The" Average Homeboy" Video Review Featuring Bubba Sparxxx

By Clyde Singleton

 

There's actually not much interesting going on here. Actually, I was in the middle of UFC's Ultimate Knockouts, and to be quite honest, white people are way gooder at knockin' other white people out in the octagon than they are at making fun of rap. Or hip-hop, whatever it's called. I will give this guy one thing, though: he looks like Rick Springfield. Remember that dude? Wasn't he on General Hospital or some shit? Don't worry, I know tons of white people facts. Get me in Anybar USA and I'll name what's playing on the jukebox before any of my white friends. Lead singer, riffs and all. Oh shit. I know what this statement's gonna cause already. Some white dude proving his whiteness to me. Great. Small hint: I'M NOT WHITE. You win the whiteness contest all day, but not the jukebox game. Or pool. Or darts. Back to this unfunny asshole. So I think he's attempting to make fun of rap/hip-hop and it just comes off all wrong—Fuck! I just missed Tank Abbot lay somebody the fuck out! Oh well. Speaking of white people and rap/hip-hop, did you (or better yet anyone) happen to read the new issue of XXL where Tubba Sparxxx said “nigga”? Holy shit, that's one brave ass white dude! Maybe I should write about that, cause THAT'S some interesting shit right there. Alright. I'm gonna switch it up, cause I really don't dig writing about web videos. Don't they make blogs under the video for that anyways? Back to Tubba.

He didn't name a specific “nigga,” but he damn sure said it. Actually, lemme grab the mag. Hold on... Alright I'm back. After he was asked, “Whose idea was it for another white rapper to drop a single about fat asses ‘Ms. Fat Booty?'” His exact words were, “When it started, it was Mr. Collipark had given me the beat... blah, blah, blah... But at this point it was a novel idea. Then the Ying Yang twins heard it and went ape like, ‘This is the biggest record EVER. It's a pimp record... blah, blah, blah…' Then my nigga Kaine [the loud Ying Yang Twin, that always makes that irritating AAANGH! noise] put the 'bootybootybootybootybooty' on there and I was like 'holy shit.'"

Yep folks. He said the n-bomb. In XXL ! This is hip-hop's #1 publication! Afukkinmazing. This is way gooder than when Corey Duffel called Stevie Williams a “trashy nigger” in Big Brother . And so I got their site, which I just started frequenting because their blogs (which I personally think suck, besides DJ Drama and Tara Henley) has a retraction/apology saying, “It has been brought to our attention that Bubba Sparxxx has denied using the ‘n' word in the 8Ball interview in the May 2006 issue. Upon listening to the tape of our interview, we could not substantiate his use of this word. [But you went to fukkin' print with it? Hmmm?] On behalf of the staff of XXL magazine, we would like to apologize to Bubba Sparxxx for misquoting him in this article and the resulting embarrassment our mistake caused him.”

HA! For anyone in the know, Tubba's now on Purple Ribbon, which “happens” to be distributed through Interscope, the same label whose artists “happen” to have been on almost every cover of their magazine for the last year or so. I aint a fukkin' genius, and I know I'm not building the next space shuttle, but I know bullshit when I smell it. This is some bullshit. They know he said it, I know he said it, and by the way they apologized so quickly, we ALL know he said it. So Tubba, do the world a favor: just tell ‘em you know some ignigorant dudes who allow you to casually use the N-word around them and you thought you were wherever y'all say that shit at, and you slipped up.

What this has to do with that video I was supposed to review? Nothing. I just wanted to write about something interesting that's about to go down, in THE FUTURE.
