This past Sunday, while you were planning your extra weekend night of boozing and over-eating instead of resting, Lil Wayne (Little? Isn't he, like, 30?) released a new mixtape, "Dedication 4," (I thought mixtapes ended after Funkmaster Flex ... ) featuring Nicki Minaj -- the over-sexed, Trinidad-born rapping clown. You wouldn't know her by her given name, Onika Tanya Maraj.
Enter Mitt Romney. Yeah, Mitt Romney, the billionaire robot swarming your newspapers, televisions, news-feeds and eardrums until November, well hopefully talk of him stops in November when he loses.
Nicki Minaj + Mitt Romney ... first thoughts? Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was a sex scandal? It's the cliche tight-ass billionaire with a freaky, deaky, black chick on the side. Classic. Lemme get a taste of that sweet, sweet brown sugar baby. Just don't tell Ann.
We're not so lucky. Truth to be told, Nicki Minaj included a couple lines about ole Mitt on Lil Wayne's new release:
"I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney. You lazy bitches are fucking up the economy."
I smell b.s. Minaj's Ode to Romney is not so much an endorsement as it is an example of the outrageous nature of the current state of rap. Rap started with lyrics about being a cop killer or hardcore thug with guns, drugs and street credit (how white do I sound?) and it's morphed into an over-produced mash of commercial nonsense saturated with outrageous claims of numerous sexual partners, partying nonstop and having no plans to become a hardworking, contributing member of society.
It's about popping bottles in the VIP section at the club with your crew, flying first class and wearing all the latest and greatest apparel. Utter nonsense.
Let me see your grill.
Minaj also let this endorsement slip because it's another grasp for attention by a woman who regularly dons neon makeup, costumes and wigs. Hello! Hello! Look at me! I'm a walking, talking gimmick. And, also, to get attention so people buy the mixtape she's selling.
In the song, Minaji goes on to say, "Out in Miami, I be chillin with a zombie." So ... there's that. She's obviously a deep-thinking, political mind in the body of a disturbing muppet character. Maybe that's a way to get the youth of America interested in politics. Oversexed muppet characters ... like "Sesame Street" using puppets to interest children in reading and learning.
My main issue over Minaj is she's irresponsible, especially if the rumors are true and she is an unregistered voter and an Obama supporter.
She has Tweeted @BarackObama: "Just give FREE health care to all" and "I wouldn't mind the millions they took if it was going to healthcare. Why should a poor person struggle to pay for MEDS sir?"
Yes, it's sad there are thousands out there who will listen to whatever this celebrity or that celebrity says like lemmings but it's the truth. We are knee-deep in a culture of worshipping reality stars and singers instead of Nobel Prize winners, authors or scientists. We are breeding a race of morons (watch "Idiocracy," it's hilarious and also eerily frightening).
Why couldn't Minaj include a couple phrases about getting a job, having self-respect and self-esteem, not bullying others, studying hard in school ... you know, anything productive! Sounds like some Will Smith lyrics, the fresh prince of politeness.
Yeah, here I am with a blog spouting blubbering cynicism but I'm not a celebrity with millions listening, eager to know who and what I endorse. I'm a sarcastic tomboy trying to vent.
Speaking of Minaj, don't get me started on Hank Williams Jr. and his absurd, irresponsible claims. Just shut up and sing your silly songs about smoking, drinking and being a country boy. The scariest part is there are Americans drinking his Kool-Aid. Yikes. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife!
Also, Chuck Norris and his wife, Gena, created a YouTube video encouraging evangelical Christians to vote for Romney. Apparently we are on the brink of Socialism or something worse (couldn't think of another fear monger word Chucky Boy?) and our children will be sentenced to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness (quoting a 1964 speech by Ronald Reagan).
Cue the circus music.
