INFORMATION ABOUT LOUISE MENSCH

"In the journalistic race to get to the bottom of one of the most closely guarded secrets in Washington – the investigation into the Trump team’s contacts with Moscow – one of the biggest scoops came from an unexpected source: the British former MP and novelist Louise Mensch.

Mensch has lived in New York since resigning as the Conservative MP for Corby in 2012 so that she could spend more time with her children and her American husband, Peter, the manager of the heavy metal band Metallica.

Now 45, the woman born Louise Bagshawe in London who once dominated the chick-lit bestseller lists in the UK has reinvented herself once more: working as an executive for Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp by day, and probing Donald Trump’s Moscow connections by night."...

Hip Hop Quote: "Here we go, yo, here we go, yo etc."
From https://genius.com/A-tribe-called-quest-scenario-lyrics
"Scenario
A Tribe Called Quest
Featuring Leaders of the New School
Produced By A Tribe Called Quest
Album The Low End Theory

[Produced by A Tribe Called Quest]

[Hook]
Here we go, yo, here we go, yo
So what, so what, so what's the scenario
Here we go, yo, here we go, yo
So what, so what, so what's the scenario

[Verse 1: Phife Dawg]
Heyo, Bo knows this, (What?) and Bo knows that (What?)
But Bo don't know jack, 'cause Bo can't rap
Well what do you know, the Di-Dawg, is first up to bat
No batteries included, and no strings attached
No holds barred, no time for move fakin'
Gots to get the loot so I can bring home the bacon
Brothers front, they say the Tribe can't flow
But we've been known to do the impossible like Broadway Joe, so
Sleep if you want, NyQuil will help you get your Z's, troop
But here's the real scoop
I'm all that and then some, short, dark, and handsome
Bust a nut inside your eye to show you where I come from
I'm vexed, fuming, I've had it up to here
My days of paying dues are over, acknowledge me as in there (Yeah!)
Head for the border, go get a taco
Watch me wreck it from the jump street, meaning from the get-go
Sit back relax and let yourself go
Don't sweat what you heard, but act like you know

Hip Hop Quote: "You mad bro?
Explanation:
From http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=u%20mad
"This phrase was coined by Cam'Ron on the Bill O'Rielly show. The Harlem-bred rapper used it, when Bill began to get upset to further piss him off.
'Please, let me finish Cam'Ron. Let me finish!'

'Aha Aha! U Mad! U Mad!'

by Johnny Twoguns August 13, 2004"

"umad
Online gaming shorthand for "are you mad?" Used as a taunt after pwning an enemy or messing with someone.
Red player: "I can't believe you just killed me with one hit! Are you cheating?"

Blue player: "umad?"

#so what #are you mad #what are you gonna do about it #your mom #bite me
by Holy Simon!!! May 22, 2010"

From http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/u-mad
" “U MAD?”, sometimes written as “you mad?” or “u mad bro?”, is a catchphrase that is often used in discussion threads to imply that someone is losing their temper during the course of an argument, sometimes taunting or baiting other posters into a flamewar. Due to the agitating nature of the phrase, it is often considered a form of trolling.

[...]

Origin
The phrase “You mad, ‘cause [I’m better than you]” is a dissing technique found in the context of hip hop music, with its roots in freestyle battling. The phrase can be often heard on “diss tracks”[1] or songs primarily intended to disparage or insult others …. The first image macro using the phrase featured the Harlem-based rapper Cam’Ron pointing off camera with the overlaid text “YOU MAD.” The still image came from a segment on the Bill O’Reilly Show … where Cam’Ron appeared with producer Damon Dash to debate whether or not rap was harmful to children in November 2003...

DAMON DASH: How do you hurt children by promoting to be an entrepreneur and a CEO and to do right…
(CROSSTALK)
O’REILLY: Hold it! Hold it! You’re looking at a principal…
CAM’RON: Why don’t you want to let him talk? You mad. You mad.
O’REILLY: You won’t let me finish.
CAM’RON: Where did you start, A Current Affair, right?
O’REILLY: No, wrong.
CAM’RON: I’m going to get at you in a minute.
O’REILLY: You go ahead. You get at me.
CAM’RON: I’m going to get at you in a minute.

Spread
The first Urban Dictionary definition for the phrase “U Mad” was submitted by user Johnny Twoguns[4] on August 13th, 2004, attributing the coinage to Cam’Ron. The same year, U-Mad.net[10] was established as a personal homepage for an independent rap group”...
