A Def Ear to the Rules of Grammar

EVERYBODY seems to be on the rap world's case these days. And for what? Trivial things like lyrics that glorify violence, misogyny and racism? Or the propensity of some rappers to aerate one another with hot lead?

The people who should really be hip-hopping mad are grammarians.

Yet for the most part they stand on the sidelines, raising no audible objections to Lil' Kim's wayward apostrophe or 50 Cent's hostility to plurals or the spelling horrors committed by the likes of Supreem Da Regulata, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Capone-N-Noreaga. Where, you have to ask yourself, is the outrage?
