This post was inspired by that incredibly annoying Heineken commercial, which uses the even more annoying rap song or r&b song with the lyrics “Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don’t you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?”
Yeah… that’s how ridiculously stupid rap lyrics are nowadays. I mean, who the hell really wants their girlfriend to be a freak? Call me crazy, but if I were looking for a girlfriend, the last place I would look would be a circus sideshow. I’d want my girlfriend to be aesthetically pleasing rather than hideously deformed.
Back in the day rap artists told a story, or made a point about their white oppressors and the police. Now, between wanting freak girlfriends and calling body parts by a candy bar (laffy taffy), I think it’s safe to say that the entire rap music genre has jumped the shark.
Hello, Sir Mix A Lot here…most people know me for my hit song, “Baby Got Back”. What most people don’t realize is that I had a pretty hilarious rap album long before that called “Swass”. You can look it up on iTunes or Napster or whatever if you don’t believe me. It features such classics as “Bremelo”, “My Posse’s on Broadway”, and “Square Dance Rap”.
But more to the point…The song that you mention here from the Heineken commercial is stolen from one of the songs on my Swass album. . . give it a listen and tell me what you think. The actual lyric is “Don’t you wish your boygriend was Swass like me” and so-on. You’ll know it when you hear it. My good friend Jon Smith has the Swass CD if you want to borrow it.
Peace.

Wow… if only all my friends knew that Sir Mix A Lot is an avid reader of my blog… I’d be “the guy who’s blog Sir Mix A Lot is an avid reader of.”
And how bout Jon Smith being good friends with one of the pioneers of rap? That’s just freaken Smithtastic!
