Sorry, I just realized I'm bored of this meme. Nobody better post any more of these, because you all must appease my whims.

Where will Kanye interrupt you? (http://www.facebook.com/tos.php?api_key=13af7815be60044b24e07cadb84575be&next=http%3A%2F%2Fapps.facebook.com%2Fwherewillkanlknbjh%2Fquiz%2Fquestions%3F_fb_fromhash%3D0d1c6c9a51f3f4e61974254ef707172d&v=1.0&canvas)

let's face it, the english language has needed a good contraction for "I am going to" for a while
"I'mma the shops and get some bread yo"
come on try it out with me
-
Would you prefer "gonna?"
-
actually let's click that link instead
-
Uh um er kanye west er um ah
-
Would you prefer "gonna?"
the joke is that you can't really contract two things that are already contractions into each other, but Kanye did it anyway because he's the man
it's a great joke I swear
goddamnit.
(also if you are saying there is anything wrong with saying "gonna" you are possibly the most wrong you have ever been in your life)

So, does anyone else think the dress she was wearing is terrible?

Also, no one ever told her not to touch her hair or face onstage.

polite Kanye image
I know a lot of people have said that Kanye is a RL troll but I would actually believe it if he started doing this

Glaswegians have been doing that for a long time. Without the yo, of course.
-
Didn't that spears woman do this too, recently?
...
Yes. She did.
"Oh baby, baby
Does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that Imma buy her
Do you know just what she likes?
(Oh!)"
It sounds like a speech defect.

This is not the Serious Pony Discussion Forum what are you doing trying to turn this into an intelligent discussion, capable of comprehension??
-
Imma let you finsih your intelligent discussion, but the other forum has had the best intelligent discussion ever.
-
Tommy, you haven't heard Kanye West? He's the popstar that's admitted to locking himself in his computer room for a day or two at a time so he can masturbate to porn. (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/article559200.ece)
-
That is not what he is saying there. He's just saying he's got so much that he could.
-
And man let's face it, these days who doesn't.
-
Also, here is the best one of these.

The best thing about YouTube is it at long last gives children with substandard intelligence an appropriate creative outlet.
-
I am not certain that I trust Kanye West's word. Can somebody please link the two "music videos" in question for me? Thankyou!
-
Taylor Swift (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AHzIq_n-DQ)
Beyonce (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVEGfH4s5g&feature=channel)
I think that's the right two anyway.
-
So wait, what happened here?
A rapper said something kinda dumb sounding and grammatically nonsensical?
STOP THE PRESSES.
-
I MEAN, DA PRESSIZZLES.
-
YO
-
Wait, is "imma" really unfamiliar to some of you? I thought it was a pretty well-known bit of slang.
-
I would nominate this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjecYugTbIQ) over both of those shitheaps

That's The Sun. Are you going to link National Enquirer when someone asks about Elvis next?
Bassist, I never understood where it got to mean I'm going to, I had always heard it as a version of I'm, so you would say "Imma gonna" for how people use it these days. Then again, I heard it from rednecks, rather than rappers, so that could be the difference.

Whoa. I can't imagine somebody doing more work to say something. Maybe the crowd I hang out with tends to like rap more? I can't believe that to be the case. Maybe people say it more in the south?
-
Taylor Swift (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AHzIq_n-DQ)
Beyonce (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVEGfH4s5g&feature=channel)
I actually like the Beyonce video quite a bit. I like that it's simple, and has some pretty interesting choreography. But what's she wearing on her hand?
This hasn't been posted in this thread yet: this (http://www.offuhuge.com/media/197962/justin_timberlake_snl_beyonce_single_ladies_video/).

Bassist, I hear "I'ma" for "I'm going to" all the time here (in California). But I hang out with the kind of nerdy crowd that's decided it's okay to like Old-School West Coast G-Funk non-ironically (my boyfriend claims that Dr. Dre is the most influential musician of our time; see Stuff White People Like #107 (http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/08/18/107-self-aware-hip-hop-references/) for more info), so my results may be slightly skewed.

