You know I'm a person that loves all kinds of music as long as it is good and not garbage , but for the life of me I can't understand why people continue to watch these videos. I mean it's like looking at soft porn . As a nurse, I've seen so many body parts it's ridiculous so, I don't need to look at this crap on television. I'm sure that there are people who like these videos, but it just seems inappropriate and disrespectful to women and anybody who views them. What's your take on it? .

nurse said:

Hard Rock videos, same thing.

These female rap artists need to do some videos with neaked ass mens just gettin dissed and dancin and shit. That would be so tight....but no, they have the men as the dominant in their videos too

sirnozedevoidofunk said:

Not to diss rap music because I think that some of it is great, but these videos are crazy! Why do female rappers just go along with this shit? You would think that they wouldn't want to continue this stuff, but they just go with the flow .

nurse said:

The media also dont help with everything mainly male dominated, and dumb girls fighting over Flava Flav's ugly ass and stuff.

sirnozedevoidofunk said:

So true! I mean you have to be really mentally challenged to fight over Flava's ass anyday .

I think we need female nurse rappers, those videos would be hot..

nurse said:

That is just how low it gets.

I remember watching a cable access show last month with little girls doing the splits and humping the ass all over the floor...just like a 10 year old stripper or something, dancing to Check On It.

I Was like

WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT!!!????

Ok, but ya GOTTA give up for Nelly's "Tip Drill" ...I mean, if you're gonna go that route u may as well BLOW THAT SHIT OUT AND GET AS FREAKY AS U CAN WIT' IT!

StoneCrib said:

yeah

and then you have to get old school on them with pop that p**** from 2 Live Crew

sirnozedevoidofunk said:

That's a damn shame!

StoneCrib said:

Come on StoneCrib you know I like Nelly as much as anybody else, but this shit is just nasty. I heard that he even slid a credit card down some girls backside like it was cute and shit! It's not cute, it's disrespectful .

Meloh9 said:

I remember the 2 Live Crew's as Nasty as They Wanna Be CD and their way off the spectrum- they just nasty! Where is Luke anyway with his nasty old self?

Rappers catch heat for everything, they are selling sex all over the place not just Rap videos,. It is seen in toothpaste commercials, video games, everything. And remember when Prince was singing I want to fuck you so bad it hurts on 1999 with women dressed in lingerie and filming a video that depicted a Roman orgy? Before he found Jehovah.. Nobody tripped about it.


My only complaint is that they all look and sound the same these days. If you want to be sexy do something creative with it besides flashing ass and jewelry, like Common’s video for Go, but the nature of these video don’t really offend me, like I said sex is everywhere else.

Meloh9 said:

People always want to bring up Prince when they talk about music and sex, I respect your opinion, but I always tell people at least Prince told you what he wanted to do back in the day and it wasn't disrespectful, it was just straight forward and to the point! The things that are being done now are just gross-I mean I'd respect a person more for saying 'I sincerely wanna F--k the taste oughtta your mouth" than hey "let me slide this credit card down your ass. But your right about sex being sold everywhere-it's crazy and no rapper nurses aren't sexy.

nurse said:

At that point it becomes a matter of personal taste. The women decide for themselves what is disrespectful, what may be a turn off for you may be a turn on for others and vice versa. Some women are turned on by money and power.. So the credit card thing may get some women wet, you may like the eccentric musician that wants to fuck the taste out of your mouth, other women may think Prince is weird. It's subjective.

Meloh9 said:

That's true, but why does it have to be put out there in such a manner? There's an appropriate time and place for everything . ( Prince is not weird-Love you Prince ) .

nurse said:

Like I said what makes it apropiate on toothpaste and candy commercials? Corporations are selling these artist so they decide that the time and place to sell sex is always. Remember the Pepsi cans with the subliminal sex message?

ok now i'm horny I need to go buy some name brand household items and some rap music - brb

Well its just a natural progression i think with "youth" making videos. Back in the later 80's it was Hard Rock, u had all the groups doing videos with half naked girls (and naked sometimes), once Motley Crue did it then they all, and U everyone from Poison to Whitesnake to Winger to Warrant, and then it go so repetitve that people stop buying it and a change happend and they were all gone, and I feel thats what is happening now, this Phase will disappear to, and now the phase is Reggaeton, which is heading down the same Dead end, actually its already there, Daddy Yankee opened the door, everyone came in and down the drain it will go.

