A hip-hop "artist" could say the word "shawty" every 5 to 10 seconds while playing any Led Zeppelin or Beatles song and most people under the age of 30 would think it's a brand new song and it's brilliant.

I can see it now... "Shawty be Buying the Stairway to Heaven" becomes most popular song of all time.
