**I'd argue that Em only rhymes "yo" with "ho" once, but since it is in a refrain, it gets repeated a bit.**
And you'd win the argument...I guess my underlying thought was "if the guy can come up with such clever insightful and sometimes LOL stuff, why lower the standard with that kind of couplet? Obviously, it works for the genre he's working in. It's the same sort of thing that was a little off-putting about Joni singing "Nice Kitty Kitty"...seems sort of below the bar. > **Now, the overuse of the word "motherfucker" ** Yes, but it's like the old Richard Pryor HBo specials & movies...once he says it 100 times, I'm totally numb to it. And he does lean on it too much in his writing. He'll need to expand his vocabulary if he wants to grow beyond what he's doing now. > **And Bob, your are always fair, always open, always giving a chance, and > I respect your judgments and your ability to transcend the musical > limitations that we all have.** > Thanks, Vince...I'll pass along credit to Dr. Seuss, who taught me to look beyond the Z (On Beyond Zebra, one of my favorite books) and not to judge those green eggs & ham until I've had a bite! :~) Bob
