Politics & Current Events

I suppose it’s ok to say what we really think of Barack Obama.

What does “cakeboy” even mean? I live in the south, and while I thought I’d heard every imaginable slur, this is a new one on me.

    But then it may be some reflection of the progress we’ve made that Blackfive didn’t dress Obama in a Tarzan loincloth, prison stripes, a steppinfetchit suit, or an organ grinder monkey’s outfit.

    Well, it linked to a song by Sir Mix-a-lot. Maybe that explains something.

    They need to work on their photochop skills though.

    Cakeboy = “Lacking substance man”? I dunno.

    Photoshop/chop needs to be left to more capable hands, for show.

    Google informs me that the term is a reference to homosexuality, and that the term was indeed popularized by Sir Mix-a-Lot. That would explain a lot about the Blackfive post I linked. Only a man living in the stone ages would use a Mix-a-Lot reference to show that he’s hip.

    Sir Mix-a-Lot isn’t fit to carry Bismark-e’s jockstrap.

    Generally I would agree. The Biz is the greatest. However, it’s difficult to really gauge the two against each other, the Biz is more concerned with being the Clown Prince of Rap, whilst Mix is more of a straight-ahead rapper (though with a singular focus on a certain subject)

    However, if you are going to use Mix to make a point, you can only really use one song. And name dropping THAT song is never out of style, playa.

    I am appalled that you would link to a vapid douchenozzle like Blackfive from here.
