Fonzworth Bentley feat. Kanye West & André 3000 “Everybody”
Everybody’s favorite butler (and future reality TV star) dances like a hood-rat version of Pee-Wee Herman and gets Kanye to sing the hook, but God bless Fonzworth Bentley for giving us a new André 3000 verse that has already overshadowed the upcoming Big Boi solo album.

The economics of "sounding black." →
New research suggests that how you speak relates to how much you earn. For example:
“Blacks who ‘sound black’ earn salaries that are 10 percent lower than blacks who do not ‘sound black,’ even after controlling for measures of intelligence, experience in the work force, and other factors that influence how much people earn.”
Interestingly, this form of racism actually transcends the racial divide: white dudes who “sound black” earn six percent less than anyone who sounds like Fonzworth Bentley.
