooha Oooha! It's a disco call!
MCA, uh huh! Get a rope, ya'll

The routines that I bust
And the rhymes that I write
And I'll be bustin routines and rhymes all night
Like eatin burgers and chicken and you'll be pickin your nose
And I'm on time, homie, that's how it goes
You heard my style, I think you missed the point...

New Orleans was delightfully bustling with visitors when we were there in October. They had a huge Neuroscience 2012 convention in town, bringing in 30,000+ visitors, and in February the town is going to be super crazy with not only Mardi Gras, but the Superbowl!

Mike D Yeah?with your bad self running things
What's up with your bad breath onion rings
Well I'm Mike D and I'm back from the dead
Chillin' at the beaches down at Club Med
Make another record 'cause the people they want more of this
Suckers they be saying they can take out Adam Horovitz
Hurricane you got clout
Other DJ's he'll take your head out
A puppet on a string I'm paid to sing or rhyme
Or do my thing I'm
In a lava lamp inside my brain hotel
I might be peakin' or freakin' but I rock well
The Patty Duke the wrench and then I bust the tango
Got more rhymes than Jamaica got Mango Kangols
I got the peg leg at the end of my stump
Shake your rump

Full Clout y'all
Full Clout y'all
And when the mic is in my mouth I turn it out y'all
Full Clout

Never been dumped 'cause I'm the most mackinest
Never been jumped 'cause I'm known the most packinest
Yeah we've got beef chief
We're knocking out teeth chief
And if you don't believe us you should question your belief Keith
Like Sam the butcher bringing Alice the meat
Like Fred Flintstone driving around with bald feet
Should I have another sip no skip it
In the back of the ride and bust with the whippet
Rope a dope dookies all around the neck
Whoo ha got them all in check
Running from the law the press and the parents
Is your name Michael Diamond?
No mine's Clarence
From downtown Manhattan the village
My style is wild and you know that it still is
Disco bag schlepping and you're doing the bump
Shake your rump

Agreed. The show has just stopped being funny...
>> ^JiggaJonson:

meh. Another hamfisted attempt at humor to fill time.
Woulda been slightly funnier if quagmire was pulling the beads and then quietly did his trademark "allriiight."
Seriously, this is why Family Guy keeps going down hill. No one thinks it's funny when you explain the joke you just told.

If the people in the video are French than I think it should count because after all they are French. Also French Canadians and even French Cajuns I think should count because they are descendants and the culture must be influenced as in Mardis Gras in New Orleans. I had a playlist already filled with videos most of the ones of yours that were placed in the channel were automatically placed there via siftbot out of that playlist.
In reply to this comment by oritteropo:
You know, I did think of putting it in the French channel, they are French and the Cafe is in Paris, but they are singing in English and to me it seems more international.

I have already put quite a few of my sifted and PQ'd vids into French... including one Québécois singing in French You were very quick off the mark, half the ones I was going to add were already done.

It's Mardi Gras weekend down here . . . counting down 'til TUESDAY!

Not my business I know, but ya know me, Im gonna say it anyhow sooo here it goes If changed, like this, its like your speaking in someone elses voice, this is not your voice... It may not be "correct" it is however you, your manner of speaking/communicating in writing. To me its like a vocalist using one of those stupid auto-tune things to change their voice, or syncing to another singers sound. Do not change what there is nothing wrong with, when your lips move, when your fingers touch a keyboard or a pen and paper, THAT is the only voice that should come out, Yours..

Here you go, you owe me a pot brownie. It's still a little foreboding. I still think you could pare this down quite a bit. When is the deadline for this comment?

