Analysis: Breaking Down Skillz’ 09 Yearly Wrap Up Novelty Record!

Let’s just break down the topics… And tally up a score.

No reference to Nigerian underwear bomber / instead he’s busy rapping about cash for clunkers = -10 pts
DC inauguration = +5 pts
Ne-yo and Jim Jones got to scrapping (I don’t even remember this) = -5
TVs went digital (this is only an issue if you’re an old head like Skillz and you grew up with B&W TV) = -5
Jon & Kate/Octomom (I like pop-culture references) = +5
LeBron got dunked on (again, I am sure this has happened more than once, is it really song worthy?) = -5
Rihanna / Chris Brown / bowtie reference = +5
T-Pain loses his teeth = +5
Somebody Toya got a show? = -5
Run DMC got their own street (there had to have been more news worthy things to rap about this year) = -5
JoJo sparked that leaf? = -5
Got kicked out of Kansas (again, who knew?) = -5
Rick Ross’ LV shades were fake = +5
Drake’s knee. *NT* = +5
Mixtape is album of the year (good point) = +5
Em and Mariah beef = +5
Plugging twitter account (cause peeps gon think it’s @skillsva)= -10 pts
Bernie Madoff = +5
Amber Rose (while true, she became famous for doing nothing other than letting Kayne West finish on her cue ball head, I still don’t think she deserves the shout out) = -5
Black Eyed Peas vs Perez = +1
Lil Wayne effing every girl in the world = +5
Mike Vick & AI back in action = +5
Michael Jackson (as expected) = +5
You watch the Real House Wives of Atlanta? And rep it in a song? Wack = -10
Balloon Boy (nice line, here) = +5
Trey Songz (again, who cares?) = -5
Lady Gaga [butterface] ethering = +10
Kanye West / Taylor Swift = +5
Hangover love = +1
Oprah giving out chicken and not giving any to Jay-Z = +5
H1N1 (sorta a boring old topic now) = -5
Lil Mama (does she have a big head? I don’t think I have ever spent more than 5 seconds looking at her, even when she was on stage with Jigga) = -5
Nicki Minaj = -5
Nick Minaj signing your boob embarrassment = +10
Whitney Houston is back (who cares?) = -5
Jerking phenom? Who cares = -5
Come on, son Ed Lover reference (Ed is sorta old fogie for me) = -1
Nas and Kelis divorce = +5
Diddy holla if you want that ring back (wasn’t sure the reference here) = -5
Jamie Foxx blamed it on the alcohol (cause that was his hit song? the funnier Jamie Foxx reference would have been if he brought up the time that Jamie Foxx blasted Miley Cyrus on SiriusXM) = -5
J.LO falling on her ass at the AMAs (wash) = 0
Health care (has it really passed though?) = -5
Tiger Woods blasting/fail = +10
TI is home after 7 months (you can tell he just wrote the last part of the song) = +5
Monique yells too much (who even bothered to try watching that show in the first place, to conclude that she’s annoying? | Where are the Precious references?) = -5
RIP shout outs = +5

=======
TOTAL:

EVEN!?!!!!??! (Margin of error +/- 2)

=======

Someone who’s really good at math can you confirm this? I really just did this tally off the top of my head and if it really is even, that would be amazing!
