Black people: wtf?

The Minstrel Show

The hottest new thing in hip-hop? Minstrel show rap. No, not that shitty Little Brother album from last year, I'm talking about an actual return of minstrelsy in the form of, primarily, shitty southern hip-hop.

Flush with revenue from the likes of Mike Jones' Who Is Mike Jones?, the Ying Yang Twins' "Wait (The Whisper Song)," Three-Six Mafia's Academy Award-winning theme to Hustle and Flow, and D4l's "Laffy Taffy," record labels are rushing out to sign the most coon-like negros they can find, including the following.

Ms. Peachez. Perhaps the most indefensible of the bunch, I'm just waiting for the video for her "Fry That Chicken" (yep) to be revealed as some sort of Amazing Racist-type "experiment."

DJ  Webstar and Young B. Would anyone mind explaining to me the difference between the Chicken Noodle Soup and actual minstrel show dancing?

Jibbs. Similarly, you have to assume that if Jibbs wasn't aware that the melody for his current hit "Chain Hang Low" has its origins a minstrel show number known as "Zip Coon" someone at his label must have.

Plenty of video evidence after the jump, including something called "crackhead dance," which just so happened to be a featured link on the YouTube page for "Fry That Chicken."
