(or any variation thereof). I've always found it offputting. Just as much as I've found it off-putting when a guy trying to "talk" to me would call me "ma".... I'm not your mom.... and I do not need a daddy. It's not cute... it actually is disturbing. How can someone, while in the throes of passion, call that man "daddy." I have a daddy, and I do NOT wish to EVER think about him while I'm getting down... period. No way. No how. Not EVER. And the distorted desire to associate the two... is distressing, at best. <br /><br />The.End.<br /><br />(I know I'm late but I just saw this blog and thought I'd comment)The Pied Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956614238156431469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-57824247726271392082009-08-17T16:17:05.359-05:002009-08-17T16:17:05.359-05:00^Okay, but there is still something very disturbin...^Okay, but there is still something very disturbing about the song Big Man is writing about. That song just gives me chills, (not in a good way) and I think it's because there are so many young black women who grow up without the benefit of having a father. They do, in fact, need a daddy and not one that wants to impregnate them and create another fatherless child Just sayin...<br /><br />As for all of the other songs mentioned - good point, doesn't make it less creepy though.KSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594832284191260116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-63913703090030330192009-08-13T19:19:27.547-05:002009-08-13T19:19:27.547-05:00I don't necessarily think it's anything ne...I don't necessarily think it's anything new. There are plenty of songs by Bessie Smith, Dinah Washington or Lady Day talking about "daddies" or "poppas" and what they need from them. There are just as many songs by male blues or jazz artists talking about their "mamas" or "babies". The Andrews Sisters had a hit with a song titled "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the bar". Everyone knows the double meanings of the word "papi". <br /><br />People have always used familial language to indicate or emphasize non-familial romantic/sexual relationships.Shady_Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996625985002373392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-25248382554918780112009-08-07T20:37:11.662-05:002009-08-07T20:37:11.662-05:00Big Man, I'm not into the hip hop culture, but...Big Man, I'm not into the hip hop culture, but I hear you about the objectionable lyrics. Now, I don't believe the primary motivation with the lyrics is to be crass, I believe the primary motivation is to get paid. I'm sure you're familiar with the term studio gangsta, that’s just someone trying to get paid pretending to be a bad ass. <br /><br />Here is the money angle. I've seen research showing that young white folks buy more rap music than any other group. They have the disposable income, and can keep the industry going. <br /><br />The performers have to follow the dictates of that record label, if not the label will recruit someone else (with the enticement of money) to spit out salacious lyrics. For the most part, the performers do not control the production, marketing and distribution of the product. The performer is merely a substitutable part with limited control of the entire process. The label company controls distribution and count the money. I think you want to follow the money to see who is encouraging those multi $$billion lyrics.Imhotephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135775572019402064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-30610078235004764932009-08-07T14:02:30.304-05:002009-08-07T14:02:30.304-05:00The current state of black music is a reflection o...The current state of black music is a reflection of the lack of development of so many young black people.(Big Man)<br /><br />Not so sure its just a black issue, afterall look at eminem. I just think culture has taken a turn. I think the eagles summed it up best in there song "Get over it."<br /><br />"I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass, get over it, get over it" ;)Tit for Tathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454132514796693591noreply@blogger.com