NetRunner,
I'll take "I didn't mean to offend you" as an apology for calling schmawy, rasch and myself passive aggressive cowards who dare not say something to your face. You really don't understand, do you? sighs I say this with all sincerity and in the most human way.
What was between you and choggie was only between you and choggie.
Same as with kronos and others. It is not only unfair to lump schmawy, rasch and I into that polemic, but also dishonest. You have even stated, yourself, that we don't have issues with each other - well at least i know i didn't until you called me a pussy - yet you continue to miss the point; a point i grow weary of having to make over and over and over and over and over and over and over due to your prejudices concerning choggie.
I TOTALLY get he was a cock to you and others. I am not dismissing that, nor am I condoning choggie's actions in that regard. I never have, and neither has schmawy or rasch (as far as I know). What you failed to realize in my multitude of posts, is the truth of what I was speaking and that it had only a fraction to do with choggie. Maybe you don't think I am smart enough to make these observations? Maybe the mere mention of the word "choggie" blinds you to them because of your adversarial past with him. I do not know Netrunner, but that is your path to walk. What i DO know, is that what I was trying to say to everyone -which apparently wasn't clear enough based on the responses- is that there is a danger in like-mindedness.
Now we could talk for days about the intricacies of choggie, good and ill, but we are beyond that now. The thing that choggie fought for, though misguided and rudely most of the time, was, and is STILL, a noble thing to fight for.
I see so many people on this site berate (myself included) fundamentalist Christians...
Why? Why do we berate them? Is it ONLY because they seem so close minded? Or that they refuse to recognize facts which may disagree with their dogma? Well of course!.... or at least partially, but the real danger with a fundamentalist is the STAGNATION. The stagnation of mind and spirit. It is death. A very slow and drawn out death.
Would you like to now one of my favorite tactics? (which of course now I am going to have to change since I am posting it here.) I will put out an opposing argument - not because I actually believe that argument, because many times i don't. No..the reason I do that is force someone to challenge my argument, and in doing so, having to defend their own. It also forces them to THINK about how they came to that conclusion, and, in turn, reveals their own thought processes. If they didn't come up with the argument in the first place, then I can easily dismantle it because knowing WHAT means little without the WHY. I vote for every one of blankfists libertarian videos. Does this mean I am libertarian?
No. But, because the sift has become a place where votes are more for "agreement" than for quality or value, many times an unpopular political video needs to be heard, even if I disagree with it. I give away votes like beads to busty co-eds at Mardi Gras. Does this mean I "agree" with every video's content?
Hell. Fucking. No.
There is nothing more satisfying than poppin a vid with 9 votes, or helping a new sifter get a star, or doing a pq dive and finding a gem I can promote; or having a heated argument over something I care about with people I respect. These are good things. Things that make this place special.
You felt that choggie tried to silence you, and that had to have been a crappy feeling, and one that would have pissed me off too. Now imagine being new here and posting a video that gets laughed at and mocked with snide remarks. You are new, and you thought people would love your new christian rock video. I have often seen people shunned and berated for posting things that others either disagree or find laughable, and all it takes is the ONE comment..just one to get the ball rolling and then it's like, "hey whatever happened to so and so?" Am I accusing you of this? No, I've not seen you behave in that manner, but others do. Who are we to judge the value of another's passions, joys or interests as being worthy or unworthy? We should be voting on quality, not to ostracize.
I hope I have made myself clear. If i haven't? Well then kiss my rebel minister ass, cuz I is done with this topic, bitchez.
We cool NetRunner?
Go in peace brother.
Namaste.

You're presupposing that I think capitalism is perfect, I do not. I think it's deplorable when even the minimum wage, maximum working hours, and various safety regulations mandated in developing countries such as China are not abided to by local businesses. Nothing is black and white though. In some cases it is greedy local businessmen who want to extract additional profit illegally from their enterprise, in other cases it is the incredible competitive pressure from multinationals and that fact that it is either these working conditions or no employment at all.

Imagining your obvious response, you would probably say that we need mandated wages and working standards for all corporations globally under threat of massive fines. Ignoring the fact that is simply implausible, and no country would by themselves agree to this unless everyone else was willing to abide to it, imagine what would happen. The result would be, the least educated and the worst off around the world, the countries with a lack of infrastructure or a particularly stable government will simply be entirely passed up. No corporation would pay them the same as they would for someone marginally more educated, and there is no shortage of impoverished people in the world looking for jobs. So, I ask you, how would they be better off?

You haven't addressed my point though, do you disgree that average wages, and living standards were better after 1979 in China?

>> ^rougy:
>> ^RedSky:
Yes, because China before 1979 and Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms and trade liberalisation was far better off as a whole than it is now.

Yes, because criticizing the fact that the only way most people can live beneath the capitalist rubric is to work like dogs, to produce worthless shit, so that a minority of people can grow filthy rich.
Heaven forbid anybody point that out, or criticize it.
Sorry I bad-mouthed your god, capitalism, which is what it is to you people.
You have come to worship a lifeless system as if it were a deity.
