I've always assumed that hoods in the hood and the whiny white kids were
part of the record biz, ie. hoods in the hood = rappers, eg. Eminem, etc.,
and the whiny white kids = the boy/girl bands or solo artists like
Backstreet Boys, Five, Britany Spears, etc.
I totally agree with Joni on this one, particularly her next line/word in
the song which is "Boring!"

I felt the same way about TTT. It took me a long time to get into it. It
doesn't quite compare to TI, but after many listens, it's definitely grown
on me. I wouldn't say I love it more than TI, but it's definitely up there
in the top 10! But I still don't like Man From Mars, and love Lead Balloon!
