“Hard”, Indeed
I consider myself a person able to write on any subject. Just give me a phrase and I’ll spin it into something eloquent. Something noteworthy. Something cogent.
All of that went out of the window tonight. Yup, folks … consider me write-less. Seriously, there are no words, no rhyme nor reason, for Three 6 Mafia winning an Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences award for Best Original Song with “It’s Hard Out Here … *sigh* I can’t even type the whole thing out.
I will now go hustle and slit my “D-Jay”- adorned throat. And, you know … watch the blood flow.
That is all.
I used to wonder when my late grandmother said that we were living in our last days. Well Granny, today is that last day. Hell has frozen over and you can cue the four horsemen. Three 6 Mafia has won an Oscar. That’s right, a dude named Crunchy Black owns an Academy Award.

Man, it’s a sad day for the Academy. A sad day, indeed.

I wonder if this qualifies for The Boondocks “A Nigga Moment?”
Comment by Nikki — 03.06.06 @ 12:02 pm
This was the epitome of a Nigga Moment. How can we be proud of such coonery?

And we just thought that the youth of today was lost. I’m sure some of our kids were at school today just as proud as they can be about Three 6 Mafia’s win. Proud I tell ya. Parents keep an eye on your kids. The majority of hip hop today already sucks and this will lead to more suckage.
What’s that you say? Is that a Hoover vacuum? No, that’s hip hop!

Dang Nik, NOT suckage. Just outta curiosity, exactly HOW many years did this set us back?

A friend just wrote on our listserve..
“how in da h#ll does Juicy J, DJ Paul, Crunchy Blac and Project Pat (among other cats from Three 6) have Oscars and not DON CHEADLE!!!”
That’s all I have.

Well hey if Halley Berry can win one and Angela Bassett hasn’t then why not Three 6 Mafia? Nothing suprises me about the academy awards anymore. Nothing.
