I was just doing this rap the other day

"I missed my bus
I know I'm late
I gotta do something
I know I hate
I gotta walk to work
15 blocks and I already got
a hole in my socks
I got bad feet
My corns hut
to top it off
I'm late for work
Let me tell you how I .....something...sidewalk
Let me show you how I walk when I gotta do my funky walk
I say SSSSSucka!"

Love that song. There used to be a cool station that would play funky stuff like that for a few hours on weekdays but I think they changed formats....it was the Detroit Public Schools radio station...I think they started playing really old school R&B or maybe they don't even exisit anymore.

I was just rappin' this in the hallway the other day, and a few people knew what I was talking about.

It's a treasure, I love the song!
Ooh, little darlin' if you're

If U ain't busy 4 the next 7 years (Next 7 years)
Say, let's pretend we're married and go all night

.....just kidding! biggrin Frankie Smith is a funk musician and R&B/soul song writer.

He was a writer for funk and soul artits such as the O'Jays and The Spinners. He has also been influential in the careers of modern day rappers Tone Loc and Ice Cube.

With his 1982 single "Double-Dutch Bus", Smith popularized a nonsensical form of slang, in which "iz" is placed in the middle of a word (place becomes plizace) or the last letters of a word are replaced with "izzle" (sure becomes shizzle). The style became part of hip-hop slang, and was popularized by rappers Snoop Dogg and E-40, and today holds a "plizace" in popular slang. "The Double Dutch Bus" itself has been sampled frequently in hip-hop music, including Snoop Dog's "Snoop Dogg (What's My Name, Pt. 2)" and Missy Elliott's "Gossip Folks", both records produced by Timbaland.

Did anyone see the episode of A&E's "City Confidential" that showed a short clip of Frankie Smith on "American Bandstand"? The owner of the record label that Frankie Smith was on was involved in some type of murder or scandal.
