Bill Maher Stand Up - Rap Translations

djsunkidsays...

Here's a link to the lyrics of the first track:
Notorious B.I.G. - Fuck You Tonight
It's so crude I'm not even going to cut and paste. I will say this though- he doesn't so much translate as "boil down". What about the other two?

OK, at a glance, it looks like snoop dogg - get jiggy wit' my nine is a totally made up song. I'm looking into it a bit more now...

The word jiggy does not appear on Snoop Dogg's discography. Not surprising given that "jiggy" seems to have been made up by will smith. ... just sayin...

Homeslice? What is this, 1992? Are you vanilla ice? Because you know who isn't? Snoop Dogg isn't.

Finally, Eazy E - 2 Hard Muthas is not even close.

There is plenty of material there. But he didn't even try. I don't think he has ever even heard the song.

... He seemed like a pretentious, stuck-up asshat the first time I watched it, but it was vaguely amusing. Watch it a second time, and think "he just made these songs up" and see how he seems to you.

To me, he seems like the biggest asshole EVER. Total downvote. Fuck this guy. If you're going to make a commentary, do it, but don't be an idiot about it. Fuck.

bamdrewsays...

only my second downvote as a sifter.

certainly nothing personal, oatmeal, as I've notice you put a lot of cool stuff up.

A huge amount of old rock and blues is about drug use, having sex, acting tough, fighting, killing people...
Elvis had a hit song in which he says "I'd rather see you dead, baby-girl, than to be with another man". Rock music was just as juvenile and confrontational as rap can be today, things have just gotten pushed further along.
