i very much agree......but to add to your post....
Imus likes to think of himself as a BRUTHA - sometimes...
and he's like ever too cool
when he's sh#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and jivin with Snoop dog or who ever...
because of his past experiences with Cocaine which he never lets us forget
it might explain his inclination to try and talk like a Rap artist... does on their albums....
