I'd smash weezy but Shabba would have to pay, I'd have to be drugged and blindfolded...and I'd have have my memory erased.

How long can artists capitalize on bragadocio? It's pretty one dimensional.

New egos come along to replace the old.

Mr. Shabba simply don't rank no mo.

I don't know.

I just searched Wikipedia and discovered that Queen Elizabeth II is also Queen of Jamaica - I never knew.

I wonder what will happen to all these countries in the Anglosphere, when she dies? They'll probably all become republics, which is a shame.

Here is an article from Time mag.com. It shed's some light on the issue...
