CAN YOU DISTINGUISH HIP-HOP BRAGADOCCIO FROM SINGLES-SITE DESPERATION?
---
Mickey Hess

Which of these lines come from Mike D’s introductions of himself in lyrics, and which from personal ads from Match.com?

I'm Mike D...

1) I got all the fly juice
2) I'm doing extremely well financially
3) A known fly coolie
4) I own my own 3 bedroom house
5) I am new at this kind of thing
6) My friends tell me I have a very dry humor
7) I got the deuces wild
8) And I'm known for romance
9) I'm a mal-adjusted guy
10) And I'm bustin' out trap kits
11) And I'm back from the dead
12) I have decided to major in Criminal Justice
13) The person I end up with will most likely be someone with opinions
14) And it's been proven
15) And I get respect
16) Everyone always tells me they can't believe I'm not dating anyone
17) It really shouldn't be this hard to find the right person
18) Somebody help me
