Sweater-loving, Jello-eating, 80's sitcom dad Bill Cosby is releasing a 'feel good' hip hop CD in May.

Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency blends the comedian's concepts and stories with a hip-hop, pop and jazz soundtrack.

So what's Cosby's 'feel good' release going to address? "The value of an education. The value of respecting one's self and … giving (listeners) a chance to raise their self-esteem and confidence,” Cosby said.

Cosby's longtime musical collaborator Bill "Spaceman” Patterson commented, "He (Cosby) has always understood rap's potential, but he was appalled by the foul language and the misogyny — the way people used a medium that could be used to elevate people, to open their eyes and provoke thought.”

Guest rappers provided the 70-year old with the rhymes for the album.

We're glad Cosby is getting this out of his system. Now maybe he'll shut his piehole about how rap music is evil and shiz!

    Shut his piehole about the evil rap music? You suck. You just, sentences before, reported that he saw potential in the musical style but was appalled by it's typical content. He has spent his life trying to spread positive family and community values. Maybe you should support people who don't want to see this country become a sad version of Idiocracy.

    Perez, I knew you were fat and gay, but I didn't realize you were black, too.

    Stick to the facts, homo. No one wants your selective brown-nosing gay (and now black) opinion.

    Cyn ,I remember Pudding Pops and they were awesome!Why did they discontinue them! You know all we need to do is make regular pudding but when its setting spoon it into those popsicle makers and put the stick in and then freeze it. Yummy! I still think Cosby is such a sleeze. I mean of all people to turn out to be a pervert. I feel really ripped off because I liked Cosby. Oh well long lives the Pudding Pop and Ding Dong Cliff Huxtable is dead. Period.

    Re: MIKE – #50, you are writing for one person, yourself. And you're taking just the point of view we are trying to shake off. The seductive desire to be the victim who is owed something. Stop blaming others. Shake off the yoke. Stop being a victim. You do not speak for the majority of educated blacks, who hold their head above victim-hood, who are trying to carve out an equal place in society. Stop TALKING about devils, the rich, and the poor—and DO, not talk, not type, DO something about it. And that means start with what you have control over—yourself.

    Re: MIKE – #59, Never mind anything I have said. I now see I am definitely talking to another black the-white-man-is-holding-us-down robot conspiracy theorist. Black Robot Conspiracy Theorists are incapable of holding a sound, logical dialogue on anything. You just stay comfortably mired in your own mudhole, and I will leave you to it. Funny how some blacks just want to stay down.

    Bill Cosby, as a member of the black race, is like a stable mountain in the midst of a wild violent chaotic thrashing sea of violence, ignorance, xenophobia, genocide, and complacency. Perhaps he can pick up where the Rev. MLK, Jr left off and inspire achievement and dignity as the route by which african americans can continue to advance their standing in modern society. Perez, as a member of a persecuted and stereotyped minority yourself, surely you have realized that gays will ultimately win respect by achievement, dignified behaviors, and some small compromise toward conformity. (You win by learning to play the game better, not by refusing to play the game, whining, or thowing tantrums.)

    He is a f'ing filthy loser.
    He totally sexually harassed a young woman he was mentoring. She totally had proof and it was very hush hush, it was settled privately.

    Still, if you google it, it should come up.

    He grabbed her hand and tried to get her to rub his balls through his pants and more. He is a total hyproctie, he needs to look inwards and change himself first and learn to masterbate so he does not try to get another young women who looks up to him as a mentor to do it.

    A long time ago I saw him perform and some african american kid in the audience yelled out "Where are all the jigaboo's at"? I don't think Cosby heard it, but everyone around this kid laughed. I think that was the loudest laughter I heard all nght.

    Re: mike
    Mike, I think you're full of shit. You are the reason that Bill Cosby is on his soapbox night and day. You give ANY race a bad name. You can't spell, write a sentence or get a point across. All music is good if it talks to somebody. Tell me which songs (rap) have "substance". And if you feel that way, why would you have any problem with Bill Cosby doing rap that has "substance"?
    Also, if you have a problem with your neighborhood…MOVE! YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Stop slamming others who try to.

    Bill Cosby does NOT need to shut his piehole about anything. he is the only one who chooses to speak out against the black 'hip hop' cultures of our inner cities in america. as a citizen of detroit, i think everyone should listen to bill cosby, and many problems could be solve. stop playing the fucking victim,

    Re: COSBY WHO? – Jiggerboo is the preferred and traditional pronunciation and spelling of jigger boo and jiggaboo. The latter spelling has become prominent since the advent of nigga as a term for niqqer. Jiggerboo is used to describe an unknown Negro (meaning one you do not personally know) and who is not immediately known to be violent (as would be the case for a Negro on a police show). Once you have met them or know of violent tendencies, the term niqqer is preferred and more accurate. Also one should never end a sentence with a preposition. Like "at".
