SYRACUSE, New York (AP) -- Syracuse University students taking "Hip-Hop Eshu: Queen B@#$H101 -- The Life and Times of Lil' Kim" will have a guest speaker Wednesday -- the multiplatinum recording artist herself.

Kim accepted an invitation to speak to the class, which is an accredited course being taught by English professor Greg Thomas. She'll also meet with faculty and about 100 other invited students during her visit to discuss her role in the hip-hop culture and her experiences as one of its leading female stars.

"I am honored and quite proud that a class is being taught on my sensationalist lyrics, unique style and fashion and leadership role within the hip-hop community," the 29-year-old rapper said in a statement.

The class is one of a growing number of courses being offered by colleges and universities around the country that look at the growth of hip-hop as a cultural movement.

The Syracuse course requires students to read Kim's song lyrics as literary texts and analyze her iconography in videos and performances, according to the course description.




You have GOT to be kidding me.

How Many Licks Lyrics

[Sisqo]
Hold up
So what you're saying is, oh
(Niggaz got me pissed like Lil' Kim)
You want to get freaky again, aight
A-ooh-ah-ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Lil' Kim]
I've been a lot of places, seen a lot of faces
Ah hell I even fuck with different races
A white dude - his name was John
He had a Queen Bee Rules tattoo on his arm, uh
He asked me if I'd be his date for the prom
and he'd buy me a horse, a Porsche and a farm
Dan my nigga from Down South
Used to like me to spank him and cum in his mouth
And Tony he was Italian (Uh-huh)
And he didn't give a fuck (Uh-huh)
That's what I liked about him
He ate my pussy from dark till the mornin
Called his girl up and told her we was bonin
Puerto Rican papi, used to be a Deacon
But now he be sucking me off on the weekend
And this black dude I called King Kong
He had a big ass dick and a hurricane tongue

[Sisqo]
So, how many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Cause I've got to know)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Lil' Kim]
This verse goes out to my niggaz in jail
Beatin they dicks to the double-X-L; Magazine (uhh)
You like how I look in the aqua green? Get your Vaseline
Roll some weed with some tissue and close your eyes
Then imagine your tongue in between my thighs
[*Moans*] Baby.. ohh.. yes ohh!
Jailer.. open up.. cell, block, eight
[*sexual sounds*]
Alright nigga, that's enough
Stop, look and listen; get back to your position
Kim got your dick hard, startin fights in the yard
Hotter than a Pop Tart fresh out of the toaster
Niggaz do anything for a Lil' Kim poster
Eses, Bloods, Crips, all the thugs
Up North in the hole, they all wanna know

[Sisqo]
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me, ha)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me, oh yeah)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Lil' Kim]
If you drivin in the street, hold on to your seat
Niggaz, grab your meat while I ride the beat
And if you see a shiny black Lamborghini fly by ya
(Shoom!) That's me the Knight Rider
Dressed in all black with the gat in the lap
Lunatics in the street - gotta keep the heat
Sixty on the bezel, a hundred on the rings
Sittin pretty baby with a Cash Money bling
12 A.M. I'm on the way to club
After three bottles I'll be ready to fuck
Some niggaz even put me on their grocery lists
Right next to the whip cream and box of chocolates
Designer pussy, my shit come in flavors
High-class taste niggaz got to spend paper
Lick it right the first time or you gotta do it over
Like it's rehearsal for a Tootsie commercial

[Sisqo]
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me, ha)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me, oh yeah)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Let me know, let me know)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh yeah)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Yeah)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Baby tell me)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?

This has to be a joke. I would think she should talk to a plastic surgeon class instead.

Why would any college professor bother to make a class revolving around a singer with an extreme self-image complex who just sings about having sex all the time, unless it was some psychology case study or they had a raging hard-on for said singer?

Um... Li'l Kim's unapologetic use of profane and sexually explicit lyrics represents a bold and subversive reclamation of female African-American identity in post-feminist popular culture; by using such language and speaking through a manufactured persona she reinscribes its meaning, thereby simultaneously reappropriating and mocking predominant feminist attitudes, while provoking both arousal and terror in her male listeners. Um... something something, Madonna, something, threat to masculinity, something something.

(I've been out of grad school for a while, and I've losing my touch as a bullshit artist--maybe someone else can do better.)

