Mutating meme on "the best of..."




2. The best scary movie in scientific dystopias is:


3. The best cult novel in American fiction is:


4. The best sexy song in pop is:


I wanna turn you on and excite ya.
So when your man don't treat you like he used ta,
I kick in like a turbo-boosta.
You want lovin', you don't have to ask when.
Your man's a headache? I'll be your aspirin.
All confusions, you know I'll solve 'em.
How long you had that problem?



  1. "I Got a Man" by Positive K.

    Ha, stereotype accuracy. "Having studied White People for 27 years, my authority on the topic is absolute; this list is damn near bullet proof."

  2. Heh, I never knew that "I Got a Man" specifically would be on such a list, although most of the others aren't surprising.

    Basically, the non-degenerate genres of rap, whose songs are at least half-way danceable, is what White people like. They showcase the good side of Af-Am pop talent: the polygynous, peacocky show-off, as opposed to the polygynous, gorilla-like thug of gangsta rap.

    Kids these days mostly grew up not hearing Digital Underground or Young MC, etc., but when they do, they typically like what they hear. I was hoping that "Hey Ya" was the death knell for gangsta rap, but unfortunately it's still going and going and going and going...
