Ben Folds - Bitches Aint Shit

[Potchi79]

Dana Carvey is so hilarious.

[ThisEpicJude]

Anyone got an instrumental of this?

[herpderpmonkey]

posting this shit on my facebook wall in commemoration of Singles Awareness Day.

[MrTakenUsername]

LOOOOOOOOOOL

[lindysunshine]

i fucking love this. <3

[SuperfuturePDX1]

this is ridiculous.

[itsonlykano87]

Fuck you, Liz Buxton.

[pm108sstkteom]

hey just to let you know, someone called dr. dre stole your song!

[michiyoyoshiku]

This will be my funeral song

[skcodnoob]

@LeshaAnn u a racist fuck huh?

[Username93611]

Severe dislike. When will white musicians stop taking over every bit of black culture and getting more credit for it than blacks do? I really enjoy Ben Folds's music, but not this shit. It's not irony, it's not satire, it's just a cover. People don't even bother to learn what actual irony and actual satire are any longer. Not to mention allegory and conceit. These things use to be literary concepts with important meaning.

[itsonlykano87]

@Username93611 Oh come on man, you hear the guy laughing as he's singing it.

[Username93611]

@itsonlykano87

And you don't understand how that makes it more insulting? I'm not black. I'm not affected. I just consider it a really lame act on Ben's part. Make your own music. Don't mock or steal culture from black people. Their music has been stolen and used by whites to become wealthy for more than a century now, and *white people* don't even get it. Like you.

[heizmon69]

@Username93611 whites use black music to get rich? excuse me? who are 90% of the customers of "gangster" rap? 14 year old white kids

[michiyoyoshiku]

@heizmon69

99% actually

[itsonlykano87]

@Username93611 I do get it bruv. I just don't consider it stealing. This is the 21st century and if you are still categorising music as white and black then you have the problem. Not Ben Folds.

[ohayimsunny]

@Username93611 Maybe he wasn't covering it to be ironic and hilarious? Maybe he just thought it would be a fun thing to do? You should probably talk to Ben, man.

[jaceking29]

@Username93611 there is no "culture" in calling women bitches.

[komamuras0wolfgirl]

That photo is my phone's wallpaper...

[corneliuswonder]

If the Chronic album was like this...<3

[Connador]

@LeshaAnn There's no conspiracy here, the Dr. Dre version has about 7 times as many views. Because of that and the fact that age restriction is from user-reports it would lead to the conclusion that the reason is simply because it hasn't been 'reported' enough.

[LeshaAnn]

Isn't it... interesting that the Dr. Dre version is age-restricted on You-Tube, but the ironic whitey cover version is not? Hmm...

[divz616]

@LeshaAnn Because when black kids hear these songs, they run around shooting people and impregnating other black kids. When they hear the Ben Folds version they just chill out, play dominoes, and drink malt liquor. lolz

[michiyoyoshiku]

@divz616

You're wrong. when WHITE KIDS here these songs. 

[minime170]

I wonder if it's actually serious. I mean, he has some really good sounds. Maybe it's to put emphasis on the lyrics with Dr.Dre has produced, which are extremely misogynist? What do you folks think?

[doctorbadwolfrose]

@minime170 when is ben folds ever serious? lol

[minime170]

@doctorbadwolfrose - Well, I think on a political basis, yeah. He has some pretty politically-aimmed songs. So, using that history, I would guess that it's political satire. However, I'm not sure. Would be cool if he answered this so I could know!! lol

[toct2902]

Rapgasm.

[revton3197]

I went back to the original..... this just displays how brilliant Ben Folds really is. I mean... these melodies....from nothing....

[kaaatiegr]

This has to be the best thing I have ever heard hahaha

[JuneauShores]

I used to get bitches, then i took an arrow to the... FUCK THAT JOKE

[GypsiesandRainbows]

Stupid, Epic fail. Landed on America has no talent.

[pm108sstkteom]

[benjamin2197]

A bunch of people at my school have just discovered the original version of this song, so now I'm debating whether or not to troll them and tell them that this is the original version

[SileSomers]

@benjamin2197 Do ittttttt (:

[thegunclub123]

@benjamin2197-Troll the shit out of them.

[munstertrux]

@benjamin2197 Take a AK-47 shove it up the asses of all the dumb bitches who thought YG was the original :D

[spagnogulan]

A beautiful demonstration of how to take a repulsive, objectionable piece of misogyny and turn it against itself.

[cfcfan1]

@spagnogulan Is the same song you ignorant racist cunt. SOOO fucking stupid. I guess if hitler killed jew to a musical it is ok with you fucking cunt

[hardtomakemyusername]

[themusicman1973]

[Mrben1111116]

Is there like an instrumental version of this?

