Bill Cosby putting out a rap album
April 21st 2008 11:21
"“I do not rap on any of these things,” Cosby said Monday. “I wouldn’t know how to fix my mouth to say some of the words.”"
Yes, Bill Cosby is releasing a rap album called "Cosby Narratives vol 1: State of Emergency", but he's getting a whole crew of guest rappers to do the real work.
Sure, it sounds ridiculous, even from me, a kid raised on The Cosby Show, but I can really get down with Cosby's motivation:
"Cosby said the hip-hop music he hears is profane and degrading. His album is “the opposite of what I think is the profanity for no particular reason, the misogyny for no particular reason,” he said. “It really looks at the frustration and the anger that a young man may have.”"
This all sounds quite exciting coming from a man that brought family-friendly comedy to black audiences, leaving the raw for Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy.
When I got a little older, I forgot about the wholesome rye of Cosby and went for the addictive pixie sticks that Murphy was selling. He swore! And made fun of white people! Oh, the funny!
Of course, since then, Murphy has learned how to sell out, just like his comedic classmates Steve Martin and Ice Cube. What happened?
No tracks have been released, but I found this popular music video: "Cosby Bebop"!
What's the difference between Dre and Cosby?
