and even namechecks Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea and Elvis Presley for appropriating black culture, along with himself.

And does it in a rap. The idiocy of calling out other people for appropriating other cultures while doing it yourself is beyond belief.

The whole thing is nonsense, anyway - of course Elvis, the Beatles, the Stones borrowed from black pioneers of rock & roll and blues - but Robert Johnson was playing a guitar, not an African musical instrument. Rap, as well as rock & roll, came from an environment created by people of a lot of different races, and we've gotten some great music from that melting-pot. It's notable that so many of today's ethnic-purity freaks and segregationists are liberals.

He's ripping off "Third Base" a white rap group that did "Pop Goes the Weasel", which was an attack on Vanilla Ice.
