Word from over at the homie Fresh's spot is that Justin Timberlake's opening monologue for ESPN's Espy awards was edited 'cause of some "comfortably racial joke" he decided to share about Boston Celtic Paul Pierce's knee injury in Game 1 durin' the NBA Finals. Peep what he said here for the "shucking and jiving" comment.
This is what happens as soon as somebody gets comfortable. You know Paul was there in the audience and evern though no one laughed, how was he supposed to feel? I'm not understandin' the fake Rosta's in the picture NOR the black team puppets.
All the r&b and rap collabos with black artists have obviously put Justin in the frame of mind that he has a pass to joke like this. I'm not surprised.
I know ESPN had a rehearsal before the show even aired but it's wild how they wait until AFTER the show is taped, and the joke didn't get the REACTION he or they probably thought they'd get and all of a sudden, oh let's cut that part out. Please.
Shuckin' and jivin'. I can show you what shuckin' and jivin' really is. THIS is shuckin' and jivin'.... Paul Pierce comin' back ballin' on the court after an injury was NOT. Just goes to show this is what they think about us regardless of what we do. Do you honestly think this is gonna change all the urban collabos he's so sought after for?
$10 bucks says hell nah.
