this was in the london music paper the stool pigeon. ive taken only the quotes out (it was a short piece anyway) cos i dont have time to type the whole thing out but it makes a change to see someone saying something about this stuff in print.....
"I think theres something wrong with ludacris being surrounded by women on all fours in g strings having their asses slapped. People say im standing on my soap box but hey, im tired of seeing this bullshit. Little girls are growing up thinking its an achievement to be a video ho or a stripper."
"Another thing they say is im player hating. Some of my friends are social workers and they’ve worked with prostitutes who can unroll a condom and apply it with their tongue. That’s a skill, im impressed, but when did sex become this unloving act of submission and objectification? And when did it become all a woman has to offer?"
"There is such a lack of intellectual thought, on any level, being expressed in hip hop. In magazines, there are articles dedicated to birdman from the cash money crew talking about the time he had a threesome and the girl passed gas. Its so boring. And everyone panders to these stereotypes – thug, player, pimp, baddest bitch. Is that all we aspire to be? Rappers talking about how they got ice and respect on the street are niggas in the woodpile. The yes master, no master guys. They think theyre in positions of power but theyre not. Theyre the ones being pimped and they cant even see it."
