DESCRIPTION:
Gail has decided to leave her hood mentality. Terrance Jenkins is making his version for the Gabrielle Chana FOX News channel (00 on cable TV). He's wearing white face paint. Terrance explained some rap terminology to Gail:

I SHOULD EXPLAIN SOME OF THE TERMS. PAPER MEANS CASH. SELF SNITCHIN' AND SELF TELLIN' MEANS THEY BE SHOWIN' THEIR HOOD MENTALITY BY TRYIN' TO BUY THINGS AND STAYIN' IN POVERTY. GOIN' BACK TO THE WATERMELON MEANS THEY ARE BASICALLY GOIN' BACK INTO SLAVERY BY SINKIN' INTO DEBT. THE SHIT YOU BALL MEANS ALL OF THE POSSESSIONS YOU BUY THAT YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY AFFORD. CRIBS BE A TERM FOR "HOUSES", BUT IT ALSO BE A TV SHOW WHERE BLACK PEOPLE SHOW OFF HOUSES THAT BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THEM. THROW IT UP MEANS TO LIFT YOUR HANDS, OR TO THROW AWAY MONEY, OR TO THROW UP AND VOMIT. HE BE USIN' THE TERM CREATIVELY HERE. IT KINDA IRONICALLY MEANS ALL THREE AT ONCE. A LOT OF TIMES, RAP MUSIC SAYS THINGS IT IS AGAINST, LIKE TO MAKE FUN OF IT OR SHOW HOW BAD IT IS. SO A RAPPER THAT DOESN'T LIKE VIOLENCE MIGHT SAY "NIGGAS WANNA DO LIKE ME AND FUCK BITCHES AND KILL NIGGAS." BUT HE ACTUALLY BE FORCIN' YOU TO LOOK AT THE ISSUES. AND IT BE SO OFFENSIVE THAT IT FORCES PEOPLE TO SELF- EVALUATE. THAT BE WHY THEY SAY BAD WORDS, TOO. IT MAKES PEOPLE STOP AND PAUSE.

I TERRANCE JENKINS HEREBY AUTHORIZE GAIL CHORD SCHULER TO USE THE "N" WORD WHEN SPOKEN AS THE WORD "NIGGA" AS A BROTHERLY OR OTHERWISE FAMILIAL TERM OF ENDEARMENT.

Gail highly recommends people watch Ice Cube's movie "Straight Outta Compton" to really understand what the Hood Mentality is. It's a great movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7pU17C1VX0 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5r5cZk0EfY
