I aint never liked that song - or others like it! The vast majority of them are not only degrading to women but sexually biased. For example: that song mentioned by Zaxk, "Shawty Wat Dat Mowf Do", LL Cool Js "Head Sprung" (or whatever its called). Both those songs call for girls (women) to pleasure men with no reard for their own health or pleasure! Yeah, no, I cant get with that.<BR/><BR/>LLola Getshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058543308191117858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-80099309942173757792008-03-13T00:04:00.000-05:002008-03-13T00:04:00.000-05:00You think that's something?

The premise of the song is to skip regular intercourse and get girls to defile their mouths. Disgusting.<BR/><BR/>Thank God the song hasn't been picked up by radio stations yet.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you on everything written.<BR/><BR/>(Found you through the comments section of Field Negro)ZACKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868391244595404406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-91201196957199547062008-03-12T19:53:00.000-05:002008-03-12T19:53:00.000-05:00And R.

(think: you remind me of my jeep) ...<BR/><BR/>If he had swung the R&B sound toward the "I Believe" sound, who knows what we would be doing. Same goes with Jordan and saying something political.<BR/><BR/>You know what, let's just blame Chicago as a whole.vicdamonejrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018519911874108040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-89193002470482139992008-03-12T19:50:00.000-05:002008-03-12T19:50:00.000-05:00RBL,Good post.

You fo...Okay - sometimes the radio is a necessity. You forget to pack "Hippity Hop," Sweet Honey In The Rock "Experience 101," "Brown Girl In The Ring," "The Bat Chorus," The Symphonies Of Le Chevalier De Saint Georges and Suzuki Method Violin I. <BR/><BR/>Somedays, you forget because you just don't want to hear yourself rapping about photosynthesis, humming twinkle variation or chanting "the future belongs to me." You can't believe your life has been reduced to singing about worm poop and and mammals. <BR/><BR/>But, then you find how judgmental or creative you are. My son can hear two beats of "Like this," and shout "Turn it Mama, turn it! It's the rude song. We don't like rude people. <BR/><BR/>Somedays, you just explain the lyrics (or a value laden variant.) And the child re-writes the song themselves. Like in this moment:<BR/>http://christinaspringer.blogspot.com/2007/08/winston-rewrites-rap.html<BR/><BR/>Regardless - there is no artistry today. And as parents you have to decide whether you're ready to deal with it. Because - one day - you will find your child on the floor playing with his action figures chanting, "like this, like this, like this, like this."Christina Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344959813985960573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-60434094182200705842008-03-12T11:48:00.000-05:002008-03-12T11:48:00.000-05:00Funny!

Fun, innit?<BR/><BR/>Well ~ I put a ban on most "modern" music from the time that my babies started speaking and it has only recently lifted (they're 13 and 11 now) but they know very well that there is a strict code of not repeating what they hear. I really try and stress old school music, with running commentary as to what provokes us to THINK and FEEL and what just plain provokes us.<BR/><BR/>Now we're at the point that they know to not play anything that makes Momma cranky but if I can dance to it then they've got a shot. Good luck to you because Oh.My.God. you have not had a WTF moment until you're at the roller rink and they blast Lil Jon and you fall down trying to get your hands over your daughter's ears. Good times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
