...

i'm really sick of everyone e-typing like they're from the hood (or at least hip hop)...

i'm guilty of it too, and i think it's boring, and i want to stop...

stuff like

"fa' sho"

"hecka"

"yo" as in "see you there tonight, yo"

any reference to Hyphy is played out and should go away...

such ironic throwbacks as

"fresh"

"radical"

"bananas"

or "gnarly"

need to be flushed down the toilet

...i'm not sure when it started but it seems like every acoustic singer/songwriter has covered a gangster rap song...and it's just not funny anymore and should stop as soon as possible...

artists i'm really sick of

Mickey Avalon
Lily Allen
Amy Winehouse
Mac Dre
most "DJ's"
Le Tigre
all Southern rap (which has contributed more to the promotion of racial stereotypes than David Duke by reducing rap to a thugged out version of a Stepin Fetchit minstral show (Chicken Dance anyone, WTF?))

flat billed baseball caps bug the hell out of me but they look so nice i'll probably end up buying one

i guess that's all for now...

Which Southern rap are you talking about? Cos there are like dozens of different Southern rap sounds. I mean, the Atlanta and Houston scenes are quite different from each other.

And you can't really accuse Paul Wall of reducing it to a stereotype ...
