This is the single most brilliant Black spoof on Jews/Singing about forming a coalition…..we have ever heard. I mean when the lyrics to a song has lines like, “from the chitlin district to the diamond District….leather hats and Yarmulkas side by side” – you know you can’t go wrong. Actually it reminds me of when Y-Love went ot a Jews of Color Shabbaton and asked the crowd, “Do you know how to say chitlin’s in Yiddish?” They of course replied, “no?!?” and he says, “chitlach”.
