    Did anyone else think Warren G deserved to get almost robbed in that song? Who jumps into a dice game on the corner of 21 and Lewis with a bunch of strangers? That's just asking for it.

    Also, do you think that girl with the broken down car was cool with Nate just taking her to the East Side Motel like that? I mean she probably wants to call a tow truck or something, and now Nate Dogg's forcing her to go to an orgy?

    They interviewed Warren G because Young MC had a bar-mitzfah to play and the kids from Kris Kross are dead.

    Why are they interviewing Warren G in 2009 anyway? Was it to be "irreverent" or a little smug anyway, it looks like it backfired.

    Investing in the Crips, the very idea...

    I think if you look at Eric's interviews as a group, you'll see that he takes a consistently satirical approach, and that he was playing up his role as square clueless white guy here.

    @m1keh0gan: I guess this is his shtick, but in this instance, it was a bit boring and insulting.

    Quit trying to make "nilla" happen. It's not going to happen.

    @BenitaRaven: Agreed. While you're at it, just leave hip-hop alone. Dr. Dre is the best rap producer alive? Seriously?

    @the_coast_guard: Yeah. Seriously. Who do you have? No ID, who's been important for five minutes? Kanye? The Neptunes? Just Blaze? Timbaland? Or are you more a DJ Clue guy? I could keep going. No. I won't leave hip hop alone.

    the saddest part is that neither of these men realizes how stupid they sound.

    I love that most homophobic people seem to think being a lesbian is a phase one goes through in college or doesn't exist. I find it interesting that every time someone claims that they dislike homosexual PDA, they only talk about dudes.

    Also, duh. Vanity Fair, and pretty much all magazine media, is hella racist. If you only hire the kind of person whose sole exposure to people of color is that one kid in school or the unfriendly black hottie table at Yale, you're going to run into article like this.

    @Trulymadlyme: I think you are being too generous -- these magazines seem to mostly hire people who have met any non white person via pop culture because it's, you know, safer that way.

    @IamnotStarJones: And GW at VF is playing the role of the Jester. I get it. But let's not pretend these few people of color running around Conde Nast (see ADT at Vogue) aren't basically just cashing in on stereotypes.

    @Trulymadlyme: So when a Nilla racist who works for a magazine catering to Nillas scores an interview with a semi-enlightened homophobic black man, we get what, exactly?

    1) A hot mess - like Nilla wafers and chocolate pudding microwaved on high for 10 minutes?

    2) Ironic chocolate-covered pretzel logic?

    3) Blithering, smug idiocy?

    4) A splitting headache?

    5) A galloping case of misanthropy?
