(ThyBlackMan.com) I know you guys heard about the Rick Ross lyric that basically stated that he slips drugs into women’s drinks and then has his way with them. I don’t feel like posting the link, so you guys will have to just google it. This really made me think about some things. I am always seeing women running to the dance floor when “they’re song comes on“. Many of these songs are telling “Bitches to Shake They’re asses“. Now it was cute to shake your booty when a degrading song comes on, but now when a rapper talks about date raping a chick, its a big deal right? Well why was it not a big deal when he was telling you to “bounce that ass“.
Ladies, take if from a pretty good man. Men love to see women shake, bounce, twist, wobble, and jiggle their ass, but after we are satisfied by that, we are going to call up the boys and talk about you like a dog. Not many of us respect that type of activity, we only like it, and talk about how much of a fool you were for degrading yourself like that. Long story short, we really don’t want to take you home to mama, just want to get to the hotel, motel, holiday inn, if you aint wit it, then we will take your friend. You FEEL ME!
Its just like the song and dance ” The Wobble“, sure its a fun dance that you and your girls can do together, but listen to the lyrics. They are telling you to shake your ass, and it’s all at the expense of a man. We just want to see you Wobble your butt, and it’s a sexual thing for a man, while you guys are just having fun. I am willing to bet you that there is some woman somewhere that loves the Rick Ross song. When I talk to women about this, the first thing they say is it’s just a song, or its just a dance.
No it is not, its you degrading yourself for men. Look at the way that girls dance at the urban clubs. They pretty much take their ass and grind it on a mans groin for the most part. Now, I know you ladies are just as kinky as the fellas, but at the same time men are getting a huge thrill out of this and you might get disrespected. More than likely the song that your are dancing to is telling you to shake it, drop it, or pop it.
Ladies you have to draw the line somewhere. If you want to be respected, carry yourself like a Lady. You might not mean any harm, but buying and supporting this type of music and thinking can lead to rape. Stop letting these dudes degrade you, you do not have to play a part in it. Some women will say that he is not talking about me, but I beg to differ.
If you are crazy enough to dance to it, then he is talking about you. Slow down and pay attention to what these idiots are saying, take it from a brother who cares, Love Yourself and Mean It!

Rap music is here to stay. Grown black women will continue dancing in rap videos. Whether it’s for recognition (that 15 minutes of fame), money to pay bills, and/or to take care of their children, these women see nothing degrading about shaking and bouncing in front of others.
With the economy so bad, some of these women may feel that there’s nothing wrong with bumpin’ and grindin’, even if it is a degrading profession. Many video girls, strippers, and the like have no education(barely high school and no college) so attending any kind of classes is most likely out of the question. Why apply for jobs that your not mentally prepared for when auditioning for rap videos doesn’t require a brain?
Let’s blame the symptom instead of addressing the problem. Stop pushing your kids off on others and start raising them.
this conversation took place 20 years ago with the late C. Delores Tucker, the still present rev Calvin Butts and countless others reading what the author is saying we here again, we never left 1993 to begin with when it comes to lyrical content and marketing of mainstream rap music to begin with, what has changed since 1993 is that it now is used as the face of black america like it or not, my motto is always u are not only a product of your environment but also you are a product of your conditiong as well.
The article speaks volumes of truth but the real story is that too many women, especailly black women, enjoy this type of self degrading behavior. That’s why its so popular and practiced in night clubs all the time. I wouldn’t hold my breathe expecting this common hobby to stop or play out soon.
