What is Wrong With… “N*ppy He*ded H*es”?
This is a rap yo… Don Imus was wrong… Dem Rutgah's ladies ain't N*ppy He*ded H*es! They ain;t h*es from different area codes They ain't h*es with crappy threaded clothes CHORUS: Get 'em Sharpton, Get 'em Jesse Make this Imus sh*t good 'n messy Blame dem corporate h*es in their fancy clothes Not all dem h*es makin rythms flow Don't blame those who go into da sto's Blame dat Billy O', and dat Kramer Foe (CHORUS) Dem corporate crows is makin' all da dough Keepin Snoop an' other bro's really F'in PO! Dem white CEO's gotta F'in GO! (CHORUS) Imus aint da h*e, he aint "getting low" NO! He aint spittin rhymes like Edgar Allen Poe Not tryin to maintain no stinky status Quo Seeds of racial ish he be tryin ta sew Neva spent a day in da Ghetoo Woa! (CHORUS) Yo! Seriously though, come on. Come on Russell Simmons, in Time Magazine you were quoted as saying that "It is the norm for American culture. Hip-hop is so honest. We have to adhere to the truth, even if it makes us uncomfortable. The artists have to express what's in their heart. They don't always feel like being happy and dancing." In response to the question "How has ostentatious consumption and misogyny become the norm for the hip-hop movement". Seriously Russell, how can you say that the hip-hop portrayal of women represents the American culture's hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women? As far as I know, it is not the norm of American culture to hate women. Your comments in this week's issue of Time puzzle me, although they shouldn't. The only norm here is that another person is allaying responsibility for something to someone else.
What we need is a comprehensive approach, not the approach of Al Sharpton, who recently hosted a rally outside of a Record producing company, claiming that it is the white corporate types that make hip-hop use self-defeating words. Such a lame argument for so many reasons.
