Rhymefest

Rhymefest

Ever since he co-wrote the Grammy Award-winning "Jesus Walks," it's evident Rhymefest is one intellectual cat who is not afraid to speak his mind. This obviously makes him the perfect candidate for SOHH Whatchusayin'. Although the Chi-Town emcee was working hard in the studio, he took some time out for SOHH.com to sound off on a bunch of wild quotes.

In this SOHH.com exclusive, the Blue Collar emcee talks about a variety of things including how Jay-Z is Hip-Hop's Yoda, Juelz Santana's hipness and of course, orgys (I mean Orgyisms). You can also learn what really kills black babies.

SOHH.com: Rhymefest, here is the first of many wild quotes I'm going to ask you to comment on today. Former Education Secretary William Bennett recently said on his talk show, "But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could. If that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossibly ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down."

Rhymefest: Wow...did he really say that? Oh yeah, you can make my abortion response simpler. You ain't got to abort every black baby. You can kill them by listening to Hot 97. They'll be dead in a matter of hours. All you got to do is put on BET in conjunction with all your favorite commercial radio stations. That'll kill them. Look, they're dying already.

"Yeah, he [Kanye West] asked me to stop discriminating and I looked at him crazy."

SOHH.com: (Laughing) Wow ... Well, New Hampshire's Dr. Terry Bennett, speaking to an overweight patient who sued him, said: "Let's face it, if your husband were to die tomorrow, who would want you? Well, men might want you, but not the types you want to want you. Might even be a black guy."

Rhymefest: Oh, a black guy might want her ... If her husband were to die ... Well, what white people look at as overweight, we look to as thick. And the thing about white girls is they may be thick, but they don't be thick like black girl thick. They be thick like white girl thick, which is flabby when you take the pants off, but I don't know. Any white person who says somebody is overweight, I got to question that.

SOHH.com: Let's move on to what Lil' Kim said about 50 Cent: "How can you still be angry at people, still want to come at people? You're making money, you're selling millions of records. You should do something with that leverage."

Rhymefest: I think if this were Star Wars, 50 Cent would be the Sith Lord. It's like, "Yeah, yo" cuz he's the Sith Lord who can rap. That's why (laughing). He controls everything and if he's the Sith Lord, Jay-Z would be Yoda and yeah, the Jedi Council, it looks like they're getting their ass kicked (laughing), so they better do something quick.

SOHH.com: (Laughing) Ok, but who would be Darth Vader?

Rhymefest: Lil' Jon (laughing), you know him and Lil' Jon would combine.
