Nasty songs!
 

What's up with these radio stations playing all of this nasty music, to name a few:

*Feelin' on yo' booty

*I don't know the title of this song, nor the artist(s), all I hear in the song is "Let me see it, let me see it, bend over let me see it" See what? I can only imagine. :eek:

*I don't want a minute man

WTF?????????????

Change the station. Surely there must be other stations that don't play the music you described.

The Fall of my senior year in high school way back in '98 I recall me and my buddy being at a social event, a basket ball game, and as the crowd dispersed past his car (we were waiting on someone) we were pretty rude, playing Akineyle pretty loud, of course it was the ever-wonderful song entitled "put it in your mouth" and all these old people were walking by dancing along to it, you know to be cool and hip, and a friends mother walked up to my buddy and started dancing to this song, trying to get him to as well, and I assume you've all heard it and that I don't need to repeat any lyrics for you. It truly was a memory not to be forgotten as a 45-yr-old woman is dancing to "put it in your mouth" A classic moment.

awwwwwww.. "what remix is this?" "feeling on yo' booty!" blah blah blah blah..what a sutpid nonsense bs concept of a song...even worse..it still sells...sad sad sad.....

Re: Nasty songs!
 

AND WHAT it does sell! Some people like those songs, you don't have to listen to them, if you don't like them , change the station , turn off the radio, turn off the video.
Some of ya'll complain about some silly stuff:eek:
For all those who Don't know The Song feeling on ya booty is by Rkelly and one minute man is Missy E.

DGPhoney~

yay!
 

-claps for her-

you tell um!!

i like missy E. I like R Kelly too, especially the "cameo" he does in that one video, contageous. -spells it wrong-

Doods, if you don't like a particular kind of music, shut it off!!!!

Play christian radio, they have good songs and there's nothing nasty there.

My son used our car and left his CD in. I don't know WHAT the heck he's listening to (I never denied him his choice once he hit 16) but it was so raunchy... Good beat-but "I want to ------you from your head to your toes". The "F" word right and left...I asked him what he LIKES about the music and he really didn't have anything to say. Music is so personal, but when you beat messages that demean women or promote violence, I find it difficult to see the "redeaming value". No blanket statement, but I do think a lot of it has gone too far, as have the radio stations that play it. (But then, I didn't let my kids watch the Simpsons until middle school)

Music is so POWERFUL, it can shape social attitudes and individual perception. I'm wondering what the next phase in the cycle will be. Will we see artists bending towards messages of peace, antiwar or philisophical issues like in the '60's? I may be wrong, but I bet in the very near future we will see more artists return to "poetic" lyrics with much more substance behind their message. Question is-will the money follow.

No, I don't remember that song, seriously!

Oh no, it's not that I don't like the music. Matter of fact I am planning to buy Missy's CD. But, I think it is inappropiate to play such provacative music on public radio.

Thats the point , it's public radio! change it if you really don't like it. radio stations do have censors but it's just for language and as long a sit's bleeped out or the edited version, who cares!

AND WHAT...i know it sells....I said that in my previous post...it's just funny how some of the dumbest songs (in my opinion) sell. They don't have to be "nasty songs." Some songs just make no sense to me.....kind of like the "cash money millionaires" LOL..if you listen to them...all of the beats are similar....they say the same things, or very similar things in every song...uh ah..i'm rich uh..uh ah I drive a humma ah..uh ah I Fu#$ed yo baby's momma! LOL

AND WHAT! HAHAHAHAHA BLAHHALAHAHALAHALHALHAHALAHLAHALHALHALHALAKHLAH


w3rd to yo baby's momma..but I don't drive a humma, I ain't no billionaire stunna...uh ah....uh ahh.....and then some...

I have to agree, those songs are pretty nasty and I don't really care for them...

But it takes less work to change the radio station than it does to complain about it on a message board.

true true...

New Orleans is the home of many famous "ass rappers", i.e. Mystikal, Cain and Abel and Juvenile...In fact, Juvenile lives in the same town as me. Got arrested for chasing a "dancer" that he picked up in the French Quarter down his street, ice pick in hand, after she flooded his bathroom. Anyway...

At first I was shocked by the lyrics to "Back that azz up" After a while, it didn't phase me, and then "Shake your ass" by Mystikal came out. That shocked me for a bit and then I got over it. Soon to follow was "Shake it like a Dog" and that one's still pretty offensive...

