This week in music we learned that Eminem is the self-proclaimed Rap God (and most people aren’t disputing that). The bleached blond Eminem may now have his female rapping counterpart in the equally blonde 67-year-old Dolly Parton.
Yeah, you read that right. Country star Dolly Parton made her rapping debut during an episode of “The Queen Latifah Show.” The Queen of Dollywood wears an afro, is blinged out, raps and pokes fun at Miley Cyrus all in the same 90-second clip. The episode won’t air until Monday, so watch the entire “Dolly Parton Raps” video now:
Any thoughts on Dolly Parton’s Rap video? Post them below.
You probably don’t need any of the lyrics to follow along to this rap song, but some lines are worth repeating. “Now I don’t hip and I don’t hop, I’d black both eyes with this big top,” Parton sang to the audience. “I know the Queen has got them too, but she don’t work them like I do. Look at them go!”
It would be impossible for Parton to outdo rapping about her and Queen Latifah’s breasts, but her line about Miley Cyrus, her goddaughter, came close. After referencing twerking (which Dolly didn’t do, unfortunately), she said, “Hey, Miley–I’ve got your ‘Wrecking Balls’ right here” and cupped her nether regions.

Even though those of us who grew up going to Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede show and Dollywood as kids may need therapy now, people on Twitter are loving Parton’s hilarious breakthrough rap performance. (Just kidding about the therapy bit.)
