I laughed all the way through your rant. I knows you. When you rants like that it be some funny but you be so deep, unimpressed by the bling, you be looking at the ass around whose neck the stuff be slinged, and you be, like, pointing out, hey the dick-ass got diamonds on!!!!
Right on for the right on of keeping it real. I'm glad you acknowledged that Kanye is clever and gladder that you pointed out that he's using that cleverness to justify wearing his bling. What I was a bit uncomfortable about, you put your foot up and drop kicked back to EMPD where he stole some of his stuff (and before any of our readers ask, I will ask: if Kanye stole it, is it still his/theirs?).
Mtume, I really like that you do that Tonto shit and asked, Kanye what you mean 'we,' 'cause after all it's the Long Ranger's television show-yeah, Kanye make money off of all of that! It's the old, nouveau-rich bullshit, playing the race card to cover their class collaborations. Now BOTH (them and 'the white man') be fleecing the working class.
OK, it's early in the morning and I'm about to post this shit and all I can say is: Mtume, you a whip. Thanks for putting my enthusiasm in check. Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the bling-bling bite.
Peaceeeeee. (...in the village, but there's war in the world).

PS-Kanye, we hear from our cousins over in England that you read the haters on the internet, so if you're reading this: we will be glad to post any response (clean/or down-dirty) that you might want to spit.
PPS-One last question: would Jesus wear diamonds?
