Yeah, It's That Easy
[Epic]
Rating: 3.0

The white man with more slurs than a KKK meeting is back for his third go-round. In the great tradition of Coast to Coast Motel, Yeah, It's That Easy is a continuation of the downward slide of his career.

The single, "I-76" is nothing more than a DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince leftover, right down to the comical scratching and "I'm the nice bad boy you wanna take home cause I'm Mr. GQ smooth" delivery. The scary thing is that G. still sounds blacker than Will Smith.

If G. got himself a sitcom, what would it be like? If it's anything like Yeah, It's That Easy, it's a three week sitcom on the WB. G, if you're reading this: somewhere out there, Nick Freno is laughing at you.
