Because it never gets old...

It's really sad that artists choose to use vulgar language in attempt to relate to/reach today's youth and that they choose to refer women as "hoes/bitches" and their friends as "niggas". In this video the artist chose to kids onto reading a book by putting the word "book" on cartoon character's booty shake and other things like that. I mean come on people, this is what our talents (or lack there of) have succumb to? And this isn't the first song or probably last song to use such vulgar language and degrading images. I read Rev. Jesse Jackson's statement about this song and have to totally agree with him. I think that if the artists will change some of the language used in their music then that women will learn to respect themselves and be respected more from others. However, I believe that it does start with the parents first and foremost. If parents would change what they allow their children to listen to and boycott this vulgar kind of music then the music industry will be forced to change their ways if they want to make money...u see how that works? Furthermore, I think that it starts with the young adults also. We are the mentors of today's youth, as silly as it seems and as much as some of them say they don't...they look up to us ALOT, so we must guide them also by not buying and boycotting this horrible use of talent.

"The best Hip-hop is clever, with allusions to politics, history, great music and literature. Part of the fun is finding the hidden meaning."

Let's start using our brains people...
