Internet review: Snacks And Shit

The pressures of rhyming while simultaneously maintaining one's own position as a superior specimen of the human race has led many a rapper into a ridiculous, nonsensical corner. This blog, named after Jay-Z's line in Hey Papi ("No room service just snacks and shit") is dedicated to exposing the most ludicrous offenders and examining their words in literal fashion. Authors Chris and Chris ridicule the obsession DMX has with dog analogies, Snoop's basic lack of geography ("coast to coast, LA to Chicago"), Eminem's neverending use of the word "pee-pee" and encounter new terminology (although it's uncertain who "breasticles" belong to). Amid stiff competition there is also the worst chat-up line possible: "You a big fine horse", which only works if you're addressing a horse.