This perspective is so true-it is happening all over again .

sirnozedevoidofunk said:

Now you know that was ALL the parents fault right? I mean I'm sure those girls dancing like that and what they have seen in videos aren't linked in the slightest, right? I mean it's those 10 years olds individual choice, correct? Oh yeah, what you saw can all be summed up as bad parenting. So BET and MTV can play straight up porn 24 hours a day, and it will still ALL be the fault of parents, right?

"It's only Entertaiment" my foot!

sirnozedevoidofunk said:

actually back in 93 Nikki D. had a video to a song Freak out in which she had dudes in g-strings being hoed out...it was nice eyecandy.

boriquateddy said:

Dont forget salt and pepper, i got a couple of their videos where the men are "hoes" for a lack of a better word.

Meloh9 said:

Great idea! Then maybe when YOU have a daughter, you tell her to pass on the importance of this type of knowledge to us ALL, nationwide, the entire world over, and SHE can help to uphold this musical legacy which you hold so dear by way of clapping her ass cheeks and popping her p**** on music television

thesexofit said:

I'd be a "hoe" for Salt N Pepa anytime

Meloh9 said:

Well then I must stand corrected, as it was the uproar about Prince song Darling Nikki that served as impetus for Capitol Hill to slap parental advisory labels on records and cds so a person could avoid buying the recording if they deemed the subject matter conbtained within offensive.

The video about the Roman orgy I admit I am not familiar with, but the the 1999 song...what was it? "Let's Pretend We're Married" (?), was not a mainstream, internationally released vehichle flooding the music and televison airwaves. Back then, if a person wanted to listen to or view sexually explicit material they would do it in the privacy of their own home from their own private stash, without subjecting the rest of us to it who simply want to see music videos on tv that, well, actually play MUSIC.

Now, though I also admit, it's been a long time since I've seen a toothpaste commercial...I can't recall when I've seen one in the history of my 30 something years on this earth, shown in broad daytime television, with a naked girl clapping her greased-up ass cheeks together and somebody swiping a credit card through them. In fact, I've never even seen a beauty commercial, for say, cocoa butter lotion ,or shower soap, pregnancy breast cream where you actually SEE nude humans in their natural form (as is shown in advertsing in Europe), yet, when my big sister has to stop and breastfeed her hungry infant in a public place in Pick-a-City, USA the the pedestrians get irate...or offended on an airplane if her daughter has feeding time...if we don't have the most skewered viewpoints towards the human body and sexuality in the USA then I don't know what We celebrate oily credit card ass swiping on MTV but a young attentive mother can't get a break to publically nourish her child from the breast of her own body unless you throw her in a foxhole....

Ottensen said:

you made some good points. I just think rappers catch more heat. I also see rappers as pawns. My original response was defencive because of all the anti rap music threads. Rap video's, Violence in Rap, Rap is the downfall of black people, rap made me get a D.U.I. etc



"Back then, if a person wanted to listen to or view sexually explicit material they would do it in the privacy of their own home from their own private stash, without subjecting the rest of us to it who simply want to see music videos on tv that, well, actually play MUSIC. "


Last time I check people still decide in the privacy of their own home what they want to listen to. When P showed his naked ass on the MTV music awards was he subjecting the rest of us to something we didn't want to see? I could have done without seeing his ass personally. But I'm sure some women liked seeing his bare ass out. And if you go back and read my original post you will see that was part of my point, some people want to see this. Some people don't.
