Wikipedia Wednesdays
Hello people. As you may or may not know, wikipedia.com is an online encylocpedia that allows its readers to ediyt entries. It recently got some burn on The Colbert Report, which has its fair share of hysterical moments. Although personally, I still find his in-studio interview technique to be a bit grating. I am known to be a hater though.
As we were saying before we were rudely interupted, I recently re-discovered how hilarious some of the entries on wikipedia can be -no doubt because they allow their readers to do the editing.
Here are some funny entries I’ve found, or been emailed.
" A kufi is a short rounded cap, traditionally worn by Muslims, although within the US it has become more commonly identified with persons of African descent, who wear it to show pride in their history and their religion.
Recently, there has been an opposition to some individuals who wear kufis. Those who oppose these individuals assert to be "kufi smackers." The impetus of the kufi smacking movement was the Harlem based rap group, The Diplomats. One member, Freekey Zeekey, has claimed to be the "number-one kufi smacker." Zeekey, as well as other members of The Diplomats, often make reference to kufi smacking with such lyrics as "mama said I’m love sick, over this hot ass hoochie, first seen her when I told Nas, I’d slap off his kufi." The group also often makes reference to a supposed "kufi list." Those on the "kufi list" (whether a tangible list exists is unknown) are often disrespected in The Diplomats rhymes, and are the first in line to be kufi smacked. "
"In June of 2004, DMX and a friend were arrested in the parking lot of Kennedy Airport in New York for allegedly attempting to steal a car and impersonating a federal agent. Police questioned Simmons, who claimed to be a "special agent." However, agents were aware of his status as an entertainer and not an agent"
" [Jadakiss] is known for his ongoing tendency to draw similarities between the color of his vehicles and random objects, such as dandruff ("Made You Look" remix), pink lemonade ("Sexy"), pecans ("Why"), hot sauce ("Hot Sauce To Go"), Pepsi Blue ("Time’s Up"), eggnog ("Carry Your Casket"), milk ("Calmate (Calm Down)") and Heineken beer bottles ("Bring You Down")."
" R. Kelly will release his next album Making Babies sometime during late-2006 and early-2007. Very little is known about the album, but it is likely to contain more of the bedroom ballads that made him famous."
" D Block went all out on G Unit with the song "Shots Fired," a song whose chorus recommends murdering 50 Cent and G Unit."
