Snacks and Shit

Please welcome our semi-regular music contributor, Cambopants. --WEBdB
Today on the (Musical) Interwebs brings you Snacks and Shit, a NSFW website that provides pages upon pages of ridiculously terrible rap lyrics that question how these rappers can be considered legitimate. In the words of the writers:

This blog is about rap and hip-hop lyrics that are absolutely absurd, ludicrous, nonsensical, ridiculous, basic, basically stupid, basically bad, basically basic, or preposterous. We also take some lines and examine them literally. In the words of one of our critics, we are "willfully obtuse". Call it what you want. Hopefully we don't get capped. You have to understand that we really do love rap and all of these artists that we kid about.

I give them two thumbs up for being able to listen to any rap songs and able to discern any words from the song as I usually hear a slew of beats and slurs of words. If you can get past the homophobic, sexist, and/or derogatory lines, there are some gems. My favorite include:

"Put that mayonnaise on your child." -Plies
"I'm a choo-choo." -DJ Quik
"I like breathing." -Dr. Dre

100 Skills Every Man Should Know

This is currently at the top of most favorited article on Metafilter.

100 Skills Every Man Should Know is a list of skills that Popular Mechanics deemed every man should know. Every person should probably know these. From handling a blowout and driving in the snow to treating snake bites and using a sewing machine. What I like about this list is it tells you how to do the skills, rather than just making you feel bad about how inept you are.

I think I would bomb the quiz in every category except emergencies. Oh well, I guess that means if things get really bad I'll be okay.
