Hip-Hop Island

Momma Shah is known for her monthly motherly warnings of men to stay away from. This month's offender: Rappers. (Man, is she gonna be mad when she finds out...) Her rapper rant goes something like this: "Beta, we are not interested in rappers. They're too dangerous and always getting women pregnant. And I don't like the bad language they use." It's only cute because she's older AND naive -- sometimes. So imagine my shock when she recently retracted her momma-knows-best warnings because she "likes that Wayne singer."

WHAT? WHO?

She proceeds to explain that during her weekly segment of AVS (Asian Variety Show -- hello, all Indian moms plan their cooking schedule around it), she heard about Jay Sean and Lil Wayne! "That Punjabi guy is very, very nice and cute!" I think Momma Shah has a crush... "That Wayne. He has too many tattoos, but he is a nice rapper. You can marry them." I'm sorry I think my hearing is off. What did she say?!?! I'm now "allowed" to hang out with only "nice" rappers: Jay Sean AND Lil Wayne. This is the best.news.ever.
