Here’s something from my drafts folder that I forgot to post from a couple of years ago…
For many people, Twitter is nothing more than a self-indulgent stream of fuckybergs telling the world how many pieces of French toast they consumed at brunch. Last Monday, that all changed, after some struggle “comedian” lady finally got “sanger” Chris Brown to shut down his Twitter account following a heated exchange revolving around his previous treatment of Rihanna (of “Rihanna Plane” fame, natch). Turns out this Jenny Johnson character has been trolling C. Brown for years, and the main flaw in her argument had nothing to do with what happened to Rihanna’s face and everything to do with her misguided attempt to correct Chris’ spelling:
@chrisbrown: take them teeth out when u Sucking my dick HOE.
@JennyJohnsonHi5 It’s “HO” not “HOE” you ignorant fuck.
I found compelled to point out that there is in fact an “E” in “Hoe,” which resulted in an in-depth academic debate between myself, rapper/producer/author/drummer J-Zone and musical maestro/Ralph Lauren chandelier owner Just Blaze as to the correct spelling of the term according to old rap songs. While I was strongly in the “E” camp, J-Zone produced compelling evidence that it was only when used as a plural that the “E” was required, according to most Miami and mid western records (Geto Boys’ “Let A Ho Be A Ho”, Willie Dee‘s “Bald Head Hoes”). Not to be discouraged, I continued to produce examples of “hoe” in the singular, while Just Blaze played tennis umpire. It was a stalemate once we established that the East Coast favoured the “E” and the West dropped it, with the fact that Too $hort used to “Pimp The Ho” until 2011, when he suddenly adapted the “E.”
My discovery that Bay Area royalty E-40 penned a track titled “Captain Save A Hoe” tilted the scales, resulting in Zone graciously admitting defeat. It wasn’t long before he appealed his case when he discovered some new evidence, before going on “hoatus” and declaring that it was a 50/50 split according to his record collection. All of this indicates that the world needs a in-depth thesis written on the topic of the correct spelling of this infamous derogatory term. Time for me to sew some leather patches onto a tweed blazer and hit the library…
possibly the greatest twitter debate of all time
Although MC Shan compares the lady in question to a gardening tool, he spells it ‘HO
Surprisingly, Too $hort doesn’t have many song titles with the word hoe in them.
Alot of worse offenders than No Pressure but when Keith Murray features are the highlight it becomes an album you never rebuy once you loose it, trade it, or it gets fucked up, not even for a buck or two used..
You just stay away from that shit b
Up in the Bronx and on the way to the Latin Quarter..Scott La Rock had them all he is a (Super-Hoe) so it was said and written. Hoe it is then fellas – sorted.
Someone should have made an effort to loop in Dres from Black Sheep on the council.. “Ho is short for Honey, we just dropped the ney, like when you hoes drop to your knees” -L.A.S.M.
it’s ho for wHOre.
