Why V.I.C. is great.



1. He is a ninny (read: dork), and I relate to that.
2. When singing about his [edit: future hypothetical] wife, WIFEY TYPE, he feels that AM soft pop + "Laffy Taffy" is the best way to express his love. "You gon' make me take you to church, girl..."
3. He beats the pvssy up and then sez his prayers!
4. He loves his brother, which may or may not be a metaphor for Soulja Boy. I wasn't paying attention.
5. Says "boobies."
6. Seems to be inordinately anxious about not being as good as Lil' Wayne. Seems comically resigned to being a second-tier rapper (which is still an ego trip, but I kind of like his overreaching fourth-tier-ness), prouder of celebrity anyway.
7. Novelty beats to match novelty rhymes, spirit of hyphy, but more retarded.
8. Awkward jungle theme in recurring skits to accompany his title of African Prince, brings African stereotyping back to swing era fetishism, thus authentifyin'.
9. "Get Silly" remix sillier than "Get Silly."
10. Most songs much sillier than "Get Silly."
11. Soulja Boy in best "Get Silly" cameo (genuine) shocker: "Only rapper on MySpace with more friends than Tom." "You are a prisoner behind these eight bars." "Got a car I can't even pronounce."

PS: what's up with suicide doors being a hot name-drop semi-recently (well, David Banner did it, anyway, and T-Pain in "69" from last year)? Is that what happens when you feel weird bragging about less energy-efficient aspects of yer vehickle? (VIC: says prayers, committed to finding viable fuel alternatives.)

PPS: Ew, I'm older than T-Pain.
