oh damn hip-hop misogyny
so the discussion continues - and catchdubs joins the fray
but as the discussion grows, continues, permeates, i'm realizing that hip-hop just like everything else is often conflicted and full of contradictions
for instance, peep lil jon's lyrics from his latest collab slow jam with usher and luda, "lovers and friends" - not so misogynystic eh?
i'm inclined to say i like the song - kinda' takes me back - i'd love to hear the instrumentals only on this joint - it's like listening to the force mds of "Tears" and "Tender Love" fame
I's been know you fo' a long time (shawty),
But fuckin' never crossed my mind (shawty),
But tonight, I seen sumthin' in ya (shawty),
That made me wanna get wit 'cha (shawty),
But you ain't been nuttin' but a friend to me (shawty),
And a nigga never ever dreamed to be (shawty),
Up in here, kissin', huggin', squeezin', touchin' (shawty),
Up in the bathtub, rub-a-dubbin' (shawty),
Are you sure you wanna go this route? (shawty),
Let a nigga know before I pull it out (shawty),
I would never ever cross the line (shawty),
Shawty, let me hit ya to me one mo' time...one mo' time...

Another great and informative post.
I'm trying to love crunk music but I can't listen to it for long periods of time without going crazy.
For me, Lil Jon's CD Crunk Juice is totally unlistenable when it comes to playing his joints in my iPod. In the club, however, it's the greatest music in the world. There's no other music out there right now that gets women so bucket-nekkid and loose in the club.
Yep, I'm that nigga in the club holding the wall up going "yeeeeeuuuhh!"
And is it me or is Lil Jon filthy with the lyrics? I mean he gets down-right nasty with it.
Here's my guilty pleasure, Lynne:
"Step Yo Game Up" (featuring Lil Jon and Trina)
It's on Snoop Dogg's R&G: Masterpiece CD.
Man, I love this joint.
Peep Lil' Jon lyrics:
Bring it down bitch/ Let me see you back it up/
Drop that ass down low and pick that motherfucker up.
(repeat three times)
Back that pussy, she's a motherfucker . . .
(repeat four times)
Rub that shit it's your bitch
Grab his dick it's your bitch
(repeat three times)
Turn around bitch, put that ass on a nigga
Grind on his dick make it get a little bigga
(repeat two times)
Ah, pure poetry.
Oh and Trina gets in the fray with her crude lyrics. Here's one line:
"Same nigga talkin all that shit/ He's just a little bitch, little balls, little dick."
But I'll be damn -- this song is my joint, right now. I love this club banger!
(Bowing my head in shame)
Great post. Let keep the convo flowing!
Church! Preach! Tabernacle!
