It’s no secret that Bill Cosby has a big issue with Rap Music and the ‘people’ that make it. Well apparently he’s going to do something about it. He will officially enter the rap game next month with the release of his long-promised album "Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency.", as reported by EURWeb.
According to the Associated Press, the 70-year-old outspoken opponent of profanity-laced, misogynistic rap has put together an effort that blends his concepts and stories with a hip-hop, pop and jazz soundtrack.
His album is "the opposite of what I think is the profanity for no particular reason, the misogyny for no particular reason," he told the Associated Press. "It really looks at the frustration and the anger that a young man may have."
Assembled by Cosby's longtime musical collaborator Bill "Spaceman" Patterson, "Narratives" contains rhymes that are provided solely by guest rappers.
"I do not rap on any of these things. I wouldn't know how to fix my mouth to say some of the words," Cosby said.
It will be interesting to see what someone with all of the worldly ‘knowledge’ that Cosby has can actually produce.

OMG- Cosby is funny. Although I hate when people hate on rap I think it will at the least be interesting or hilarious.
