Dear Jay Z

Dear Jay Z,

I was listening to your song, "Big Pimpin," from the MTV Unplugged series. In that song you say, "On a canopy, my stamina be, enough for Pamela Anderson Lee."

This masterful, albeit unintelligible, bit of rhyme gave me cause for much thought. I wondered how being on a canopy gave you more stamina. Would you have the same amount of stamina if you were on, say, a simple overhang? Also, how do you know that you have more stamina on a canopy? Have you ever been on a canopy?

Perhaps you meant a canopy in the rain forest sense of the word. Do you mean when you are in the upper level of the rain forest, in the canopy, you have more stamina? I must admit that these words, although well rhymed and clever, make no sense to me. Is it because I am not a regular consumer of rap? Do you think if I listened to more rap I would "get it?" I don't think so. Well anyway, keep up the good work, but please try to make more sense next time.

Thank You,
Rap Critic


P.S., If being on a canopy gives you more stamina, you might want to alert certain scientists. They might want to publish your findings in the New England Journal of Medicine.
