For anyone interested in his other (real) work his name is 'D' mite. Hes one of those good hip hop artists that isn't all negative. Something akin to KRS1. Even the style of which this song is done is a mockery of crunk.

Racist rap?

Your statement isn't positive. It's sad.

Well, part of teaching is conveying the information in a way such that they can actually understand it. If it that's what it takes, fine; that's what good teachers do. It's really not all that different talking to Latin immigrants in Spanish, but the 'Black native language' is just poor and vulgar English.

Not really. It's the language of black hiphop/gangsta/ghetto culture, though.

It sure drums in the message, I for one feel like reading a book now and not a magazine mind you!

Wrong. I checked out his other stuff and he is one of those "I want to change black culture" - types. He's only doing the hip-hop thing to get his point across.
He hates modern rap, so he claims he is not a rapper but a poet with a hip-hop style.

He can be out to do whatever he wants to be out to do, but because you make some songs you're not gonna change anything. This will get a few laughs and be forgotten. It will be more of a 'joke of the week' than actually lifechanging. Maybe if he works harder at this he can start some new trend in rap but this one song is not going to serve much purpose.

I know. But you said:
He does. I'm not saying he'll succeed, but he does have that intention.

The first part of the song about reading and education actually made sense, but when he got down to the rest of it to me it lost meaning. It turned into just feeding into stereotypes to get laughter.

Yeah, the brushing of teeth and wearing deodorant I didn't get, not familiar with that stereotype, but hey, it might be true. But the other ones are definitely established stereotypes, like not investing in land - but rather spinning wheels, and not raising ones kids.

Phlegmak, thanks for the Schoolhouse rock video about the bill, that is exactly what the Simpsons parody is based off.
FYI, you can easily search youtube for the other Schoolhouse Rock videos if you want. There are many more.

Personally, the first black person I ever saw was in my kindergarten class; he smelled terrible and had yellow teeth. The one in second grade wasn't much better. It's probably not a universal thing, but I'm fairly certain some are like that.

You could say the same for white people, or Indians, or Chinese for that matter.
This ytmnd proves that Dr. Seuss was the best rapper ever. Discussion ended.

I couldn't really concentrate on whether or not it was racist the first time I watched this video, as I was too surprised by Ludwig van Beethoven's 5th Symphony appearing throughout the whole song in the background, played at the piano...
Oh and I don't think it is racist. It's just a parody.
