Ahead of the Pop-culture curve ?!

Who would have thought that even by being aware of the Triple 6 Mafia (for a full decade, even) that I, a humble white dude kinda from the sticks, would have a hipster-like been-there-done-that leg up on most post-Oscar analysts who had no clue who they even were. Hell, I've even seen them in concert in between The Offspring and Lynryd Skynryd. Confused? I was. And who couldn't just love a hardcore rap group with a debatably satanic title with an award-winning song about pimpin' and how it ain't exactly easy? Well, the entire panel of Hardball, for one. So, if you're keeping up, "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" is on the same list as "My Heart Will Go On", "Take My Breath Away", "Moon River", and "Zip-a-dee-do-dah" to sample another song, "One of these things is not like the other." Most analysis I've come across has also raked Jon Stewart over the coals, putting him in the same class as some nobodies named Chris Rock and David Letterman. Too bad their careers never recovered. As always with stuff like this, The Onion nails it.