Can I be the first one to say that that Taylor Swift video is, like, beyond terrible? Honestly, it was like a shitty '90s movie but in an era where we're supposed to know better.

honestly don't do this it's embarrassing
-
Dang this was probably the best publicity stunt that's been done for a long time. How many more people are actively looking for those two videos as well as all of Kanye's music? It would be more surprising to me if it wasn't staged but there's no way to know that I guess.
Also I say "I'mma" all the time as well because I'm lazy and inadvertently slur all my words together anyway. I could maybe be a southern rapper.
-
Yo, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but the threads last week had the best page breaks of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Man, the whole internet is so flooded with this meme that I can't even find where it originated from. Anyone got a vid?

Yo Taylor, I'm sorry (http://music.todaysbigthing.com/2009/09/18)
-
Man so guys I just read this thread and like, you guys don't understand I'mma. First off, it oughta be spelled I'ma. I don't see where that second 'm' comes from. The internet at large kinda dropped the ball on that. Second-like, it ain't "I am going to" contracted. Like, it is kind of a re-imagining of language conventions. You can say "I'ma do a thing" or "I'ma gonna do a thing".
I'ma get off my horse and let you finish, though.
-
Man so guys I just read this thread and like, you guys don't understand I'mma. First off, it oughta be spelled I'ma. I don't see where that second 'm' comes from.
phonological convention regarding vowel length and voice onset times between syllables, like the extra n in "gonna" which is conveniently enough where I'mma borrows its final vowel from, which is a good proof that this:
Second-like, it ain't "I am going to" contracted. Like, it is kind of a re-imagining of language conventions.
is completely wrong. All contractions are re-imaginings of language conventions what are you talking about.
also: like is a really ugly word when used unnecessarily
-
Well I don't know about that. It is kind of an outlier. Compare the sounds of tiny and tinny? Those are weird though. Also you are Australian so our comparative notions of how things sound could be way off.
If we were to contract ain't and a would we wake it ain'tta? I think it's probably because someone thought I'ma looked too short and silly. I've just been typing I'ma for a while now and it seems odd to see I'mma everywhere all off a sudden.
-
Well I don't know about that. It is kind of an outlier. Compare the sounds of tiny and tinny?
that is another example perfectly illustrating what I am talking about, discrepancy in the length of vowels causes voice onset time to increase causing a partial ghosting of the consonant sound in between them thank you for proving me right!
Also you are Australian so our comparative notions of how things sound could be way off.
Well I heard Kanye say something in the same accent the rest of the world did so this isn't really relevant at all
If we were to contract ain't and a would we wake it ain'tta? I think it's probNO CONTENT/NOT RELEVANTably because someone thought I'ma looked too short and silly. I've just been typing I'ma for a while now and it seems odd to see I'mma everywhere all off a sudden.
-
thank you for proving me right!
oh yeah I guess so. I thought I had another point but I've no idea what it was now
P.S. I am just taking a 101 course in a new language and thinking about how sentences are formed and what the hell sense does saying "what it was now" make, huh?
-
Sorry if I am being a dick but I made a resolution to only mouth off about things that I actually know about.
Unfortunately this is one of them.

It's cool I can take your dick.

Also I've really enjoyed the discussion above. It's made me google something interesting for the first time in a long time. I'ma gonna look into this contractions of words thing.
:-D

hilariously the black eyed peas appear to have used both spellings of it

was googlin yeezy's blog for any use of "i'mma" (fission: mailed) and found two things
1) woah (http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=235958_-1__0_~0_-1_9_2009_0_0&content=&month=07_2009&em3298=&em3282=&em3281=&em3161=)

