Most of these current gripes with Hip Hop on social media are phony outrage due to the fact that the same "so called" disregard to the culture went unchecked in the 90's. You mad about it in 2018 while ignoring it in the 90's?
Yeah right
Dont talk to me about Latino rappers using the N word in 2018 while ignoring Cypress Hill, Fat Joe and Pun all in the 90's. Dont talk about Young Thug and Tekashi feminising Hip Hop while ignoring Biz Markie, Spliff Star and Eminem wearing dresses in 90's videos. Dont talk to me about whites mimicking hip hop culture now as if we didnt see Beastie Boys propped up as the white Run Dmc in the 80's and Vanilla Ice propped up as an MC Hammer clone in the early 90's. None of this shyt is new so stop acting like its new.
There's a poster named
@Stacker Pentecost who made a video trying to lump Cardi B into this current urban social media topic of cultural appropriation. But thats a "trending topic." My question.....How you more focused on a "trending topic" of so called cultural appropriation while ignoring one of the biggest moral degrading moments among the community which is rap music making it cool to call Black women bytches all in the 90's?
So we just gonna skip over that huh? Thats not a "trending topic" so we aint focused on that huh?
The degradation of the Black Woman in Hip Hop is one of the biggest blows to the Black community I have ever seen in my life. In the 80's you called a Black Woman a bytch and that was a fight. Calling a Black woman a bytch was street shyt...If it wasnt street shyt it was "ghetto" which was looked down upon at the time. No person with class would use that amongst Black Women....Atleast thats how I remember it....But something happened in the 90's to were by the time the new millennium kicked it Black women were calling each other bytch like it was ok.
Where the fukk my bytches at? Where my bytches is at? We got the real live shyt - Busta Rhymes 1997.
1993 Queen Latifah asks"Who you calling a bytch?"
6 years later........1999. Eve makes an anthem called "My Bytches".......
That same year Missy drops a single refering to herself as a "B*tch"....a year later Trina called herself "The Baddest bytch." Now when Roxanne Shante called herself a bytch in her early 90's promo....that was a term more aimed at "bad girls"....Black women werent holding that word on their sleeve like that. BWP (bytches with problems) was underground were it belonged..not in mainstream. In the 80's Dr Huxtable and Gerore Jefferson represented middle class Black Americans. Cliff never called Clair a bytch and neither did George to Weezy. But Redd Foxx kept referring to Della Reese a bytch over and over again in the movieHarlem Nights because they were criminals involved in street shyt. Again...Calling a Black woman a bytch in the 80's was street/ghetto shyt.
But in todays day....If a concert is turned up or if the party is hype and whoever on the mic/on the record says "where my bytches is at" a bunch of Black women will scream at the top of their lungs.....they wont roll their eyes and say 'who u calling a bytch?" So what happened in the 90's? Why did Black Women allow Hip Hop to make it cool to call Black women bytches. And why did Black Woman allow it to just happen without a fight? Instead of fighting ya'll gave in and accepted it?
