In Da Club

While researching the previous bit I came across the lyrics for a song for the unsensation 50 Cent called 'In Da Club.' Right away I was giggling again, not because of the street pronounciation of "the," but the rather childish way of spelling it out as "Da." There's a billboard of Snoop Dawg in Hollywood with similar silliness. How am I supposed to take my Rap Music seriously of the Gangstas who chant it have all the street credibility of a Little Rascals. What's next, are the Rappers going to start putting their R's backwards as well?