That's funny.
(http://www.inklingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/fergie-pees-her-pants.jpg)
I also found this funny.
The two that aren't Will I Am scare the shit out of me though & that's not funny.
Johnny C you have just cost me my day. Oh lord is that ever a funny blog, it's on a par with Fred Durst & Courtney Love's internet out pourings, I can't stop reading it....
-
p.s. fun fact did you guys know that kells' "i'm a flirt" is actually using "i'm a" the same way that the lolcat people decided kanye used "i'mma"? a challenger appears god i wish i could sleep
also kanye's blog is legitimately awesome and he likes all kinds of cool shit. come for the meltdowns, stay for the posts about interesting architecture.
-
oh yes. agreed. It's taking me a while to get used to reading the way he types though...
Wow, His favourite blog list is pretty interesting: Cobrasnake really? Then I had a look at stuffwhitepeoplelike (He must be on there right?)as I hadn't for ages. This made me laugh:
Often it can be easier to find common ground with a white person by talking to them about something you both hate. Discussing things you both like might lead to an argument over who likes it more or who liked it first. Clearly, the safest route is mutual hatred. When choosing to talk about something that white people hate, it’s best to choose something that will allow white people to make clever comments or at the very least feel better about themselves. Currently, the easiest way to do that is to ask a white person for their thoughts on people who wear Ed Hardy.
Ed Hardy is a clothing company that makes a wide range of expensive t-shirts, hoodies, and jeans. These clothes are notable for their use of elements from classic tattoo design such as skulls, hearts, and dragons. On the surface, the use of the words “classic” “tattoo” and “t-shirt” would seem like a logical fit for white people, but it is not. White people hate these clothes unilaterally and it is advised that you merely accept that at face value. If you were to ask a white person to explain why a regular size dragon logo is ok but one that goes around the neck is not, you would be trapped in a long and fruitless conversation.
To put this in proper perspective, Ed Hardy is so hated by white people that it cannot be worn ironically. This is no small feat. As it stands, the only other entries in this category are Nazi Uniforms, Ku Klux Klan Robes, and self-tanner.
Since you cannot in good conscience have an Ed Hardy themed party, the best way to make use of this white hatred is to give your stories a little more appeal to white people.
For example, if you take the reasonable but not compelling story: “I got cut off in traffic this morning and when I honked the guy gave me the finger,” and replace it with: “I got cut off in traffic this morning by this guy in an Ed Hardy shirt. I honked and then he gave me the finger!” The story will become sixty percent more interesting to white people because it allows them to make a witty response like: “I guess that douche bag had to get to a UFC party or a nightclub event he was promoting.”
Follow this up with a laugh, a high five, and a compliment about the acceptable shirt the white person is wearing and you will find yourself with a new friend.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH TYPING LIKE THIS????????!???? YO YOU SEE HIS POSTS ALL OVER MTV AN THE INTERNET AN SHIT BUT YOU AINT EVER ACTUALLY STOPPED TO READ EM??? COME ON!! KANYE PUTS HIS HEART OUT ON THE LINE FOR YOU, EVERY DAY, EVERY POST, EVERY SONG, EVERY APPEARANCE, EVERY EVERYTHING!!!!!!
-
it's been pointed out that the variant "imma" is preferable to "i'mma" so imma use it when i'm feelin footloose and caps-free

honestly don't do this it's embarrassing
So is simultaneously being intelligent and enjoying rap music.
I kid
...OR DO I?

hopefully so cause otherwise i'll have to unveil my complex and sophisticated rube goldberg device that, when completed, spray paints the word "doofus" on your chest

and like i don't really think you're a doofus and it was a bitch to set up so i don't wanna waste it. you gotta make it special.

Seriously though can we agree that Kanye West is probably just kinda a dumbass?
-
Did that not happen yet?

Seriously though can we agree that Kanye West is probably just kinda a dumbass?
He's not a dumbass, he's just like Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents" when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave. Ben Stiller wasn't a dumbass, he was just trying too hard!
-
Well I got told off for making fun of him.

Have you read his book?

Also, he's a prolific and critically acclaimed songwriter as well, which is hard to be if you're dumb.

Whoa. I can't imagine somebody doing more work to say something. Maybe the crowd I hang out with tends to like rap more? I can't believe that to be the case. Maybe people say it more in the south?
Just noticed this. It isn't really more work, it sort of... bounces. The extra a at the end of I'm brings your mouth into pretty much the perfect position to roll straight on into the g, sort of like auctioneer speak but not so fast, rolls off the tongue easier than going from m directly to g.
Or maybe it is just how people are used to talking. Some people say "I do believe I will be heading down to the grocery store after we finish our dinner," some people say "I'ma goin' to the shop after this." It's just how people speak. I myself have quite a bit of variation in my vocabulary and dialect depending on what I am talking about and the mood I am in at the time.
-
I would just like to weigh in that I think if you're dropping the apostrophe, imma is totally the way to go.
-
Well I got told off for making fun of him.
Well no it's just the way you attempted to zing Kanye just showed you up as being really white. Like, really super-duper white. And it was kind of cringe-worthy. It's like whenever your parents try to impress your friends with pop culture knowlege.
-
And it was kind of cringe-worthy. It's like whenever your parents try to impress your friends with pop culture knowlege.
this is more on the money. it's like when your parents tell you "i'm down with rock and roll" and then they put on triumph and start parent-dancing and your girlfriend politely excuses herself and you never see her again and then you're drinking an $8 bottle of wine by yourself on friday night while playing batman on the xbox
-

