Young minds not able to differentiate fantasy from reality or possitive from negative imagery shouldnt be listening.

Just cuz we quiet don't mean we invisible, that just means we inna cut. Hello!<BR/><BR/>However I do disagree about the fact that words in a song is just words.<BR/><BR/>Our music. Is very powerful to young minds that have not been taught to be analytical yet. It can be like smoking crack when you pregnant. Real talk.<BR/><BR/>The baby never had a chance.<BR/><BR/>Becuase if the words did not matter, then what are we, in fact, listening to?M.Dot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752779973426025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-1149469185886361462006-06-04T20:59:00.000-04:002006-06-04T20:59:00.000-04:00re: ladies followin' tha game...yeah, i feel u. we...re: ladies followin' tha game...<BR/>yeah, i feel u. we DO know when yall just wanna smash. I smirked knowing it wasnt goin' down like that and kept tha convo on Biggie's new video or the release date for Tical's new one. [of course I'm referencing back in da day.] <BR/><BR/>I know i was forced to seek out dudes, if i wanted to discuss rap. But having two brothers, only one who was older, led to me not having to look very far. His friends, neighborhood dudes and tha like were around. <BR/><BR/>Of course there is an etiquette to it, you can't just jump into tha discussion... plus u best know ya shyt! Cuz they always wanna test you on some "whose better" or "which album was hotter?" And ya answer determines whether you'll be taken seriously in tha future.<BR/><BR/>Point is: we here. Ladies been here. We aint goin nowhere. Eff what tha critics/anybody say. <BR/>We lurkin' on smokingsection, we supportin' on sohh.com, and we sure as hell aint offended by tha "biatches" and "hoe" bombs that get dropped. <BR/><BR/>Why? Cuz we know its merely words over a track. Over in 3:45, and not to be taken THAT seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-1148418184584394652006-05-23T17:03:00.000-04:002006-05-23T17:03:00.000-04:00Whoops.Ms. Ahmad.Hoegaarden Hoes stand up!Whoops.<BR/><BR/>Ms. Ahmad.<BR/><BR/>Hoegaarden Hoes stand up!M.Dot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752779973426025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-1148418062172931802006-05-23T17:01:00.000-04:002006-05-23T17:01:00.000-04:00Ms. Agmad is back yall.I was wondering where my si...Ms. Agmad is back yall.<BR/><BR/>I was wondering where my sister was.<BR/><BR/>Girl.
