X-Message-Number: 14203 From: "George Smith" <> References: <> Subject: Re: The Identity Question - in Rap Date: Sat, 29 Jul 2000 10:44:55 -0700 About 20 years ago when Rap "music" was surfacing on television and one of my children was attracted to this urban syncopated "in your face" sound, I addressed the identity issue with a spontaneous effort, here recalled (with large portions lost to memory at the dire request of all who were present): "I'm ME!" lyrics by Rap Smith (Copyright 1980 for the protection of the human species in general). " I'm ME! PROVE that I ain't! " I'm ME! PROVE that I ain't! " I'm ME! PROVE that I ain't! " I'm ME! PROVE that I ain't!" (etc.) The "music" is horrid, the lyrics silly, and we'll check out the accuracy of the statement later. George Smith Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=14203
