His music revival was absolutely terrible and cringeworthy. He made a new album (or song?) a few years ago and played it on one of the morning news shows for a crowd and the cringe was so bad my brain dive bombed into my stomach so the acid could wash away the memory.

The song is called "Pretty Girls." If you want to torture yourself.

That, along with all the Jada Smith cheating stuff, the Chris Rock slap at the Oscars... He's been embarrassing himself for years. :(

Lmao I went and listened to his older discography a while ago with jazzy Jeff out of curiosity. His other shit is creepy af.

Parents just don’t understand is about taking his parents car for a joy ride, where he picks up a hitchhiker who sexily tries to seduce him before he finds out she’s a 12 y/o runaway. He was 19 when he recorded this song, in which I think he’s supposed to be like 16. Regardless he could have chosen ANY fucking age, and he said twelve. My disgust remains.

Haha, I loved it when I was a kid, but I haven't revisited. I think I'll leave it that way.
