Not Invited: The guys behind those World's Dumbest Criminals TV shows.

This Week's Prompt: Lil Wayne (allegedly) mollywhopped someone with a skateboard. This, of course, is wonderfully humorous. So, the question: What is the most ridiculous rap-related crime that's ever occurred?

Note: This was sent out to 30 or so rappers. Of the responses, these are the four best, along with one from us just because it absolutely could not go unmentioned.

Not Invited: Manny Pacquiao

This Week's Prompt: On Bun B's most recent segment on TV show NewsFix, he had the audacity to imply that gays and lesbians are actual humans(!) who deserve actual human rights(!). Responses to his non-hatred of the idea of gay marriage have been mixed. We asked 30 rappers how they felt about it. One offered the "No comment" thing. Eighteen others ignored the question. These guys didn't:

D-Risha: I don't agree with it because of my Catholic belief, but who am I to tell a human being that they can't do what makes them happy? I'm kind of indifferent about it.

Not Invited: The man who cried when he saw that other man die.

This Week's Prompt: Scarface is beginning to let loose information about his new album. Question: What is Scarface's best album?

Preemo: Untouchable. That's my favorite. Beats by Mike Dean. Followed closely by The Fix.

Yung Truth: Untouchable was Scarface's best album. It debuted at No. 1 and peaked on the chart for two weeks, and it had the best features (Tupac, etc).

Renzo: Scarface's best album is The Fix because you can play it back and forth without skipping songs. It sounds great sonically and all the songs blend well together. He also never takes too sharp of a curve to where you're lost or you mistake him as [a] normal rapper. Features were amazing, beats were amazing, singles were on point. Intro is haunting. It's The Fix, pimpin'.

Not Invited: W. Balls

This Week's Prompt: Here's a question that came up that's suddenly all we can think about: What is the greatest skit on a rap album?

Kyle Hubbard: The "David Blaine" from Big Boi's album.

Rob Gullatte: The intro to [Snoop's] Doggystyle.

Chane: I would have to say every "Prayer" skit that DMX did on each of his albums. It really brought you into his world and through all his trials and tribulations. It showed us who he really was. Some were so passionate, deep and real that it almost could make you shed a tear.

This Week's Prompt: The NBA Playoffs started this past weekend, so we asked a bunch of rappers what the Finals match-up would be, who was going to win and how many games it was going to take.

Bun B: Spurs vs. Heat. Spurs* [win], but it's going the distance.

*If there is a God in heaven, this'll come to fruition.

Yung Truth: Thunder and Heat. Six games. Durantula [Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder] prevails. But honestly, I want to see the Clippers in that thing.

Not Invited: Tom Six, director of Human Centipede and Human Centipede 2.

This Week's Prompt: I watched Human Centipede 2 because I'm stupid. What's the scariest/most unsettling movie you've ever seen? Why?

Note: Watching HC2 was, without question, the most unsettling movie-related experience of my life. If you've not seen it, don't. Quick synopsis: This little, fat, mentally retarded man becomes obsessed with a movie about a doctor who sews three people together mouth to butthole. This man decides he wants to do so as well, except he wants to use 12 people.

The guy who plays him is unbelievably adept at being awful and creepy. He never says one word throughout the movie. He does, however, masturbate using sandpaper, so I guess that's an equitable exchange.

They show him knock a guy's teeth out with a hammer, beat a literal hole into his mother's head with a crowbar, cut a few people's ACLs with scissors, rape a woman with barbed wire wrapped around his penis (after she's just eaten diarrhea, FYI). And that all happens in, like, maybe a 20-minute sequence. FML.

This Week's Prompt: The NBA All-Star was last weekend. Were your life wagered on a game, and that game came down to the very last shot, which NBA player would you pick to take it? It has to be a current player and you have to take him as he is currently.

Zavey: Kobe... because he is Kobe.

Young Sensation: Kobe Bryant. Duh. The most clutch player in the game today.
