Nancy Grace Debates 2 Chainz

Nancy Grace has made a name for herself with her raw, aggressive attitude and cut-throat interviews, but last night she took things to a whole new level when she invited rapper 2 Chainz to come on her show to discuss the legalization of marijuana. And, as you might have expected, it was a gift from the heavens.

Let's start right at the beginning. She introduces 2 Chainz and also mentions his known aliases, including the nickname Tity Boi. Yes. The Nancy Grace said "Tity Boi." Then she asks 2 Chainz how he got his current moniker, which brings 2 Chainz to talk about his original nickname: Tity Boi. Recap: Nancy Grace and 2 Chainz said Tity Boi over and over again, and it was very fun.

The best part of the whole interview is how composed 2 Chainz comes off in comparison to Grace. Not only was he dressed to the nines and gracious to The Grace herself, 2 Chainz (formerly known as Tity Boi) also made some excellent arguments for legalization. "Everybody has the ability to get their hands on pot right now, whether it's legally or not," said 2 Chains, the artist formerly known as Tity Boi. "I just feel like if you legalize this particular drug it could cut out certain things in the criminal justice system as far as the overcrowding in prisons."

2 Chainz, formerly known as Tity Boi, also made an excellent point about how a pot offense prevents people from getting loans, homes and finding employment. I had never really thought of the implications for loan applications before, so that means I learned something valuable from a man who was formerly known as Tity Boi, and boi oh boi am I excited about it.

Nancy Grace comes off like some juvenile housewife who has been holed up in her subdivision. She's combative and won't let him finish his thoughts. And, worst of all, she's ignorant of the facts. She tells 2 Chainz (Tity Boi) that if people don't want the repercussions, they should just not smoke pot, but she completely fails to recognize that people of color are far more likely to get searched or prosecuted for drugs than whites. It's the giant elephant in the room that she just doesn't see. Every type of person is smoking pot, but they're not getting prosecuted equally.

Towards the end of the interview 2 Chainz actually gets Nancy Grace to agree on something, and it's like watching the Berlin wall crumble to the ground. 2 Chainz, a.k.a. Tity Boi, tells Nancy Grace about being pulled over in his tour bus by cops and being prosecuted for a very small amount of marijuana. Law enforcement ultimately threw out the charges and 2 Chainz suggested to Grace it was a complete waste of taxpayer funds. Grace slowly spews out "I'm not disagreeing with you" and it looks like it burned her throat a little as it came out. 

Nancy Grace got what she deserved. She clearly invited a brash rapper to be on her show as a whipping boy... turns out he did all the whipping.

Tity Boi: 1, Nancy Grace: 0.

Here's a second part of the argument, where 2 Chainz brings up the point that kills her argument, though it seems she can't comprehend what he's talking about.
