Sarah Palin Knows Rap
Fox News and Republican critics of Obama have been hyperventilating this week about a visit by the rapper Common to a White House poetry event. The controversy is so mind-blowingly stupid that my opinion on it is communicated in grunts and hand gestures (Jon Stewart did an amazing job covering the scandal Wednesday night). Sarah Palin has been suffering from a lack of attention lately, so she decided to jump into the controversy. She claims it isn’t just anti-Obama, she’s a rap fan.
“I’m not anti-rap. In fact, like Bret Baier, I know the lyrics to ‘Rapper’s Delight,’ too.”
Uhhhhh….yeah
Rapper’s Delight was released in 1979. The song is 7 minutes long.
I said, a hip hop the hippie the hippie
To the hip hip hop, a you don’t stop
The rock it to the bang, bang boogie
Say up jumped the boogieTo the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Now what you hear is not a test I’m rappin’ to the beat
And me, the groove and my friends
Are gonna try to move your feetSee I am Wonder Mike and I like to say hello
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown
The purple and yellow
But first I gotta bang, bang the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie…
How many lyrics does she know? Why all of them, of course.
Did you ever go over to a friends house to eat and the food just ain’t no good?
I’m betting that she had to call Michael Steele to get that line fed to her.
She is right now trying to write all the lyrics on her hand.
She has a remarkable way of turning every little thing into proof that she is stupid.
The only reason she knows that song is that it was in The Wedding Singer, performed by a little old white lady.
Isn’t what she said tantamount to saying that she has black friends also, too? 😉
Do you know how *old* Rapper’s Delight is?
I think she is saying that she used to have black friends, also, too.
Palin is hardly unique. If you were around 15 years old in 1980, you know every word to that song. Most of us stopped using it as proof that we like rap music by around 1985.
She is a very sad, pathetic person. She’s like your parents’ friend who kept saying “cool” and “groovy” to you when you were a teen. Major ick factor.
If she really wanted cred, Phalin should’ve dropped a little Eric B & Rakim knowledge with Let The Rhythm Hit Em.
I would’ve taken, also, too, Stetsasonic, Big Daddy Kane, Special Ed, Kool Moe Dee or Cameo (just because his cod piece screams Mission Accomplished).
Word up!
I had to look at the title to this twice. I thought it read “Sarah Palin knows crap.”
I know rap better than Sarah Palin because I know the words to Ice Ice Baby, Bust A Move and Can’t Touch This. Obviously I’m a hardcore fan. I’m surprised Palin didn’t say the rap part was her favorite part in Blondie’s “The Rapture.”
I’d have ONLY believed had she said she was a fan of Blondie’s “RAPture” from the early 80’s.
Thats it Skip. A little later than Sugar Hill Gang but many dorm rooms removed. She’s the barracuda of rap but the pleco of politics.
There’s a rapper whose name is Bret? Bret doesn’t strike me as a rapper name. It doesn’t have misplaced letters and superfluous punctuation in the name.
Then again.. you wouldn’t expect her to come up with the name of an actual topical reference without being coached, did you? The woman couldn’t name a friggin newspaper on demand.
Rapper’s Delight is a trip, though. You couldn’t ask for a more non-offensive, vanilla, politically safe answer. I mean, she’s not gonna yell out “FUCK THE PO-LEECE… boyeeeee.”
I’ll drink up all the Hennessy you got on your shelf,
Just let me introduce myself,
My name is Humpty, pronounced with an umpty.

Sarah Palin was so successful as a governor (The Bitter Quitter), she graduated early, she real is a “Dan Quayle” in heels. She clearly loves “dishing it out” but real can’t take it because she loves playing the victim card. Poor thing she fail as a VP candidate (her lie that her daughter was engaged was such a farce), her stand-up comic fiasco on the Jay Leno Show, please, her TV show canceled after declining rating, I guess running for Prez is the only thing she can look forward to, but since she is a coward she will only throw small minded rocks, poor thing.
It was actually Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger who popularized cop killing as pulp fiction art when he walked into that police station in Terminator said “I’ll Be Back” then came back with the two big machine guns and killed all the cops in building. That scene still holds the record for most cops killed by a single person. After they were all dead, Arnold smiled that big GOP smile. I think that’s why George W. Bush and Karl Rove both endorsed Schwarzenegger for Governor of California. They all like those cop killer movies. It’s mainly black culture they find offensive.
