What will we ever do without HipHop, RNB and influential black culture?

Once upon a time there lived a boy named Azmi, this boy was well-known throughout the medieval, plague-stricken land for his famed double chin. "It had the power to tame even the wildest flames!!!", one extensively circulated legend exclaimed, among numerous others. "It has the power to tame my heart!", that, not mouthed by the impoverished, fable-weaving peasantry intent on glorifying this double-chinned young man but by the princess of yore, from the kingdom of all things nice,edible and gangsta, Princess Zainal "IN DA CLUB" Abidin.
Princess Zainal lived in a tower-prison, kept on a diet of baked Irish pheasants and assorted small mammals. The tower's spire touched the clouds, encircled by mutated-hellspawn vultures and no one was allowed near the tower except for the one guard, who happened to be a fire-breathing dragon, keeping with all the good spirit of conventional fairytales.
Azmi the valiant, double-chinned hero, of course leapt at the chance to rescue the delectable Princess Zainal who by now had honed his artistic, poetic talent through years of lonely song-writing in a drafty tower bedroom. The Princess sultrily warbled her self-penned siren song to her imminent escape from prison life. She had anticipated the arrival of the hero, Azmi and with magnificent talent-quest-grade intonations, belted out her latest lyrical wonder.. "You're gonna say OOHHHHHHHH... cos thats gonna be the sound thats when we going down...(1*)" The pyrokinetic dragon outside nodded agreeingly with the Princess's "illest rhymes", primarily due to him mistaking the song as a seduction attempt at his handsome self. "Stop right there Grrrrrllllfreennn! You talk to the hand cos the face don want to hear it!", the dragon shouted back because he didnt want to be too "easy", which in modern parlance would mean being a harlot, almost passing as acceptable to the giant mythic reptile cos he wanted to be a "HO" instead, even though both perform the same damned services. "All that and a bag of potato chips!!!" the dragon punctuated, all smug about his brilliant wit.
