RFK

New rule: White people are not allowed to edit Wikipedia articles about rap.

Example 1: Yet they still manage to retain hardcore themes, such as their desire to have women (preferably with a tongue ring) perform fellatio on them (Track 12: Tongue Ring), gang affiliations (Track 21: Put Ya Signs), smoking marijuana (Track 6: I'm So Hi), as well as many other themes throughout the album.

from When The Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1

Example 2: The music video includes several moments of surreal imagery. In one notable scene, Ludacris meets a young groupie. She appears more than delighted with her new catch. Viewers may ascertain that she is from out of town and thus unaware of the threat posed by the giant chicken she is eating. She attempts to initiate a passionate kiss but the make-out session is interrupted when her butt starts growing like crazy.

from Stand Up

On a side note, because of this post I just found out that it's now impossible to Google search pictures of "white people" because everything that pops up is from stuffwhitepeoplelike.com(San Francisco, coffee, The Wire season 3 DVD). That's the 21st Century white man's burden.

update:
Example 3:

The song tells a story in which Warren G., while looking for some "skirts" (women), is mugged in Long Beach, California. Nate Dogg is trying to find Warren G. at the same time, and when he finds that Warren G. is getting mugged, he kills the people mugging him. The two then look for women together, whom they eventually find. The term regulate means to lay down the law by using force, or to return things to their normal status. The goal of a regulator is to eliminate an overly dramatic or dangerous situation. The song popularized the term "Regulators! mount up" which is now often said by Dog the Bounty Hunter, which is a line taken from the movie Young Guns (the first 3 lines heard in the song are sampled from the movie)

from Regulate

This one is not just dorky, but ruins a great song. They just had to bring up Young Guns? How can I enjoy Nate Dogg's smooth-ass hooks when all I can think of is Lou Diamond Phillip's portrayal of Jose Chavez y Chavez?
