It's Music B!+@%...
Everyone that knows me, knows that I love music.
I love everything about music. From the play of words, to the creativity of how a track is put together.
I must say, nothing excites me more than discovering new artists.
(i.e.) When Kid Cudi and Mike Posner's first mixtapes came out, I literally had a musical orgasm...
As of late, good music is hard to find.
Everyone thinks they can rap or sing, so real artists are a rare commodity these days.
Lately all it takes is the right image and a hot beat.
But that's a whole different topic that I'm not gonna get into right now...
I was having a mini convo with Wordaholic and she stated how Raheem DeVaughn sings a lot about women so he must be raised by and around them.
That statement made me instantly think of Dwele. Then I started to think of Neo-Soul as a whole.
Artists in that genre aren't afraid to express their love for the women in their lives thou songs, and to be honest, I can't recall hearing any of them singing about how a woman is a bitch, whore, or chicken head.
So it made me wonder...
Why is it, as a society we respond to songs like 'Is That Yo Bitch' (and make them hits) but ignore songs like 'A Few Reasons'?
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Hip-Hop. You might catch me rapping along with Cam'Ron (word for word) on any giving day.
And I have to admit, I have a very filthy mouth at times, and will be quick to call someone a bitch (don't judge me, I'm working on it).
But why is that cool?
It disgusts me to hear a man disrespect a woman. But yet I'm a walking contradiction...
I use those words, and I support the music.
I guess my real question is: As a society, how did we get to the point where bitch became a part of our daily vocabulary?
Well as I type this I realize, ain't shit there's nothing I can do until I improve myself...
