That’s Kanye from the Fish Sticks episode of South Park.

I would really like to ask him how anyone could come up with a scene like this lmao:
I confess I’ve never watched a full episode of South Park. (Trump that!!!) (pun intended…)

Great scene LOLLL!
Nicolas Cage’s hair though, it almost stole the scene.

Well, do you like fish sticks?
When I went to the local public elementary school in what was then a poor neighborhood, fish sticks were the highlight of the week for lunch.
The closest I’ve had since then are the fish sandwichs from McD and Burger King.
As an old Italian secretary screeched out once in my then workplace -“you can fry a pair of chopsticks and it would taste good!”.

So you like putting fish sticks (dicks) in your mouth.
What are you? A gay fish?
Seriously, the episode was about Cartman taking credit for this lame joke by that crippled kid that went viral and Kanye was the only person in the world who didn’t get it.

I’m like Nemo, swimming under the sea, gaily (badabump) singing happy songs.
Tangentially- I worked with a guy who, for a whole week tried to explain to me in great detail exactly why Kanye was a lyrical genius.
I’d just nod, then at the end of his explanation say “Nah. I just don’t see it.”. Then off he’d go again. I finally let him off the hook at the end and told him I’d been messing with him for the whole week.

I confess I’ve only heard ONE Kanye song in it’s entirety and that was only because I was so impressed by the music video that I wanted to find some parts I could rip off.
This was it:
I’ll also confess that I think Eminem is a lyrical genius. Like, the real fucking deal. Dylan and Paul Simon level shit.
I confess I absolutely agree with that statement.

Kanye’s production skills are much better than his lyrics. I wouldn’t rank him very high for his lyrics alone, and any of his recent music sucks because…I’m not sure. His mental health deteriorated and he became involved with the Kardashians? Not the same stuff it used to be.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t dislike Kanye’s music. It’s just that I haven’t really paid attention to rap as a genre unless something like this blows my mind:
I think my favorite Taiwanese artiste, Jay Chou, has claimed he ripped off enough of Kanye’s music for me to think it’s probably pretty good lol. Jay’s level of lyric writing was, however, fucking Shakespearean in some of his earlier works IMHO but they’re all in Mandarin and Hokkien.
I don’t get this, haha. Is it big “over there”? Are there many rap artists? I know some Latino and British rappers but have very little knowledge of who the rest of the world has.

Rap is big almost everywhere in different languages TODAY. Jay Chou raps in almost half his songs. I think he was one of the pioneers who made Chinese rap popular here. Lots of Korean rap groups too. I only like Jay Chou because of his lyrics AND musicianship. It’s not even really about genre for me. I have no idea what the Korean bands are rapping about and the music is your standard mass produced studio fluff so I don’t really care for them.
It also wasn’t popular when I was growing up since there were no Asian rap bands and the only good rappers we had heard of were the Beastie Boys and NWA and all the albums from latter were banned over here lol. Of course, I did manage to get bootlegged cassettes but I had no fucking idea what they were rapping about because my English sucked really bad at the time but just Fuck The Police and this verse was something that really resonated with us AT THAT TIME (I have NOTHING against the cops where I live these days):
"But take off the gun so you can see what’s up
And we’ll go at it, punk, I’ma fuck you up"
They only played Vanilla Ice and LL Cool J on the radio.
EDIT:
Mandarin pop and Canto rock were pretty good those days anyway:
This chick ended up starring in Wong Kar Wai’s Chungking Express:
This (Beyond) was everyone’s favorite band at the time. This song became the theme song of the HK Umbrella Movement in 2014 and the recent protests more than 20 years after it’s release:
Nowadays I don’t even know who’s popular or even tell most artistes and their music apart other than a HK chick called GEM. Everything else sounds like a modern version of a Stock, Aitken, Waterman production.
She does some rap too and this version of this song is so fucking weird because it’s a cover of only the chorus of a song from a popular Taiwanese rock band (Shin) that decided to do it half-acapella for reasons only known to them and all the rapped verses sound like she’s ranting about invasion of her privacy by the paparazzi and toxic fandom despite the original song and it’s chorus being about “love” lol:
Not really a fan but their singer is pretty badass.
That is the BEST way to describe that film.
B grade plot
A grade budget
Nick Cave and John T are not even the same height or build

I confess I noticed today getting into the shower that when I cough I can clearly see my abs. Like clearer than I’ve ever seen them before. Well defined 6 pack and it made me so freaking happy. I made myself continue to cough for a while. It was so exciting.

I have hit a wall…
Nothing remotely productive is going to happen. I’ve spent the past 3 hours watching random stuff on Netflix and will continue to do so for the rest of the day
I don’t even want to spend the mental energy to watch cooking shows or House
