What does this have to do with politics? Everything. “All of my blog posts are political blog posts,” Bob Dylan once said, and this is true. All of the WSJ’s punny wordsmithery is political punny wordsmithery: “Hip-hop luminaries with the cash to keep it real are appalled. Bling aficionados fret that the art of ‘ice’ is being watered down.” NOOOOO! [WSJ]

I see that Michael “Hip-Hop” Steele now writes headlines for the WSJ.
Little known fact: The WSJ is the most widely-read publication in hip-hop. Dr. Dre strongly considered taking a position as a columnist there. True story. Also.
I knew this would happen so I sank all my extra cash into Obama commemorative plates.
The Wazzle Strizzle Jizzle — all the nizzle that’s fizzle to prizzle.
But we can still haz Blingee’s right?
[re=324642]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Fo Shizzle, my dizzle…
Everything Rupert Murdoch touches ends up looking like a myspace page.
[re=324642]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Everyone else loses to this fine entry.
It’s hard to rhyme with cubic zirconia.
Bling doesn’t exactly “clang”, it makes more of a clank, really.
[re=324642]SayItWithWookies[/re]: What is this strange language you speak, Wookieman? Your furry ways frighten me. Can I get a Pat Boone version of this?
Does it clang or does it melt?
And people wonder why papers are dying.
I guess that’s why they call it the Wall [i]Street[/i] Journal.
Tomorrow’s headline:
________________________.
Henceforth, all tats will be “jailhouse” from now on, fashioned with Bic pens and old transistors.
[re=324642]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Oh Wooks, you’re a scream. (One of my dogs is very concerned about my reaction to your comment.)
[re=324660]hobospacejunkie[/re]: It’s a play on the NYT motto, “all the news that’s fit to print.” Just updated for those cool cats at the WSJ.

You’re a fine lady
I wanna put my bone in ya
So don’t be lookin’ askance
At my cubic zirconia.
This spells the end of plans for an Ebonics edition of OpinionJournal.
Makes sense. The average WSJ reader’s interest in politics, like so many other things, is predicated upon a general fear of black people.
When will the misogynistic, anti-education (which is the main theme of Kanye’s first two albums), anti-gay, gun-loving, materialistic egoists that dominate rap go Republican?
I knew the recession was real when Ghostface Killah melted down his solid gold arm eagle!
I now comprehend what Prodigy meant when he observed: “It’s like fee, fie, foe, fum, I smell the blood of a jealous ass punk.” And the negative criticism directed at Michael Steel! Mase said it best: “Young, black, and famous, with money hanging out the anus.”
Well, I still like their pictures.
Won’t be quite so uppity now, will they?
[re=324658]19kevin8[/re]: Actually, I think it’s more like “plink.”
I just threw up in my grill a little.
Bling? Bling? Y’all bizzles feel a need for bling? I’ll show you some real bling.
Have you seen those God-botherers speaking in tongues and holdin’ fervent prayer meetin’s at Forward Fire Bases, yo?
While you elitist cry-babies have been busy whining about our patriotic enhanced interrogation techniques for their evil fundamentalist fuckheads and fawning over Teh Black Arab Muslin, our evil fundamentalist fuckheads have been hard at work over in Eyerack – recruitin’ our Army for their Army – er. His Army. That way our young grunts can do His work and continue protecting the precious essential ‘Merican values upon which our great nation was built…you know, like separation of church and state. The Crusader-In-Chief may have shuffled off to Highland Park, but by Gawd the Christ-tards are keeping his memory alive.
Progress is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?
So as I understand it, emcees ain’t got the Benjamins for bling, so anybody looks like they flossing, they fronting. Aight?
And I thought ‘Ice’ was one of those strange new drugs I didn’t understand. If it is, how do you take it?
Finally, Murdoch is getting the Journal to look like a real news paper. I can’t wait until he puts naked pictures of the FBN money bunnies on page 3.
Funny how these guys either have big roman numerals after their “government names” or have some kind of Merchant-Ivory middle name. Is that what drives one to the heights of gansta success? The fear of being called Trey?
[re=324686]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
Rappers use the word askance?
[re=324920]Tommmcatt[/re]: At least this one does. I’m sure there are more, but I’ll be damned if I’m sifting through rap lyrics.
but didnt dylan kick phil ochs out of his car for being too politicsy
[re=324775]agitpropster[/re]: THAT shit is freakin’ scary…
And I thought 9/11 changed life as we knew it.