[darklugia20]

i kinda do think the original is better though. just because dr.dre and snoop dog sound so funny in the beginning

[silvrwdge]

@darklugia20 original is obviously better cause aint no white boy gonna cover ANY gangsta song better.... and that includes Eminem

[benjamin2197]

@silvrwdge And yet you favorited "Nine in the Afternoon" by Panic! At The Disco

[rebelfpf59]

[thunderstruckv2]

@colorgaurdjunkie Ummmm... This a cover of Dr. Dre's song Bitches Aint Shit feat. Snoop Dogg on The Chronic. So, technically, it's not original, but it's still good.

[MrJoeStallion]

Always makes me feel better when a bitch has got me down

[simplystatic]

genius 

[thelastspartanII]

@DasBlitzKrieg1337 You sir, with respect, are dumb. Epic fail. Jazz is where it's at.

[spectre4210]

@thelastspartanII You sir, should not be using the term "epic fail" unless you want people to think you are dumb as well.

[heyitssomeguy]

Im the 420th like....

and im just about to smoke a fatty! It was meant to be.

[dandyboykb]

ahahah the calming music just make it even better

[dandyboykb]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[TASTYNUGGETSS]

Who the hell are these 6 people that hate this song? Go die in a well you faggots! :)

[esiotrot17]

@TASTYNUGGETSS Easy there, buddy. Maybe some of us don't like this song because Ben Folds, with all his smug irony, completely obliterates the meaning of the original. Dre tells us how awful it is in the hood; Ben Folds mocks him.

Dre's version says: "being black and poor in America is awful; drugs, crime, misogyny, powerlessness, it's inescapable"

This version says: "ha ha, listen to these lyrics, aren't these "gangstas" so funny and ridiculous? enjoy my lovely piano arrangement and laugh."

[thepiperad]

@esiotrot17 You are reading WAY too far into Dre's version. Except for the misogyny... that part is there. Although, the song is pretty much celebrating it, so in that way you're wrong again.

[esiotrot17]

@thepiperad I'm reading "WAY too far" into it? It's a song. With words. You're supposed to read into them. Fuck you if you think Dre's version doesn't deserve 400 characters on a YouTube video comment.

With respect to the misogyny, you know this song is actually about a guy, right? Eric Wright (also known as Eazy E) and Jerry Heller completely screwed over everyone in N.W.A., and Dre uses the "bitch" trope to make a comment on where loyalty and respect fit into his world

[ilikechese96]

@esiotrot17 if dre wanted to send a message he couldve done it with a little more class chill

[esiotrot17]

@ilikechese96 Can you define "class?"

Have you ever needed to express your anger? Have you ever been the victim of institutional racism? Me neither, but I bet it makes you wanna swear like crazy.

[SLCTraceur]

A Policy Debate coach showed this to me back in high school on the bus-ride to a tournament. I won that tournament.

[ICantDecryptTheCode]

@SLCTraceur

CX is for bitches.

LD is for gangsters

[mpthreeplaya]

[sergaiey]

[IamDanCope]

My pet cat told me to listen to this song

[PRSGuitarist1]

I learned about this song/artist from a school teacher. 'Nuff said.

[Quasar342]

@PRSGuitarist1 So did I!!!

[punkskater561]

@PRSGuitarist1 u serious haha

[TheKenTerry]

@PRSGuitarist1

[TrippinBaowlz]

[TheAndriy17]

mann bitches aint shit

[UberMith]

probably the best song ever

[B1ushMoe]

This might be the greatest thing in the world!

[zudthespud]

Ben Folds is a genius...

[Quinidex]

I have a hard time picturing Ben Folds how he looks in the picture in this video singing this song.... It just doesn't work

[angryellow313]

I thought this was going to be the stupidest shit I ever heard, but it's pretty damn sweet. I wonder what Dr. Dre thought of it.

[bwood21390]

This is enough to demonstrate why rap is the most illegit form of music in existence. Listen to the lyrics. Wow.

[Mitchgz1]

@bwood21390 not true listen to underground artists like One Be Lo, rap is one of the most legit forms of music

[Free411]

@bwood21390 what about country music they definitely do not have the most insightful lyircs all the time "She thinks my tractor’s sexy, it really turns her on, She’s always tearing at me, while I’m chuggin’ along" and i can give you more if you want, does tht make country not real music since theyre are some artist wh make songs with stupid lyrics because for every rap song you give me with bad lyrics i can give you one with amazing lyrics or i can match you with a country or rock song tht suks

[ArmusIctus]

@bwood21390 Somebody's a troll. :3

[Hippiegeekful]

@ArmusIctus sounds like ur mad,

lets talk about that

[ArmusIctus]

@Hippiegeekful I get frustrated when people call other music types "illegitimate" or allude to them being a lesser form of music than others. I personally am not a fan of rap. That does not mean that it's less legitimate music than, say, jazz.

