I've listen hiphop/rap all most of my life. And I have to say it has not always been like this (Naked Girls). I like to look at "eye candy" just as much as the next man, but the women are right. Rap is getting to be the same old thing.
First, we had the OG's of rap(Early rap game), Kurtis Blow, Cool Mo Dee, RunDMC, ...ect. They rap about the hiphop and break dancing curlture and the struggles to make it (Political/party music).
2nd, we had Gansta: NWA, BWA, GB's, Ice Cube, MOB, Biggie Smalls, Tupak (I still love this man), Dog Pound....ect. Talking about everything from killing to goin to jail to hustling to pimping to crying to spirituality of life. We all been a gansta one piont in time.
3rd, we got booty music, 2live crew, 69 boys and 95 south, DJ Magic MIke (Bass music), DJ Jimmie, Baton Rouge sound and drop it like it's hot, which was all cool. I like to party too. I'm from Texas so you know we got Boppers and Droppers, big thighs and big butts down here. We got six country females to each brother.
4th, Bling Bling (late 90's), bragging about how much they got after a record deal. That was cool for a short time. America was doing good so Black folks was doing pretty good when Pres. Clinton was in office. Black men were really doing well. We had money, enough to brag a little. (Should have been taking care of business then )
We got GWB, the "Village Idiot" going around the world making all the other countries hate America. We got a large influx of illegal aliens with fake I.D's under bidding everybody for low wages on jobs. Now the entire African American community is falling apart because very few industries will hire black men but they will hire black women and illegal immigrants. We struggle to get work because of discrimination and being over mothered or under mothered and then we have our women who don't respect us unless we got a pocket full of money. We got so called "heterosexual African Queens" hating on black men like they have an ever lasting source of men. There is 5 black women to each male. And hiphop still talking about blingbling, naked women, cars, and a bunch other foolishness! Brothers, have we lost our minds too! It's too much man, too much!
