'Bama what?


If there is one thing that Jim Jones ("Ballin'" not Mass-Murderin') is good for, it's coining a catchy phrase or ad lib and repeating it ad nauseam, until eventually the fad dies (concurrently, interestingly enough, with the increase in its use in the 40+ demo). For reference, please see "Ballin'!" or "What else?!" or "Twinkle Twinkle!" or "Flossin'!". In my opinion, Jim Jones is the best ad lib architect since Young Jeezy ("yeeeeaaaahhhhhh"), Jadakiss ("aha!"), Baby ("(pigeon sound)") and, of course, Mad Libs.


Jones's newest endeavor is an off-off-off Broadway play in which he almost gets murdered in a dice game. It's real out there in the streets, supposedly. Writer Toure sat down with the man for The Daily Beast and something very strange took place. Ready?

Jim Jones is not longer going to use the n-word in any of his songs. Kudos, Jimmy.

What is he going to do to fill the void? Replace it with Obama.

Check the article out and tell me what you think. Personally, I think Jim Jones sit in a corner and think about what he's saying. Fifteen minutes Jimmy! And no dessert! And no BAWLIN'!

heh.
