Rapping English teacher ftw!

When I first started watching this, I was like, "Grrrreat, another white rapper" and rolled my eyes. Because I do that a lot. It's like second nature for me. Unfortinately, my face doesn't hide anything. #KanyeShrug However, this was great. Probably more entertaining than anything I've seen today, certainly more entertaining than all those Shit videos from the previous post. A kid rap battling his English teacher?! Their wordplay was so ill, so clever, so witty. I'm proud of my English brethren. After watching their battle, and the English teaching beating the kid, I think this has helped me determine my career path. See, I've kind of wanted to go back to school for a while, to get some more of those papers, as Shawn Chrys would say, but I can't justify it. I studied English Lit for my BA, and I liked it, so naturally that's probably what I would get my Masters in, even though I would likely be in the same place I'm in now after graduating--blogging for fun. But, what if I went back to school, taught English (I shudder at the thought of that) and then started rapping? Like, what if V-Nasty and Kreayshawn extensively studied literature? Imagine how different they would be. Actually, I'd much rather be a ghostwriter. Being in the shadows and lurking is way more fun. At least I have my life figured out now.

Nicki Minaj, Cher, and Safaree don’t know what a metaphor is

To summarize: someone mistakenly told Cher that Nicki disses her on "Did It On Em," which she didn't, and then everyone is beefing with everyone, and Nicki Minaj's hypeman/boyfriend/clinger-on/alleged beater jumped into the tweet fray for some reason. I don't really know why he is relevant? Especially when he pulled a Chris Brown on Nicki Minaj. Google it if you don't believe me (and it's all that more ironic, considering that he's talking about what a great person he is....right). If you could turn back time, Cher You used to be here, now you're gone, Nair You know, let's not make this hashtag flow fancier than it needs to be. I studied this shit in college, and that's not even a metaphor. Dictionary.com defines "metaphor" as "a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in 'A mighty fortress is our God.'" Allow me to stress the fact that a hashtag flow is not the same as a metaphor. I would make some dig at Safaree for misspelling METAPHORE, but it's obvious enough that he doesn't know what one is anyway. I can't respect him if he doesn't know what a metaphor is. Why am I posting about this? I don't know. Because it makes all parties involved look stupid? Nicki and Safaree are making Cher look stupid, but in actuality are making themselves look even more stupid. Aren't people better than beefing on Twitter? I like to believe that, but sometimes, I'm not too sure. Spotted at Rap-Up