Yeah, I read about this in the local paper a couple of days ago; needless to say, I was flabbergasted. I could launch into a huge discussion about what this says about our society, but I'd undoubtedly be pilloried as I have been in the past for making commonsensical statements. I think the most uncontroversial way to view such a thing is that academia is merely latching on to our nation's current fascination with all things "hip hop" and exploiting it to curry favor with minority students and to portray an image of cultural sensitivity and awareness, in keeping with the generally "inclusive" intellectual climate of our institutions of higher learning.


Still, I don't see how it can be construed as anything but an indictment of our society that somebody so clearly filthy, corrupt, and unworthy (and quite frankly insubstantial and shallow) is seen as worthy of serious academic discussion. I wish I still had the newspaper so I could post the head of the Syracuse english department's comments about why the course-- based solely on Lil' Kim's life and work-- is vital (yes, I said vital). He said something along the lines of that her work "dealt with the notions of power and control in a male-dominated society that sociologists and psychologists have been trying to come to grips with for years now; how she struggles through her lyrics to create a new sexual consciousness; and how her lyrical mastery addresses the dominant constructs of gender in our society and helps to reshape them." Yes, we're talking about the same Lil' Kim here.


Yes, the head of a department in an American university actually said this, though witnessing many other such "courses" being offered over the years around the country, I can't say that I'm surprised. Still, this is a new low-point for our nation. Mind you, these same institutions in all likelihood don't have entire courses devoted to such prominent and influential personalities as Einstein, Chaucer, Ben Franklin or our other founding fathers, Martin Luther King Jr., W.E.B. Dubois, Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, or even freaking Chomsky, for crissakes. But Lil' fucking Kim is worthy of discussion and scrutiny? :lol Yeah, perhaps in a "sideshow" sorta way, but not in a serious academic institution that has pretensions of intellectual legitimacy and integrity.


What's next? A course examining Paris Hilton's cultural "contributions" and merits? :lol Somebody please ship me off to Mars, ASAP. :D
 
It never ceases to amaze me how people can successfuly pull the wool over others eyes, giving shallow trash the illusion of substance.

You fool! You commoner!


Can't you see that the Sprite can is a metaphor for the capitalist excesses of our society and corporate encroachment on our legislative process, and that, by deep-throating the Sprite can, Lil' Kim is making deep and meaningful social commentary, couching it in overt sexual imagery only to broaden its appeal and thus ensure more widespread dissemination (pun intended :p) of her intellections. It's a shame that your own intellect is so underdeveloped that you can't appreciate such profundity. :D


LIL' KIM 4 SENATE!!!1 :lol

Loki: Now explain "Yeah I take it up the butt, yeah, yeah, what" :lol

Hip-Hop Eshu: Queen B@#$H101 -- The Life and Times of Lil' Kim <- that's a REAL limited time class at Syracuse University. Not kidding, it's a REAL CLASS. Fuck studying Colin Powell, or Martin Luther King Jr or even Tupac. Lets study LIL' KIM.

I wonder if it's an Anatomy class. Or if they teach girls how to give head without messing up their knees.



Student: "How many licks does it take til' you get to the center of the..."

Sisqo interrupts: "UNH, OH!"

Lil Kim starts: "Well, it depends on the actions before the cunniilingus and the trajectory and placement of the tongue...*

Sisqo interrupts: "UN OHH YEAH!"

Lil Kim pauses, Sisqo puts his head down, Kim continues: "Now if there was intercourse before the cunnilingus, the clitorus is already stimulated, so it may take less licks, so how many licks..."

Sisqo interrupts again: "OOH I GOOOT TO KNOW BAYBAY"

Kim continues: "depends on that, and if the tongue is nowhere near the more sensitive parts of the vagina then it wouldtake substantially more licks.."

Sisqo interrupts: "TEELL MEEEEE, HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TIL..."

Lil kim pulls out a gun from her handbag and shoots Sisqo in the throat. Sisqo squals like Michael Jackson with his hair on fire and dies.

Lil Kim continues: "Than it would then just stimulating the clitorus. Any more questions?"

Student stands: "Did B.I.G. beat you?"

Lil Kim gets inflammed: "See, Now I gotta Get Ig'nant on yo' ass"



OMG, I found a video clip of Lil Kim visiting her class.

O.M.G. She talks about the importance of knowing english, and being very affluent, but she speaks like gutter trash. How ironic.

*looks at video*

She looks like a combination of a Barbie doll and an anime character

Nothing wrong with how she talks though in that video though (she apparently keeps all the sex to her music.)
