SPONGEBOB IS GANGSTA!!! HE HAS MONEYS!!!

NO NEEDING FOR PANIC, GANGSTA SPONGEBOB IS GIVING YOU THUMBS UP! GOOD!

Basically a 14 year old boy got his ass beat by some kids who listened to fifty cent. Now he’s suing 50, Universal and anyone who looks at him wrong. Dude I feel the same way. One time I was going for a jog and 50 cent came on and for some reason I had an urge to stab someone. Eventually the song ended and I was not able to find a sharp enough knife, but what if I did? I hate you 50!!!!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hip hop mogul 50 Cent, Universal Music Group and several of its record labels were sued on Wednesday for promoting a “gangsta lifestyle” by a 14-year-old boy who says friends of the rapper assaulted him.

The lawsuit filed by James Rosemond and his mother, Cynthia Reed, says Universal Music Group — owned by Vivendi SA — and its labels Interscope Records, G-Unit Records and Shady Records, bear responsibility for the assault because they encourage artists to pursue violent, criminal lifestyles.

The lawsuit also names 50 Cent — whose real name is Curtis Jackson — Violator Management, Violator CEO Chris Lighty, Tony Yayo, a rapper and a member of 50 Cent’s G-Unit hip hop group, and Lowell Fletcher, an employee of Yayo.

So some Houston police officer got suspended for co-creating and distributing what essentially sounds like a Eubonics-to-Standard English translation ‘zine, with pictures. And folks are up in arms. I don’t really want to chime in on the topic of the Ghetto Handbook until i see a copy for myself, so I’ll hold off on my opinion for a minute.

The booklet billed itself as a guide to Ebonics, teaching the reader to speak “as if you just came out of the hood.” It included definitions such as “foty: a 40-ounce bottle of beer”; “aks: to ask a question”; and “hoodrat: scummy girl.”

Again, I haven’t seen the booklet or its pictures so this could be taken out of context, but the above-quote doesn’t seem insulting or degrading to me. What do you think? Last year I had to explain to my uncle what a forty was. One of my favorite shows Futurama uses ‘aks’ in their futuristic Standard English. And there are far worse terms for scummy girls than hoodrats. Maybe the pictures are on some shit or something.

Personally, I just say they should have passed the cops copies of Aye Jay’s Gangsta Rap Coloring Book instead.
