Do something tough guy, who the fuck won die?

Let me rephrase that......what is cornier in general: bitchboy whiteys that don't think regular america is cool or refined enough to rep their tunes with, or ice-nigga black guys that can only relate to white guys if the white guys are famous for organized crime/murder.

And list exceptions, because I know there are a lot of *good* artists that do this too.

Exceptions: 1. Magoo, who is GOLD in the quotables dept, once said, "not italiano, but still Gambino". 2. Malkmus is putting it on thick in "Conduit For Sale" but it's a pretty hot track.

Lets through in Canadians who can't chill north of the border post 1980.

Oh crap, good one minna......can we give all of Wu immunity?

Nah, Ramosi, be ruthless -- ya gotta spare someone from the ax, but someone else has to go down.

I think "Conduit for Sale" is meant to be some kind of 19th century central California accent. I like Green Day better than Magoo (who isn't from New York, is he?) or the Wu-Gambinos.

Magoo deserves a concrete waistcoat for most of his output, especially that dreadful "Here We Go" track from a few years back.

I'd give it to the US-Britters. Nothing better than a bunch of 19 year old Orange County oiks trying to channel the Buzzcocks.