[DasBlitzKrieg1337]

@ArmusIctus I disagree with you, jazz is just random notes, its garbage other than that i agree ith oyu

[ArmusIctus]

@DasBlitzKrieg1337 Firstly, you're thinking of bebop. Secondly, I was just pulling a genre out of my ass. I never claimed jazz to be the ultimate form of music. In fact, I'm pretty sure I claimed it to be equal with every other genre of music. From country to trip-hop to reggae. Now, I hate country in all of its incarnations, but that doesn't make it any less of music than anything else.

[chris110012]

@DasBlitzKrieg1337

Ignorant much?

[garbats]

@DasBlitzKrieg1337 Wow you're really into advertising your owns stupidity lol

[Frozensquirrel]

@DasBlitzKrieg1337 lol, jazz is just random notes? Do you know anything about music?

[deantamrmoffatt]

@Frozensquirrel fuck...he must listens to Hannah Montana to say that!

[slicetwiceknife]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VivikaViolence]

My friend David said this song is the reason that he gets over girls so quickly.

This song is amazing.

[amurrayrubin]

Fucking love this cover. Fucking love Ben Folds. I named my kid after one of his songs that's how much I love this dude. Siiiiigh.

[Dragon72992]

@amurrayrubin let me guess gracie?

[AubNoelle]

@amurrayrubin What is their name?

[Fano333]

it's sad that there are people out there who actually don't know that this is a Dre classic

[bornacriminal]

@Fano333

yea espacially cause its a eazy e diss track

[Bettythanks]

Sucking on his dick just to get a buck or two haha, classic song!

[tinkie3260]

best. song. EVER EPIC WIN

[creepy46]

This is infinitely better than the original.

[standardmachines]

The two bitches who disliked this video aint shit!

[skeetskeetskeet420]

@standardmachines now its 7 bitches! awww no!

[Rendaylor]

@standardmachines it's not a video, it's an image and a sound track wasting bandwidth, and it's not even worth the bandwidth it's wasting.

[Marshmelo57]

@standardmachines looks like 12 now, maybe they should open a house

[Chipwhitley274]

Ben Folds looks like Dana Carvey, sort of like the SNL Church Lady.

[1138IJ77GGDOS5]

I can say nigger, but its not what I say, but more of how people interpret it that makes it racist.

[rag3komplex]

@1138IJ77GGDOS5 your a racist...your trying to use a straw man to give some sense of validation for you lack of sensitivity...racism on a base emotional scale is just another way of using words to intentionally hurt someone....if i called your mother a cunt...am i Not being an asshole...i rest my case

[jeremyrodriguez94]

@rag3komplex fuck your cunt mom nigger bitch asshole.... balls

[1138IJ77GGDOS5]

The day society isnt afraid of the word nigger is the day racism will cease to exist. It is very possible to use the word in a non racist context. You need to read more Mark Twain. Which they censored nigger out of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, which can ultimatley ruin the entire philosophy of society. "Did anybody get hurt?" "No'm, killed a nigger." "Well thats good because people do get hurt." And I personally believe it is not used in an offensive manner in this song.

[Chani14922]

@1138IJ77GGDOS5 shut up

[hippiehatr]

reminds me of boys in the hood by dynamite hack

[TrickyDickStudios]

I find it interesting how true idiots equate political incorrectness to ignorance.

[ZeroSubscribe]

one bitch was offended after watching this video

[AgentMerk]

@ZeroSubscribe I'm sitting here with your mother and she's the the bitch that just added the second dislike. Now go play outside while she finishes me off.

[AgentMerk]

Are you fuckin serious they said nigga more than once! Not cool man! fuck this song i was a fan until now....

[coltsfan5644]

@AgentMerk Get the fuck over it. The song says nigga, so he did. Boo fuckin hoo

[AgentMerk]

@coltsfan5644 I'm guessing you're not black by the overall sense of detachment here. If I was cover a song by a white rapper where he refers to himself as a "Cracka" (I don't like that word either) I would understand but never use that word as I am black and I do not have theright to say that because it could easily be taken out of context and eventually end up being offensive. Ben Folds is smart enough to understand this dynamic. Yet he still says the N word, not cool.

[prehistoricpain]

@AgentMerk How exactly can you assume the color of a persons skin over the internet? You don't use the word? Congratulations, Its a song lyric, the level of hypocrisy surrounding this word is fucking pathetic. If it wasn't in the song, he wouldn't have added it in there for fun. If a black man can say the "n-word" 100 times in one song, its not a hurtful word. Sorry, but the double standard needs to stop. Also, saying "n word" instead is just as bad, you just make the other person think it.

[AgentMerk]

@prehistoricpain You're right, there's no way to tell over the internet. so that's correct. I just feel offended and uneasy. It's like a slap in the face, not 100 percent sure why. I just feel like i'm being laughted at.
