Three quick things

First, I'm not saying that Kanye 'stole' anything from EPMD. What I am saying is, years ago EPMD put out a hit record named "Gold Digger" about, what else, money-hungry females. It's not as much stealing as it's just some unoriginal shit for Kanye to rehash after all this time, particularly given that Kanye is, as we all know, a musical genius. (And particularly given that Ludacris just released a song of the same name last year.) And besides, it's not that clever a concept anyway. "I'm rich, so all these hyper-sexed women with giant butts are trying to take my money." How deep. The retort is always the same: but it's true! Maybe it is true. Maybe it isn't. And maybe I just don't give a shit. Keep your sexual problems to yourself, Mr. Rich Rapper Guy. I'm not your therapist. Second, in your response, you may have lost those who don't know the joke. So for those who don't know, the joke is as follows. One fine afternoon, Tonto and the Lone Ranger were out Lone Rangering when they suddenly found themselves surrounded by an armed band of hostile Indians. The Lone Ranger turned to his faithful sidekick Tonto and said, "Well, Tonto. It looks like they have us surrounded. What are we going to do?" To which Tonto replied, "What do you mean 'we,' white man?"

Third, to answer your last question: No.