Do you not think for one second that that may have been intentional?
-
Like I am not that stupid come on.
-
I demand you take an internet IQ test to prove it.
-
The plot thickens
-
Whatevs.
This may be common knowledge to you pop culture aware types, but how did he get on stage? Like, I know he was probably in the VIP area, but still...?
-
He was probably near the stage, and nobody would expect someone like him (read: famous) to try to get on stage, so security was completely blindsided?
-
Maybe it was staged? Man no way that could happen what am I thinking.
-
But like, why didn't they drag him of instantly.
Also why was his mic tuned in? or did he steal hers.
-
He stole hers.
-
If it wasn't staged- something which I refuse to discount, especially considering Kanye has a history of invading the stage at MTV awards ceremonies (http://www.spike.com/video/kanye-wests-mtv/2784958)- then it probably had a lot to do with security being a mix of completely shocked and recalcitrant to actually give a VIP the bum's rush off of the stage.
-
obviously the whole thing is a dastardly plan to make the country relaxed while the lizard-men take over the government!
Also yeah, the more I think about it, why wasn't he dragged off, or the mic turned off once he grabbed it? The sound tech turned it off after kanye's speil, so then swifty didn't get to say anything after that. there are a few things that don't add up, but I also don't really care about it that much.
-
Maybe MTV just hates Taylor Swift
-
They're not the only ones
-
hat where are you come in here and argue with the last thing I said.
tell me it needs the apostrophe or it's no good.
I just liked what we had going there.
Tell me off my grammar's bad.
-
To be fair, the sound guy probably couldn't see what was going on on stage, and the sound desk might not even have been manned, so it could have been that's just how long it took to run in and find the right button.
-
Plus they probably didn't know if it was kosher or not. It is an awards show and awards shows sometimes do silly things, and as a sound guy you probably don't want to just go ahead and make the executive decision to cut this guy if you aren't sure or not and if you are TV producer then you probably don't want Kanye to rant for too long and just insult this girl, but also you want people watching your show. Kanye's rant has, I think, had a positive impact on on the advertising potential of future awards broadcasts.
-
James is on the money. If they'd cut his mic off, we wouldn't still be talking about it.
-
I didn't pay much attention to whether or not this was answered on this last page, but if I remember correctly, he was already on stage for something to do with the house band. He was their MC or something.
-
seriously, the dude will never live this down. this is as epic as chuck norris was back like 2 years ago when he was all the internet rage.
-
I will never tire of that wordfilter
-
i chose to ignore "critically acclaimed" and "songwriter" for the sake of comedy.
The problem is ignoring that stuff made it not funny.
recalcitrant
That was pretty much the opposite of what you meant. Kanye was recalcitrant, security was reluctant.
-
What the hell... I do not remember typing recalcitrant at all. Y'all know what I mean.
-

In all fairness, it's a damn good game and $8 bottles of wine could be considered fiscally responsible in some circles.
-
For no particular reason I started reading old episodes of QC and happened to take note of the dialogue in this episode:
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=184
Note Faye's line in the first panel. jeph disagrees with this spelling
-
I AM VINDICATED
-
Faye is drunk; no one got good grammar when they spiffy.
-
I will never tire of that wordfilter
Can someone PM me what that is supposed to be? Thanks.
-
it's chuck norris. it's changed to anal prolapse, because of all the jokes to do with him at one point.
why did't you just PM dovey and ask what the word filter was, seeing he obviously already knew?
-
Well, because there are probably other newer folks wondering the same thing. It's not like a private discussion, he's asking for clarification about how the forum functions.
-
That and it's a given that more people probably know what it means and posting it here rather than PMing Dovey and waiting for a response from him would probably yield results more quickly.
-
Because it came up?
-
I just want someone to PM me :c
unless yr an uggo
-
what if I'm chuggo?
ah cmon pm a guy
