It's interesting that MB members have chosen to pounce on a thread about a white female rapper to criticize "regular" words that have been altered and turned into jargon by the general hip-hop community.
Have you noticed that many common English words have been appropriated and used "wrongly" by rappers for about four decades?

I'm sure Your facebook page is full of rap fans who agree with you. (Ha!)
This gives me even more reason to track down Kreashawn when she comes to my town for SXSW 2012. Among other things, I want to know what she thinks of you guys' racially and sexually motivated criticism of her word choice.
