Creative English in Rap: Should their teachers be Chided, or Commended?

Snoop posted this pros and cons list on instagram recently.  I've reposted the (somewhat) work appropriate version:

Mitt has a dancing horse? 

There are lots of things inappropriate about this, but we don't have time to get into all of them.  Some of them need no explanation.  I'm not saying that some of them aren't right- I mean, come on, Snoop has a point- his name is 'Mitt'.  How can you take a country seriously when their leader is named 'Mitt'? Would VP Paul Ryan become the 'Mitten'?

My main point doesn't have anything to do with the presidential election, but is only illustrated by this list, and it is thus:  Who decided that the plural form of 'ho' would be 'hoes'?  If you make up a word- demeaning or otherwise- do standard grammatical rules apply?  Is there a gangster panel that debates these things?  I have decided that there is, and this is what it looks like:


There are a gaggle of men sitting around a table in the board room.  They all have low slung pants, and there is a bowl of toothpicks in the middle of the table, for which to help them think.  Dre stands up to call the meeting to order.  He's the leader because he's a doctor. 

"All right gentlemen- pencils at the ready- today's meeting has been called to discuss the grammatical issue of the pluralization of 'ho'.  Our options are thus: Shall we go the route of 'pros' and 'bros' and simply add an 's'?  Or shall we follow the lead of 'potato' and end with an 'es'?  Research shows that the 'es' lends more credibility to the word, and helps its case when we vote on addition into the misogynist dictionary, next year."


And they will all listen to him, because he did his dissertation in lyrical dialects. 

I leave you with the end of the meeting, happy weekend!

"To discuss for next week, friends; Faggot: We get a lot of flack for its use, but it rhymes so well with 'Maggot'.  How to proceed?"


***Disclaimer: Adrian feels I should clarify that I absolutely do not condone the use of any of the terms in this post that debase or demean any group of people.  Regardless of their pluralized spelling, or how well they rhyme with other words.
