Bill Maher translates rap into white

Not too long ago I posted a video of comedian Chris Rock speaking about how it is becoming increasingly difficult to defend rap music. He contributes this difficulty to the sexist lyrics that often come from rap artists.

I consider myself to be a person with an eclectic taste in music and I do admire some underground hip hop artists. I find it unfortunate that there are so many performers that so emphatically follow the trend of rapping about money and women.

Here comedian Bill Maher does a humorous piece on translating rap lyrics. I think the reason this piece is funny is due to the fact that his translations not only reveal the obvious misogyny of the lyrics but he able to highlight just how ridiculous they are.
