Hip-hop star KANYE WEST is advising his white counterparts that they can only use certain slang terms when they're out of style for black people.
The JESUS WALKS rapper - who recently charged that US President GEORGE W BUSH "doesn't care" about African Americans - believes that certain slang words should only be able to cross racial barriers when they're no longer in style for black people.
He says, "I think white people are allowed to say 'bling'. They are allowed to say old-school black slang, like 'hottie' and 'homie'.
"Actually, I do not think that (white people) are allowed to use slang until it is at least a year old. If you say a slang word too early, it's like you're trying to be black. So as long as the slang is a little played out, you're all good."

His fifteen minutes were up half an hour before he first started yapping. :)
What we are all witnessing is reverse racism at its finest folks. Let him talk all he wants about ole "whitey"....he don't mean no harm.
yeah see, i agree but there are some that are just too old for even us white people to use... i'll give you an example:
"Kanye West is my homie..." you see, that doesn't quite have "teh ring" to it, right? However,
"Kanye West is my uneducated, ignorant dumbass..."
Now, doesn't that just flow much smoother???
Remember the Road Runner cartoon with Wile E Coyote--Genius?
Kanye West --- Genius!
Right on straight up and solid.
(I watch waaaay too much CSI)
Can I say "word to your mother" or is that now making a comeback from what will be a retro-rap craze and unacceptable to Pravrap editor kanye west, since I'm an evil white person.
Stop right there, I have an issue with the veracity of this sentence.
This is the man who graced the cover of TIME magazine as "Hip-Hop's Class Act" on 29 August, 2005.
If the word git play, you must not say.
I'm "allowed" to say whatever I want, dickhead.
Obviously this Kayne West klown has some intelligence and marketability (talent?) to rise to the top of the dog eat dog music business. But in the common sense and logic departments he's a retard. He just opens up his big trap and all kinds of stupid stuff flies out. Well, he's having a ball and has women begging him to boink them so I guess it all computes on a carnal level.
"Right on straight up and solid."
I believe the correct way to use that word is "skraight".
"He doesn't want white people to use terms blacks use. Hmmmm. Sounds racist to me...."
Hey, don't sweat it, "yo"... This guy can't hold a candle to Vanilla Ice... "word to ya mutha"
Word up.
I am not sure why people wish to use the ghetto vernacular, it is such a poor use of the language, and quite demeaning to the speaker who uses it.
Fo shizzle ma pizzle
So, is Kayne West the illegitimate son of Cornel West?
(I still watch too much CSI)
