Yo! Japan rocks. There's a million reasons why Japan is one of the best places to live in the whole world. Ask any American who can choose to live in the USA or Japan why they stay here... There's no comparison.
Macklemore was at Sizzler today in Tokyo! Really! I heard him!
Did I say, "Japan Rocks"!? I did? Okay.
Yo! Check it! Reason #287 why Japan rocks: No BS politically correct censorship on the radio or at the in-store background music in public places.
Nope. Japan doesn't have a fascist FCC type of organization telling stations what they can and cannot air and what kind of language is appropriate. Japanese broadcasting stations have the right to censor themselves. There is no quasi-government organization pushing their shit Christian ethic on the rest of the public.. And when it comes to the language, there's no such thing as "Seven Words That You Can Never Say on Television"... They certainly don't have it in English, either....
In Japan, there's no PC crowd or organization saying that children can't hear words broadcasted on TV, radio and films that they hear their parents and neighbors saying all the god-damned time at home anyway!
Today, I took my wife and son to Sizzler. You know, the family steak house chain that originally came from the USA. It was wonderful. We had the salad bar set like we always do.
I laughed when Macklemore & Ryan Lewis came over the piped in music and they started singing these words:
I’m gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I’m, I’m, I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome
Now walk into the club like "What up?! I got a big cock!"
Nah, I’m just pumped, I bought some shit from the thrift shop
Ice on the fringe is so damn frosty
The people like “Damn, that’s a cold ass honky”
Rolling in hella deep, headed to the mezzanine
Dressed in all pink except my gator shoes,
those are green Draped in a leopard mink,
girl standing next to me Probably should've washed this,
smells like R.Kelly sheets
Piss....
But shit, it was 99 cents
Buy it, coppin' it, washin' it,
‘bout to go and get some compliments
Passing up on those moccasins someone else has been walking in
Bummy and grungy, fucking it,
I am stunting and flossing and Saving my money and I’m hella happy,
that’s a bargain bitch
I’ma take your grandpa's style, I’ma take your grandpa's style
No for real, ask your grandpa, can I have his hand-me-downs?
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie Brown leather jacket that I found digging
They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a skeet blanket, then I bought a knee board
Hello, hello, my ace man, my mellow John Wayne ain’t got nothing on my fringe game,
hell no I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like “Ah, he got the Velcros”
What you know about rocking a wolf on your noggin?
What you knowing about wearing a fur fox skin?
I’m digging, I’m digging,
I’m searching right through that luggage
One man’s trash, that’s another man’s come up
Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button- Up shirt,
‘cause right now, I’m up in hurr stuntin' I’m at the Goodwill,
you can find me in the (Uptons)
I’m that, I’m that sucker searchin' in that section (Uptons)
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
I’ll take those flannel zebra jammies,
second hand and I’ll rock that motherfucker
The built-in onesie with the socks on the motherfucker
I hit the party and they stop in that motherfucker
They be like “Oh that Gucci, that’s hella tight”
I’m like “Yo, that’s fifty dollars for a t-shirt”
Limited edition, let’s do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a t-shirt,
that’s just some ignorant bitch shit I call that getting swindled and pimped,
shit I call that getting tricked by business
That shirt’s hella dope
And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don’t
Peep game, come take a look through my telescope
Trying to get girls from a brand?
Then you hella won’t
Man you hella won’t,
man you hella won't
I’m gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I’m, I’m, I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome
As I chuckle and enjoy the tune, the rest of the patrons at the restaurant enjoy the pleasant piped in music. To the left of me there's a table with a family with two little girls who look to be 4 or 5 years old... They enjoy the music, the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant....
I love Japan! It's fucking awesome!
