Kid 'n Play's Kid Finds New Hustle, Sells Suits on TV

Christopher "Kid" Reid of Kid 'n Play and awesome hi-top fade fame has a new improved hustle: hawking 2-for-1 suits on television. Yes, this is real. Also, yes, this is simultaneously the funniest and most pathetic thing in a minute.

"I'm here to tell you something," explains the self-proclaimed actor and stand-up comedian. "It's not always about that hip-hop house party stuff. Sometimes you gotta get clean. You're trying to take your lady out, take your mother out, one of your homeboys got shot...You got things to do, and you can't wear shorts and flip-flops."



Besides that homeboy line falling somewhere between a collar-tugging joke and just plain atrocious, the bit is simply so bad it's sort of amazing. Also, who is wearing shorts and flip-flops on a date? Come on, Kid, keep it reasonable at least.

"Come in looking like a bum, and leave looking like me," he offers and then points off camera. "Oh yeah, excuse me, I got women over there. Don't hate!"

Sorry, Mr. Reid. In one minute, you've given us at least a day's worth of material to hate on. Good work, though.

A lot of people are so consumed with sticking it to a former celebrity that they have neglected to understand the messages being sent by the brother.

Not only is he making an honest living, he is also telling all of us that no job is beneath any responsible man, no matter what stature we once attained. He is also telling us that one can fall down and gradually get back up. He is correct in reminding some of our folks that du rags, hoodies, sweat paints, boots in 90 degrees weather can be offensive to the sight sometimes (I accord that those who took offense at the language he used in conveying that message have a genuine gripe).

Folks, let's cut the brother a slack; go get yourself some of those suits before they run out of stock!

What's wrong with selling suits? Since when is making an honest living something someone should be ashamed of? I'll take a hard working man over some 15 second fad anyday.
