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."

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!

They're either dwarfs or little people,
But not midgets."

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.

I'm "allowed" to say whatever I want, dickhead.

Coming from the guy who was on the cover of Newsweek (Time?), where they said something to the effect that he was the "new face" (ie 'clean') face of rap music.

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.

I believe the correct way to use that word is "skraight".

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.

So, is Kayne West the illegitimate son of Cornel West?
