Slog - Comments on DJ Paul Is A Dog... http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/03/dj_paul_is_a_do Yeeeahh! I just wanna send a congratu-fuckin-lations to Three 6 Mafia- who not only had 2005's best song in "Stay Fly", but tonight won a goddamn Oscar. Not bad for a druggy, thuggy Memphis rap crew with Satanic affectations. For a sec I thought it was just a promethazine-induced fantasy....

Three Six is a Memphis rap group. That pic you posted is actually from the first CD of theirs I bought. They also put out the B.O.N.E.D.I.S. tape, which they hussled straight out of their trunk. I'm stoked for them winning an award. They could really use the exposure.

If a white woman were singing a song complainging about how difficult it is to sell black men..... well.

Did you even see the movie?

What exactly was redeeming/edifying about the pimp song/presentation for the African American community? I was embarassed (sp?) for Queen Latifa, who I have always seen as a class act, having to follow their song, mumbling some apologetic thing about "chitty-chitty-bang-bang." I believe there's a time and place for everything (MTV2 maybe?), and I just saw their show as tasteless.

But these guys aren't supposed to broach the subject in their respective medium and receive any recognition, right?
