One Track Mind (To Make Money)

What kind of name is Uncle Samurai?
He says he's Black and Japanese. Hmmmm...I bet the women think that's exotic or somethin'. I don't really know. I'm blind. You would have to tell me. What I DO know is that Black and Japanese are two very different cultures to be swimmin around up in somebody's head for a life time. This cat must have a very unique perspective on life. Can you imagine being Black and Japanese...at the same time?! You can actually tell by the kind of music that comes out of his mind.
This song "One Track Mind" It's got a hard hittin' dancehall style beat underneath. Which the brothaz and sistaz are familiar with. And then the words are strategic and thoughtful and make you think about everything and everybody. But there aint a lot of words. And the topic is centered at the heart of American idealism. But not offensive. Which them Japanese folks are good at. You know...like them Haikus and stuff.
And...there aint one cuss word in the song. And I was bracin' my ear holes for some.

Hmmph...maybe this Uncle Samurai is alright...

John Mayer apologizes for using the word N****? Why?


MAYER: My two biggest hits are 'Your Body Is a Wonderland' and 'Daughters.' If you think those songs are pandering, then you'll think I'm a douche bag. It's like I come on very strong. I am a very…I'm just very. V-E-R-Y. And if you can't handle very, then I'm a douche bag. But I think the world needs a little very. That's why black people love me.

PLAYBOY: Because you're very?

MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?' And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n***** pass."


So? What is the big deal? He was explaining a definition. I don't think this "Apology" thing is worth our reading time. John's band is half black. His music is covering genres that black people accept. A lot of white people may be embarrassed, sure. But black folks don't really pay know mind to this kind of thing. John Mayer has not done anything but the music. Why would he be using that word now? Y'all need to relax and take that word off your brain console anyway.

We use to call it editing. That's what should have happened in the first place, Playboy...

Get on my last nerve with this topic...

Y'all need to worry about Lindsay's shins any how...
