In slanguage news, Maureen Dowd writes a column about this and mostly manages to convey why no one who listens to hip-hop should ever try and use it's language, ever. Just give it up, old people. It's just really sad at this point.

I'm familiar with Rap Snacks. I've seen them in stores and even purchased a few. I'm familiar with the many Rap Snack flavors, from Mack 10's "Red Hot Cheddar" to the YoungBloodz "Southern Crunk BBQ." What I didn't know, however, is that each Rap Snack comes with not only a celebrity rap-star in cartoon form, but a slogan to boot.

And what does Birdman have to say to us on the cover of his "BAR-B-Quin with my Honey Popcorn"? Just a pithy bit of advice for today's youth snack-consumers: "Stay Away From Guns." Man, I almost wet myself at that one. Though I'm unsure of why the slogans are included at all, I'm completely fucking nonplussed at who's believing them. I mean really, Birdman telling us to "Stay Away From Guns" on the cover of his honey BBQ popcorn rap snack? Quick, someone pass me a towel so I can wipe my purple drink off the keyboard--I just sprayed everywhere.

Look at the bag: the anti-gun mantra is just below his name, kids.

And hey! There's more to this post than convenience store goodies! In case you slept on Birdman's recent effort, 5 Star Stunna, I've got your crack right here, and don't forget: stay away from guns!!
