The guy who wrote “Fucked pregnant bitch/ Save money on her abortion/ I feel like Billy Corgan/ In a church playing the organ” is now writing a children’s book inspired by both Dr. Seuss and his daughter. The guy is Danny Brown, renowned rap artist, and who are you to say this isn’t interesting or music news?
Of all places to discuss this, Brown told Kyran Wheatley on Australian radio that the book is being created to boost the confidence of black children, specifically young black girls. Brown went on to say, “I think I AM Dr. Seuss.” Don’t worry mom and dad, he’s not crazy. He simply means rapping and rhyming go hand in hand, and children’s books are super easy to make as a celebrity.
The most important question is… will Danny Brown’s children’s book be tame and earnest like Jay Leno’s mega-hit, If Roast Beef Could Fly, or will it actually be something impactful like Judy Blume? Maybe it’ll be somewhere in between. But one thing we can count on is that the main character’s name will be Molly.
