I hate when old people do this.
Suggested Reading
You know the thing where they try to show that they are hip and not old and they wade into the hip waters and start throwing โjiggyโ into their normal conversations except they pause right after they use the word for acknowledgment that they are in fact โcool.โ
Itโs secondhand embarrassing AF. Itโs cringey. Itโs totally a fanny pack worn because itโs convenient when traveling only learning that young people are doing it, too. Itโs orthopedic shoes for comfort that just so happen to look like those big ass Balenciagas.
I like things to be what they are asย I like my oatmeal and women thick and my old people, old.
So there are words that should never go together like, โsocial influencer Osama Bin Ladenโ and โJoe Bidenโs campaign launches a battle rap ad.โ
Goddamnit, Joe. There is a basement in your home for a reason: Go sit in it and eat your dinner off the TV tray in front of you around the time that Judge Judy comes on and let Kamala handle this. Because I assure you a few things: Yes, Kamala claims that Tupac is her favorite living rapper, but she didnโt sign off on this.
According to a magazine named after President Trumpโs adult diaper size, XXL:
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate for vice president, Senator Kamala Harris, have joined forces with the Ultimate Rap League (URL) to emphasize the importance of voting on Nov. 3 in a unique and untraditional, yet conceivable manner.
Goddamnit Kamala! Not you! You went to Howard University, for Christโs sake.
An aside: In third grade I ran for Sergeant at Arms of my class. I delivered a rap-speech that my parents wrote. I remember one campaign poster that read โBreakinโ, Poppinโ, thereโs no stoppinโ Stephen Crockett for Sgt. at Armsโ the poster showed me breakdancing. This was 1984 and was also the last successful merger between hip-hop and politics.
Also from the magazine named after the White House toilet, XXL:
โSo, when you tell me to go and vote, go and vote/Well, the reason why itโs such a hard one/โCause how we expect our people to get jobs and the president canโt even get the job done,โ Charlie Clips spits to DNA halfway through the campaign ad. While the initial scene of the ad takes place on a basketball court in Washington, D.C., near Howard University, the visual later transitions to the two men standing feet away from the White House.โSo, you think because you brought me here that Iโm just supposed to confide in Biden?/What about the innocent Blacks that get snatched out of their car just for riding?/We donโt even ask for much/All we do is ask for respect/Before they did what they did to George Floyd/This country had they foot on our necks/Now, do you understand why Iโm upset?โ Clips rhymes.โI feel you/โCause every time we throw the system a uppercut, all they give us in return is low blows/But Biden and Harris got a plan to outlaw the chokehold/Itโs inspiring/Donald Trump is The Apprentice/But now itโs our turn to do the firing,โ DNA responds off the top of the dome.
