Baker's Dozen
What Pirates and Gangsta Rappers Have in Common:
As a student of both Black Studies & Rap Culture, and Pirate Culture, I have conducted in depth studies of these two groups. The results of this research have led me to compile a list of commonalities between these two groups, which can be found below.
Pirates and Gansta Rappers Have the Following in Common:
- Fixation on gold and jewelry
- Injuries and harm to one's body sustained in conflict translate directly into status.
- Strong aversion to the authorities.
- Love of booty
- Song and lyric that glorify past exploits.
- Use of the word "yo!" (as in 'yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum' and 'yo whaddup?')
- Insistence on use of nickname and aliases.
- Healthy affinity for eye-patches
- Intense interest in boats
- High tolerance for promiscuous women.
- Healthy respect for individuals wielding hooks in lieu of hand
- Love of drink, especially rum (with or without the accompaniment of coke)
- Always travel with a crew.
