[Making Easy Money, Pimpin' Hoes In Style]
Tonight I was told that's what 'Memphis' stands for. Never heard it in my life. But Phil, it seems, is up on the Orange Mound/Dirty South/rap subculture to a greater degree than I am and he was kind enough to impart this morsel to me. So what does 'Nashville' stand for?
Turns out that PitW beat me to the 'Menace' headline.
Andy Dick is a funny bastard. The new "Surreal Life" is buzzing in the background and every now and then I hear/see him say/do something funny. I love silly, crude, profane humor. I'm still thirteen, apparently.
Enough! It's bedtime.

I always heard it as:
Makin' Easy Money, Pimpin' Hoes Is Serious
It comes from the rapper Memphis Bleek, who is not from Memphis. He's from the South Bronx, if I remember correctly. He always said it was "Making Easy Money, Pimping Hoes In Style."
The Orange Mound crowd co-opted the phrase to describe the city itself, which was not Mr. Bleek's intention at all.
J.R. is damn cute. He looks slightly nebbish.
Ah. My adaptation is taken from Three 6 Mafia's track "M.E.M.P.H.I.S."

Right, well Three 6 is from Memphis.
As for being "cute," thank you. As for being "nebbish," unless it has changed its meaning from my junior year (it meant "timid and ineffectual" in 1998), I can say I am only nebbish some of the time.
I just like using that word. I meant to say Jewish.
