It’s time for another version of the LWB staple, Rap Lyrics Translated for White People! Recently, other sites have tried to duplicate this feature but they have failed to match the quality that a fairly unknown, sparsely updated blog focused on men’s lifestyle, can provide. I won’t link to those lame sites here since I don’t want to give them free publicity. But in the words of Jay-Z, whose lyrics are translated in this post, “for playin’ me, y’all shall ever remain nameless.”

Check out translated songs from Ludacris, Jay-Z, Three Six Mafia, Foxy Brown and Flo Rida below… (more…)

It’s time for everyone’s favorite LWB feature— Rap Lyrics Translated for White People…VOLUME THREE BABY!

If you’re not familiar, this feature is for any white person who has no clue what rappers are saying. Once again, we have footnotes to further help educate the lyrically-challenged Caucasian, but I’ve also added another feature—I’ve linked to the original song in each translation.

Jay-Z, Ludacris and 2pac are just a few of the rappers who are translated in this feature.

Enjoy…. (more…)

I’ve lived my entire life in New York.  As a proud New Yorker, I get ticked when I hear the numerous New Yorker stereotypes.  Here at Living with Balls, I’ve decided to put these stereotypes to rest.  For all you non-New Yorkers reading this, I’m going to teach you which New York stereotypes are true and which are false.

New York has the Worst Drivers
FALSE
New York has the BEST drivers.  You have to be a good driver to get around in New York City; otherwise you’ll get driven off the road.  Any schmuck can drive in a straight line down Route 80 with no traffic.  New York provides the most challenging driving situations in the country.  

Try maneuvering through the Long Island Expressway during rush hour when you are late for work.  Try navigating around bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Major Deegan when you are trying to get to Yankee Stadium by a 7:05 first pitch.  Try making a left-hand turn, while avoiding oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the cross walk, all while some impatient driver holds on his horn behind you.  It takes GREAT drivers to do this.

The only reason people think New Yorkers can’t drive is because there are so many of us.  The greater the number of people, the greater chance some idiot will be on the road.  We do have some idiots drivers but the percentage is no greater than any other state. (more…)

Rap Lyrics Translated for White People is back for its second edition!  This time I’ve gone even more in-depth to help the lyrically-challenged caucasians out there.  To even further help you earn some “street-cred” with the one black guy you know, I’ve added footnotes to educate you even more.

Gimme the Loot- Notorious B.I.G
I’m slamming n*ggaz like Shaquille, shit is real
When it’s time to eat a meal I rob and steal
cause Mom Duke ain’t giving me shit
so for the bread and butter I leave n*ggaz in the gutter
Huh, word to mother, I’m dangerous
Crazier than a bag of fucking Angel Dust
When I bust my gat motherfuckers take dirt naps
I’m all that and a dime sack, where the paper at?
