Now Doc may have his PHD, but he’s a playa, not a hater. But then one night, Doc got a ring on his celly. One of his boys be givin’ him the Cronkite that CNN’s Headline News was cheesin’, usin’ hip hop phrases in their headlines.


Now Doc is a baller, and he willin’ to bet the cheddar, the flow, the papers, the stacks, the cake, every G he got, that this CNN thing will turn out whack. The shady busta whose dome came up with this must be smokin’ the philly cigar, the twist, the trees, the bud. Now Doc is no Tipper. He gives props to those who be big pimpin, who want to chill with the young dawgs. Tuck the toast, cuz. Put a jimmy hat on that burner.


CNN won’t look tight by gettin’ ripe with it. Fa sho. They look like they be clownin’ to impress their dime pieces. So check this, CNN. Stop posin’. Keep it real. Aiight? Aiight!


Note: Dr. Ink learned his hip hop from The Black Eagle website. An earlier version of this story was edited by an up and coming hip hop artist from Tampa who goes by the name Remedy. Props to him.
