The State of the Game: Hip-Hop for the Unschooled

Posted by Nathan S. on 09/29/09 | Filed under Features, State of the Game

Let's face it. There are no shortage of people who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about when it comes to all things hip-hop, but that doesn't stop them from talking (in fact, the less they know, the more they seem to talk). That's why I've created the State of the Game, a curriculum designed to school the uninitiated in all aspects of the game - or at least get them to stop spouting ridiculousness. Class is in session, suckas.

Slate's profanity was unusual to say the least, but the fact that a cast member slipped up and said the best/worst word in the English language during live television isn't really that shocking. No, what's really shocking is the amount of people who managed not to swear on SNL. For all the heat rappers catch for their "foul language," not a single hip-hop act has ever cursed on live television, a fact that's even more surprising when you consider the list of artists who have appeared on the show:
