The thing is, you could take the N word out and this song really applies to people of all races – and quite honestly, I know far too many wealthy Caucasians who don’t read enough. Clean this song up and you could just present it to any high schooler who thinks they know it all!

I think this was probably the best thing to come from rap or hip hop poetry… or whatever it is. I was getting pretty tired of hearing about how drugs and being a true ‘gangsta’ are the things to do and this made me laugh and hope people took it to heart. I’ve heard people argue that its racist and such but I don’t believe it is, I think its just talking about the lifestyle of younger people today. Plus I know plenty of black, spanish, asian AND white people alike who need to read a god damn book!

Why do I get the impression that the previous posters and the original poster haven’t been out of their nice neighborhoods? I get the video, its funny sure, but its also a smart-arsed call to arms to respect one’s self and get your shiat together. People need a good smack to the forehead to start respecting themselves. That means seeking some knowledge, taking care of your family, and being responsible for yourself. I grew up in a black community being torn down by this irresponsible idea of what’s ok. I see this guy saying that, dayum, stop it, take a shower, and do something to improve ya’self. You live long enough in some impoverished and declining communities and you get the picture. Christine, I think you’re seeing just the people and not the problem.

I think the parts about wearing deodorant and brushing teeth were intended to lighten the song up a bit, and take some weight off the fairly heavy underlying message. I’m black but not from the inner city; most of the blacks I know don’t have any hygiene problems.

the “Drink water” schpeil stems from the fact that a large percentage of not only black people, but other races too, consume more unhealthy substances, especially alcohol, than water.

I think the water verse is about the enormous quantities of Coke and Pepsi that are consumed by youth. This isn’t a white/black thing at all, but a youth thing.

As respectfully and as formally as I am capable, I will say that indeed the majority of at least African Americans in the “dirty south” need to listen and adhere to this song. My friend and I saw this video channel surfing the other night and we exploded with laughter because its so true. I love black people, but let’s not forget that steriotypes do exist for a reason; they are a correct generalization of habits and ideas reflected in a group of people. Honestly, most of the African American people I am around do not invest themselves wisely in education, hygiene, or proper parenting; I, however, know plenty of teenagers (regaurdless of race) that partake in a plethera of drugs.
