And the Ignorant Nigga Coon award for the week ending July 14th 2007 goes to:

Freekey Zekey’s new video for “Like This”

Apparently Asylum Records, the same label that houses Cam’Ron and a bunch of other talent challenged rappers, thought it was a good idea to front Freekey Zekey money to make an album – and unfortunately for us black people, a video. I guess they figured there was room in the world for another ignorance laden video.

At first I wasn’t going to post about Zeke because there are more well-known, mainstream rappers that ooze ignorance. I figured Zeke is just putting out what he thinks will give him street cred… respect. Fuck that! This video is just damn stupid… and I’ll address the other rappers in due time.

Besides, I was speaking with a friend via IM tonight and she expressed to me that she is fed up with rappers making songs only about money/strippers/cars. There are no strippers in this video, but money (at least Zeke wants you to think he’s got $$) and cars are topics… as well as his criminal prowess. WHATEVER!

So Zeke starts out with:

I’m a stone cold criminal…

Blah blah blah…

(Chorus [repeated several times thoughout])

Who else but them niggas they call the Dips

Surfin the city in that big five or the six

When the niggas talk shit

We throw the barrel to the hips

Oh baby

You never seen a nigga like this

Now I did shows all around the globe

Bitches on the dick ‘cause of the cars I drove

I’m in the mix, God forbid I get hit

But I guarantee you’ll never meet a nigga like this

Sorry boys, but there are indeed niggas like you on many street corners in many cities across America. Nothing real special or different about you or the nonsense you’re portraying in your video. Do some Chris Gardner (“Pursuit of Happyness”) shit and make stacks from the stock market or corporate America.

By the way, why are there NO women in the video? Maybe I should be happy about that, because if they were, they probably would have been scarcely clothed and shaking their asses for the camera.

What’s with the rapping and dancing bare-chested next to his boy/mans-n-‘em whatever you wanna call him?

Why is he sprawled across the roof of the car (while its in motion) like he’s on a model shoot for “Playgirl”?

At the end of the video, he’s holding up the Dipset charm & chain and a watch. Yeah, yeah Zeke, we see you have a few trinkets, but do you own property anywhere? Do you even own the truck in the beginning of the video or the car that you’re joyriding in like a teenager on prom night… hanging out the sunroof and passenger window???

And finally, what’s with the “Suck a dick, suck a dick, suck a dick, suck a dick… bitch!” at the end? The people watching the video are people you want to go and legally download from the ‘net or buy your music at a retailer… but you’re telling us to “suck a dick.” Brilliant!

Cool track, too bad it’s wasted on this bullshit. This song and video isn’t even mediocre… it’s just POINTLESS!

I have to say, though I'm not a big fan of the word in question (I ain't gonna say "n-word"), this mess IS funny as hell. I hope this blog takes off for you because somebody has to say it.
