I find myself not even being hip to a lot of things happening on the scene anymore, because it's just irrelevant. I recently lost a lot more respect for Lil Wayne after a friend of mine sent me a link to "Whip It Like A Slave," telling me that he heard his (white) step-brother singing along to it. So yeah, white folk are listening to a lot of Hip-Hop these days, but can I really blame them for the downfall? I don't think we can really blame it on white consumption of Black death, but rather the Americanization of Black art, and... Black people. Americans love Black death, the Western hemisphere is built on it. Niggas are exploiting other niggas, nobody seems to care about integrity anymore. I can't put my finger on this one either. Like Z.Kay, I see our own people supporting this utter nonsense, and it kind of leaves me hopeless. The only solution seems to be educating the masses to reject what's marketed to them and crafted to destroy them, but are we truly entitled to opinions anymore, or does it just make you a hater?H.rwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191810126336515514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-75425159023708280992009-07-05T19:40:50.781-04:002009-07-05T19:40:50.781-04:00@Z.kay

Thank you for your honesty.<br />Its a a bug out when women who care refuse to be honest about<br /><br />Its like, we be so thirsty for the music that we are willing to ignore hella janky shit because we love the beat.<br /><br />Something shifted in me when:<br />a. A young man said he wanted to put his dick in my butt (on the street last May).<br />b. When I say those Rihanna nude photos in May.<br /><br />It became clear to me that Hip hop was a world Built on Black Pussy. Or Pussy in general, if you will, and whether or NOT we wanted to admit it is a whole different issue.<br /><br />@Jason<br />Thank you for stopping by and commenting.<br />However, if we are going to engage, which I am willing to, check out these other posts as well:<br /><br />http://modelminority.blogspot.com/2009/04/asher-roth-and-why-rappers-need-nappy.html<br /><br />http://modelminority.blogspot.com/2009/04/asher-roth-x-don-imus-x-nappy-headed.html<br /><br />Just so that you can get a sense that the issue ISN'T about one video but about Rappers and Nappy Headed Ho's, Capitalism, the white consumption of Black death etc.<br /><br />If you want to continue to comment after reading these pieces, I look forward to it.<br />If not, its all G.<br /><br />~m.M.Dot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752779973426025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-8288095657425901652009-07-05T18:01:04.580-04:002009-07-05T18:01:04.580-04:00The only people who could possibly be personally o...The only people who could possibly be personally offended by this video: big-boobed light-skinned women. They're depicted as awful athletes with no shame. If we watch the video once instead of just taking a head count, we note the dark-skinned women win, having more to offer the world than being able to take lots of D.<br /><br />So the video's problems (it's silly, we've seen the same thing 1,000 times -- though this one at least doesn't take itself seriously, Drake is an awful actor) really have nothing to do with race.<br /><br />If it's supposed to be "Drake's personal fantasy" kind of thing... well, he's allowed to have preferences.Jasonhttp://engineindustries.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-52359207288807553222009-07-05T16:27:12.024-04:002009-07-05T16:27:12.024-04:00My thoughts on this issue have really been all ove...My thoughts on this issue have really been all over the place. There are so many factors that need discussing in this matter. This week's events are simply symptomatic of a larger problem. <br /><br />In the interest of full-disclosure ,I am a huge Wayne fan and I have totally fed into the Drake buzz. Having said that, the ills of both rappers & BET are not lost on me. It gets so difficult to defend this culture. I was pretty much done when I say those babies on stage during ' Every Girl'. I really don't know how to defend that. I can't. The problem with BET is that I'd hate to see it go. I have so many fond memories of Teen Summit & Video Soul...etc. I wish that they would take the time to develop quality programming. On the other hand, If we get that programming, will we watch? The reality of the situation is this is the type of programming that he current BET audience wants. Did BET cause this or are they just giving the people what they want? #FFF folks on MTV, VH1, We, an other channels act just as foolish. We are simply more aware of these events it b/c we are struggling with the identities of POC in the media. <br /><br />As far as Drake's video, I am such a Kanye stan that I've attempted to convince myself that the video was supposed to be satire. I still sort of believe it and I think it missed the mark. I cannot explain away the interlude where he tells the girls to "take the 'd'". It troubles me in my spirit that the biggest criticism is that there are no "real" black girls. <br /><br />What bothered me most is the HS setting. It sexualizes TEENAGE girls on a level that is disturbing. Especially considering that the "coach"is facilitating this level of exploitation & in light of the BET Awards performance.Z.Kay Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311322590185259105noreply@blogger.com
