How would you rate level 41? We got Bernice Hibbert and the Hibbert's rapping son. IMO it's another ok level. Still can't believe EA made this obscure rap guy premium.
He is not a rapper. He has NEVER BEEN SEEN ON THE SIMPSONS EVER. Only just mentioned once. Just cause he's black and has headphones he's a rapper?
No I remember reading speculation before he was released that he was a rapper. I didn't know that turned out to be false.
For me the interesting thing coming out of several threads discussing the "rapper" issue is how disparaging we are toward rap music. If he came out in tuxedo and tails and someone called him a classical pianist, we wouldn't see that as an insult. It certainly wouldn't be seen as "racist". But to even insinuate that someone is a rap musician seems to have a negative connotation. It's as if we're "accusing" a person of being a rapper. Just because an art form is not to our liking does not make it junk. Rap music is innovative. Not inferior.
Just sayin. :)
Say word. Ha. I love hip hop Annette. To me it was awkward because people were assuming he was a rapper simply because of appearances.
I voted "ok" because they finally gave us a non premium female character - albeit one that isn't very likable.
