There’s a big push from mainstream media to highlight the fact that Hip-Hop music and rap videos are for the most part mysoginistic. Whoop dee fucking doo. For those of us that use our brains to think we understand that AMERICAN culture is mostly mysoginistic, and patriarchal, and homophobic. Blaming rap music as the source for these attitudes is totally disingenuous, but that doesn’t mean that rap music et al doesn’t play it’s own lane as a spoke in the wheel of supremacy.
When FOXY BROWN was arrested this weekend I took a minute to look at the popular Hip-Hop landscape to see what women exist within it as characters and the most prominent character that came to my mind was REMY MA. Do you realize that almost all the women that have come to rap music over the last ten years are essentially all the same person in two dimensions? The fact that background dancers in music videos are a more valuable commodity than female rappers is further proof that the lady emcee is dead. What career path do I have for a young lady with rhyme skills? There’s not even enough room to break into the celebrity filled line up of HU$TLE SIMMONS ‘Def Poetry Jam’.
I place a lot of the responsibility of teaching the youth on women and that has to stop since we are under attack as a community from multiple angles. When I say community I refer to all the people that want to live and raise their families free from the hyper-sexualization, hyper-consumerism, hyper-violence that the mainstream media machines perpetuate. The MSM does it from reality shows, to newspapers, to music CD’s. Even toy companies are conscripted to manufacture dildos for children. So how do we regular folks put a chink in the MSM’s armor? I’m planning a media blackout week for myself beginning after shabbas this weekend. No television, no radio, and even more importantly, no internets. It will be time for me to get back into reading books again.
Speaking of books… I told you about this joint last week for Valentine’s Day and the more I read inside of it the more I am in love with the poetry and the composition of the book. SUPA SISTA did her thing with this project and I beg y’all to give her a look. You won’t be disappointed. Also, she is raising a daughter and son in OUR community. That shit is hard work.
