WTF Files: Ghetto Rhymes

A Baltimore mother and daughter joined forces to pen a book of nursery rhymes titled Ghetto Rhymes - A Collection of Traditional Nursery Rhymes with a Ghetto Twist. The book takes traditional nursery rhyme characters and forces them to deal with such inner-city issues as welfare, unemployment, food stamps and getting by day-to-day in the hood.

In Ghetto Rhymes, everybody's favorite incredible edible egg Humpty is harassed and arrested by the cops causing his untimely demise, Miss Muffit has 17 kids and a dead beat babydaddy and Mary takes her little lamb to the butcher. Hey, a nigga gotta eat one way or another.

Here is a video of the pair giving their explanation of the book.

The same people who religiously watch Tyler Perry's plays at every family function are going to love this but I think they are missing their target audience. Having several friends and family members who could be classified as ghetto I know that the last thing they are going to do is cut into their own time to read to their kids. My people, my people.
