Oh hai Ashley...I see you've got a book there. What's that? It's YOUR memoirs...awesome. You must have lived one hell of a life there lady. Drugs? No wai! Dysfunctional family? Shit aren't all families dysfunctional? I'm sure you didn't spend your whole memoir talking about how shitty you think your family was in all their stoned dysfunction right? You had to fill out the rest of the pages somehow right? How did you do it?
As far as I’m concerned, most rap and hip-hop music – with its rape culture and insanely abusive lyrics and depictions of girls and women as ‘ho’s’ – is the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny.
I'm going to attempt to be civil. But because of all the rap & hip hop music that's passed my ears I don't think that will be possible. I'm having a hard time not typing out "make me a sammich hoe." Because you know what Ashley rape & misogyny till Doggystyle was released in my formative years. Diddy...well...he invented the remix....AND RAPE! (take that take that take that.) I will only love a woman for her vagina, credit score & how well she keeps my books up when I eventually go to prison.
If you didn't realize I was being a sarcastic asshole above, you're reading the wrong blog. Maybe Tyrese's new flip book is more your speed.
I can't pretend as if there aren't misogynistic lyrics in rap. Saying it encourages rape culture is going quite far into shock quotes. I can be pretty sure Ms. Judd has no clue of the artists out there making music that is not disrespecting women. Either that or she's using the oldest trick in the book. It's not as if no other genre of music or group of musicians has ever made "smack a bitch" music.
Stones did it
Beatles did it too.
Quoted from The Beatles "Run For Your Life"
Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Oh it's so wholesome! "If you leave me, I'll kill you!" Makes "we don't love dem hoes" look like a handshake. I'm not saying one justifies the other, but don't put hip-hop on the altar to sell your book.
