MNM’s lyrics are crude and his music is repetetive. Usher clearly came out the better artist, despite his repetetive first hit.

then there’s the controversy everyone’s talking about: Nat King Cole and Perry Como. Como sang ‘hot ziggedy dog ziggedy , boom what you do to me” but Cole sang “Mona Lisa” so , despite his repetitive first hit, who came out the better artist?

Somebody help me out here - between this being from 2003 and the fact that I’m exceedingly white, who is the thug grilling the tuna fish sandwiches? I usually get most of the cultural references in The Boondocks, but this one has me stumped. (I, a Generation X-er, got the Bull Connor with a fire hose reference in one of the very first strips, while my Boomer dad was clueless.)
Thanks.
And Re: the Eminem vs. Usher, Cole vs. Como debate. I listen to Sarah McLachlan. Told you I was white.
