Likely Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry claimed Tuesday night that he's a big fan of rap and hip-hop music.

The straight-laced Beacon Hill blue-blood who married into the $700 million Heinz ketchup fortune told MTV, "I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think that there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger - a lot of social energy in it."

Kerry said America's leaders disregard rap music at their peril, telling MTV, "I think you better listen to it pretty carefully because it's important."

Asked about some of the more outrageous lyrics in today's rap songs, Kerry replied, "Do I think some lyrics in some songs have stepped over what I consider to be a reasonable line? Yeah, I do."

He then explained, "I think when you start, you know, talking about killing cops or something like that, it bothers me."

Still, Kerry defended the gangsta rap genre, telling MTV, "I'm still listening because I know that it's a reflection of the street and it's a reflection of life. And I understand all that."

Hello, my fellow friend. My comrad, John Fontleroy Kerry (Lil Flip)is very wealthy. Raise your bottles of fine malt-liquor, preferably 40 in ounce, and toast him, lest he commences fisticuffs resulting in injury. Did you hear?

"Yo, Playa. My homeboy Lil Flip got mad scrilla. Throw up yo foe-ties and recognize lest he break you off something. Ya HEARD!"

a partial translation:

"Excuse me, sir. My dear friend "Lil Flip" (presumably Kerry) has great/extensive (somethingorother). Raise your 40oz container of malt-alcoholic libation in a salute of respect, for otherwise he may well hurt you very badly"

[King Prout]
