List something you "learned" listening to Hip Hop lyrics

[KurtNYC]

My list:

1. If "the chicken tastes like wood" then it is appropriate to make an excuse and leave the meal. Your friend will forgive you "2 weeks later."

2. "The break of dawn" is never more than about 8 minutes away. We know this because the gap from the time the MC declares that "we won't stop a rockin' 'til the break of dawn" until the song stops is usually about 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Don't push a person who is close to the edge.

4. We are, apparently, not allowed to touch MC Hammer. He was quite clear on this point.

5. Parents just don't understand Hip Hop. It may be because they live in Beverly Hills.

6. Few things in this lifetime are as funky as "a old batch of collard greens."

7. It is of the utmost importance to "get this party started right."

1. When all else fails...

Go ahead, be gone with it.

[Ron Obvious]

2. I learned that I hate Rap and Hip-Hop n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. You better check yourself...

...before you wreck yourself.

Actually good advice to anyone who insists of pasting "facts" from chain emails to one's Facebook page, especially of the political nature.

Otherwise known as Snopes It Before You Post It.

4. You can make a fortune finding words to rhyme with "b!tch"!

[Denninmi]

5. That you need to shake it like a Polaroid picture.

And that I got a feeling tonight's gonna be a good night.

[ok_cpu]

6. That turntables might wobble

but they won't fall down.

[hobbit709]

7. I learned that you get a blank stare when you tell them

"You can cure that low frequency vibration problem in your car with a straight pin through the speaker wires."

[backtoblue]

8. mo money - mo problems (so i was told anyways)

[OriginalGeek]

9. All I really know for sure is that

It's tricky.

10. 1. Predicting your own death in song is tempting fate (though a great career move).

2. Rakim was unaware of the existence of the ledge (perhaps he was intoxicated at the time).

3. Even murderous quasi-sociopaths still love their mothers (and Jesus).

4. Sudden wealth and fame will cause former female acquaintances to revise their memories of you (see Notorious B.I.G. - "Juicy" et. al.)

5. Eating too many shrimp will cause iodine poisoning. It's scientifically proven, damn it!
