“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

get a job, a haircut, and an education...then Oprah will see you

NEW YORK (AP) - Rappers Ludacris and 50 Cent have dissed Oprah Winfrey. Now, Ice Cube has a beef with the talk show queen.
"I've been involved in three projects pitched to her, but I've never been asked to participate."


I'm shocked, shocked I say, to have to consider the possibility that violent, disrespectful, dope-smoking, cop-hating, women-beating, unemployable, gangster thugs might not be the most popular guests for day-time TV viewing...or partnering in business with multi-trillionaires.

I tell you, the end of the popularity of this hard-core, violent rap music can't come soon enough for me.

Blogger's note: Ice Cube is actually not a bad actor and has branched out to become a successful entertainer in various media besides rap music.

I don't have anything personally against these characters but I have real problems with the life-style they promote. If those two things are one in the same...then I guess it's personal.

Ed- I agree, except isn't it Ice T instead of Ice Cube? Hard to keep these cool names straight.

You may be right that I'm thinking of Ice-T. What is it about the word "ice" that is so rap-cool? Ice-T, Ice-Cube, Vanilla Ice...how stupid!

I think you should adopt a cool rap name Nat. It'll give you instant street cred. How does Ice-Nat or Vanilla Nat sound?
