   • 2000 July 26, Stephen Lemons, “'American Pimps'”, in Salon:

     “Let me tell you, when I stopped pimpin’, I was real negative about quitting,” Rosebudd says. “I thought I was giving up being a motherfucker. Now to a hustler, being a motherfucker is what you strive for. So when someone says ‘Rosebudd’s a motherfucker,’ that’s the highest compliment you can get because they’ve run out of adjectives. I was depressed until I realized that I was not stopping being a motherfucker, I was stopping pimpin’. I just had to become a motherfucker in another arena.”
     The other arena in which Rosebudd, aka John Dickson, is aiming for motherfuckerdom is writing.

     In a culture dependent upon oral traditions going back to the griots—tribal historians and genealogists—of Western Africa, the heroes of the toast were often the ultimate bad mammyjammers, the archetypes of motherfuckerdom.

   • 2011 December, Alex Pappademas, “Jay-Z King”, in GQ:

     Take Watch the Throne, on which two grandiose motherfuckers explore the theme of grandiose-motherfuckerdom from vastly different perspectives, stacking dubstep on top of opera on top of Otis Redding, triumphalism on top of sorrow on top of more triumphalism, striving for a sound as vast and strange as the world they've come to inhabit.
