Stunts, Blunts And Hip Hop by Diamond D And The Psychotic Neurotics

Here's an album that none of you will probably care about, but take my word it's pretty good. Diamond D never got really famous as a rapper or anything, but as a producer he's had a pretty illustrious career. Listening to this album that's not really surprising, since most of the lyrics are pretty basic, and his style of delivery is just matter-of-fact, nothing flashy. However, the production on this album is terrific, and he pulls from a variety of jazz/r&b/kids music sources to create really great background tapestries for his mediocre lyrics. So I guess if we're riding in the car one day you can ask and I'll put this album on, but I can't really urge you to go out and buy it with all of my heart.

    Why in the song is he allowed to say "breasts" but not "ass"?

    Breasts is not a slang term? Besides, I think he self-edited that anyway, because it's the same on the album.
