#MIDGET LIMBO BAR TRIAL#

No matter how many times I'd question that brand of logic, the intelligence insulting suggestion that failed murder attempts that leave holes in your respective ass somehow makes a persons street credibility beyond reproach, always puzzled me whenever one of his supporters would act as if going after his main narrative was off the table.

With that person usually arguing their case like a seasoned trial lawyer, their main argument being that 50 Cent survived multiple gun shot wounds, smirking as if they had just nailed the landing on a Perry Mason style closing argument. My own anecdotal comparison of John McCain and 50 Cent aside, there is another striking similarity between the two men that is just downright uncanny.Īt the height of 50's career, whenever I would antagonize some of his misguided fans by sarcastically questioning his street credibility, more times than not I'd find myself on the business end of an extremely strong rebuke. a bar set lower than midget limbo contests mind you.) There it was, my 'lesser of two evils' argument coming home to roost. After the extremely friendly group did all they could to convince me that their vote wasn't a product of racism but of Obama's inexperience, an argument that I still find a bit suspect, their main talking point was that McCain would at least be better than Bush.(. 'Second Verse, same as the first' like a motherfucker.ĥ0 Cent came to mind this week as I talked to a group of disaffected Hillary supporters who claimed that they were voting for McCain come November. As we all know by now, the 'lesser evil' turned out to be just as bad as the guy he replaced. But like the time I got the chance to date a local porn actress and suddenly realized that my germaphobia wouldn't let me get within a few feet of her without wearing riot gear and doctors gloves, the old saying 'Be careful what you wish for' seems to rear its ugly head in this case as well. But, in the same way the catholic Church's silence during the slave trade was equivalent to consent, I kept my criticism of 50 to myself - only because he and I shared a core belief that the much greater evil had to be wiped off of the musical landscape. Its true, when 50 Cent dropped ' Get Rich or Die Trying' I found his rhyme delivery to be a monosyllabic snore fest, his lyrical first person accounts of the emotional rough terrain surrounding the drug trade were both hamfistedly clumsy and unimaginative, and since only supreme lyricism can make a Hip Hop snob like myself excuse gratuitous murders on wax(see Kool G Rap), the Queens rapper was off to a rather bad start with this particular chubby wordsmith. Not exactly the most eloquent way of stating a case, but that was my stock argument every time I endorsed electing a politician who would be less of a historical nightmare. Basically equating voters to a prison inmate who has the option of rooming with someone who may possibly drives them nutty from their incessant chatter, or another prisoner whose main hobby is aggressively engaging in rather intimate ' Top Bunk' style romances. Just like Bill Murray in the aforementioned ' Groundhog Day', who slowly slipped into madness after waking up to the same song every morning, and having the same inane conversations with people on the street - for the last 8 years my argument in favor of a 'lesser of two evils' approach has remained virtually identical.
