Ben Folds “Bitches Ain’t Shit”
2005
Let me just say that uber-white comedic attempts at rap annoy the hell out of me, particularly when it’s a lame attempt at old school rap from the early 80s.
That said, I believe that Ben Folds’ take on “Bitches Ain’t Shit” is a bit different because (a) the reconstruction of the song creates something entirely new and (b) it showcases just how vulgar the original version was.
Also, seeing it “being retired” at Bonnaroo 2008 was pretty awesome.
