I love Fruity Pebbles in a major way.

Do any major-label rap songs sung by non-whites start that way anymore?

I think the last well-known rap/hip-hop "song" to use it was the opening theme to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I knew that was going to be the opening line. I just knew.

It's the easiest one for awkward white people like her to reach for.

reminded me immediately of scott aukerman

"I'm Chiquita Banana, and I've come to say
Bananas must ripen in a special way"

Serious question: was there ever a sincere instance of the "my name is x and I'm here to say" rhyme in a rap song?

So, Rapper's Delight, the first rap song to gain mainstream popularity, has the lyric:

See 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

Well before "rap music" was something sold on records, MCs were rapping over dance music at hip-hop dance parties. Naturally, an MC would introduce himself and talk himself up during the performance.

OK, that's all I got. Nowadays, "I'm MC ___ and I'm here to say," is unimaginative space-filling fluff.

My name is Harriet and I'm here to say
Well, shit, I ain't got no imagination today

I note those in the YT comments defending her from "teh evil librulls" have the largest number of typos.

Yes, excellent submission/username synergy here.

Yes because obviously rapping lamely is racist.

I'd say it's more of a "lame rapping from a wealthy white person who supports a political party doing all it can to disenfranchise minority voters and whose major players have a long history of racial epithets, slurs, and demeaning language popping out of their mouths because it's so ingrained they don't even realize they're doing it is racist" kind of thing.

It's like how Mitt Romney was witlessly classist when he talked about being in dire straits after graduating college because he and his wife had to (gasp!) sell some stock shares.

At best, Dana and her ilk don't even realize how offensive they are on a regular basis.

A five star reference, but I already used my stars :(

did you quit and have a fulfilling life after----- i should read the posters name before i submit
