luv4u has no luv for me and locked my thread earlier and referred me to this one. Okay, here I go again trying to post my "Prince's future-baby-mama" beware!!!" thread in hopes to make luv4u happy.
For everyone who loves Prince no matter if he's right or wrong, doesn't have to go on reading. For the ones who don't mind me criticizing him, continue!

While I like the melody of FBM, I am thoroughly disgusted with the lyrics.
Does anybody remember the song "Let's have a baby" from the Emancipation album, where our man is trying very hard to convince Mayte, that she is the only woman on this planet, that would qualify as his future-baby-mama?
What was he thinking when he wrote his new song. Did he forget that he had a baby, as well as a baby-mama? Now all of a sudden all his former lovers weren't ggod enough to have his baby and fooled him 4 a minute. Like Mr. Innocent had nothing to do with the break-ups.
According to Mr. Goodnight his next baby-mama has to put up with his crap, in order to keep him.(gotta bend with the wind but don't break)
And if she's a good girl, he takes her to Paris, London, Africa, San Lucas, and Mexico.
I bet, that will make up for all his shortcomings (no pun intended!)
Then he goes on bragging how "all his future-baby-mama's girlfriends will hate her, cuz they can't have her man." Where does he get the nerve to call himself a man? How can somebody at the age of almost 50 come up with such immature and callous lyrics? It must be very hurtful for Mayte to hear this song.
Thank God, she's no longer with a self-centered, heartless prick(who claims that he believes in God and gives out bibles at his shows.)
For somebody who claims to know "the truth", he sure doesn't act like it.
How sad!

So because a word/phrase is "already popular English term" it can't be offensive? So any number of deroguatory words like b*tch, n*gg*, sp*c, etc shouldn't be considered offensive b/c they are already popular English terms? I already explained earlier on this thread the many reasons why I feel the term is offensive. The phrase is imbued with meanings that cannot be changed regardless of what Prince meant or may have meant by tacking "future" in front of it. In fact, I'm disappointed that he used the phrase at all b/c I'm sure he's smart enough to know the connotations affiliated with it and he still used it.

I agree that hip-hop/rap lyrics are worse, but where do you think the phrase 'baby mama' came from? While I'm not 100% certain, I'd guess it started in the hip-hop/rap world that you cite as example of more offensive terms. So that says what?
