Just An Everyday Normal Guy

So when I was in high school, the Beastie Boys were the s#*@ OK. I was also into Run DMC and some of those other what are considered now to be old school rappers. When gangsta rap hit the scene with NWA, etc., I didn't really stay with it as I had. Not that I despised it, but perhaps I'd just outgrown it some and couldn't quite relate to the bluntness of everyday life that was being described in songs like "Boyz in the Hood" (or is it "da" hood?). Anyway, the rap scene these days (or hip-hop or however the hell you wanna categorize it) has changed quite a bit. It's all about bitches, hoes, pimps, mo' money, bling, calling people muthaf---uhs and ... well you get the idea. The video below takes all these "high-level" concepts and puts a new spin on it. Careful where you watch this, since there's enough MF bombs dropped to blow up a major city. "I get nervous in social situations, muthaf---uh!!!"

John, you have to watch this shit! The guy at the end sounds like an impersonation you do. Am I wrong?

. . . and I'm pretty good at making paper planes!

That was too damn funny. I am just an ordinary average guy too, but I don't think I could ever rap it as well as this guy did!