Its kinda upsetting how our culture is just desnsitized to messages that are so incredibly demeaning to women. Sometimes just changing the station isn't what's best. Sometimes things get so out of hand that people should start talking about them and decide if its something they want as a part of society.

Just a thought...

EXCELLENT POINT!

Oh my gosh GET OVER IT, really people. I think it's funny you all mock what you "don't understand" or what s not already broken down for you. Yea like I said twice now, it sells, cause people like it, I like it matter of fact. It's only that demeaning if you take it personal.
Lastly, if it's selling they are making money , more then some of you will ever make, so obviously they are doing something right:rolleyes:
DGPhoney

wow..that sounded like a generalization to me...mock what "we" don't understand? First, who are the "we" in this? Second...do all of the "we" not understand? What is to understand, yes it sells, yes they are making big money...more than most of us will ever make, INCLUDING YOU. OH MY GOSH...what an idea hey?
Seriously though, people do like it, hell I like most of it, I post for the pure fun of it, I take nothing on the internet seriously, it's just not my style. BUT, from your posts in the defense on this topic, sounds like someone is taking it a bit personal?

Not to point any arrows though ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


LOL....
sit back, have a beer or ten...listen to some missy e. like I am now..and chill, it's all in love, not war....or something like that.


d

hmm. -always starts her post like this for some reason- heh. I just realized that.
 

Okay, I have to agree with Diana on this one.

I like the music. I like the beat and it's a lot of fun to dance to and get wild. I think it only demoralizes women if you LET it demoralize you. Just because the radio tells me to shake my ass doesn't mean I'm any less a powerful, educated woman, because I am, I know it, and I sure as heck am not going to let some song make me feel bad about myself. Women, you should KNOW you're wonderful, powerful people and not let those songs define who you are.

Some songs make my eyebrows raise, but then I just take it with a grain of salt. They might have different opinions than me, but they are just making music, just doing their thing, like us all.


It's called freedom of speech, guys.
I still say try the christian radio thing.
Don't listen to music you don't like. Easy as that.

Always,
Jess

Umm first off yes I am taking it personal, because a lot of people on this board say this and that and don't expect people to take things personaly by some of the trash remarks people say. Well for once, since I rarely get pissy I am taking this one personal.
Before you try break down my post and start something you probably can not finish, "We" meant the people posting in this particular thread with that particular opinion. Ask and you shall always receive an answer. Yes , including me, and your point WAS WHAT?
Actually you know what forget it, cause guess what I don't care. I have better topics to drop my two cents and guess what this ain't it.
So the arrows pointing where now:rolleyes:

DGPhoney~

it's not in my direction..never was....i have nothing to prove here...this should all be in fun..and to me it is...like I stated in the prior post...I listen to this music..I'm just having my fun with it....but...I end it here...if it's getting to you personally...i will be man enough and human enough to end it and say, I'm sorry.
I was never out to get at anyone personally, and if it did affect you.....again...I'm sorry.

DGPhoney.
Porn on the tube would probably cause people to watch as well, and in essence, sell...so is it that the resulting profit that proves whether or not it's approrpriate?

I'm glad someone else picked up on that point.

Hey guys, haven't you ever heard of a DEBATE! It's just presenting two different sides (in a logical and mature way) while backing up your arguement. No need for anyone to take it to heart. It would be a vanilla world if we all agreed.

Umm hmm , PORN, Wait I thought the TOPIC was NASTY SONGS, maybe i read wrong or opps maybe you read wrong! Porn is a whole another topic, so unless you are opening up a thread about that then it's not worth me posting about it or even replying about . Enough Said!
DGPhoney~

I must be getting old. The only lyrics I can even understand to that song are, well, "back that azz up." :p

I have to say that I actually like some of the songs..Missy E is just the best! But anyhoo, if I ever hear a song that shocks me, all I do is change the station and don't listen to it. Most of these songs will be old news in a few weeks anyhoo. And ya, some of them do sound all the same-I suppose there are only so many songs you can sing about your cars and your jewlery, and whatever else you buy.:rolleyes:

I don't know..no point here really..just my $ .02 ;)

Censorship sucks. If you don't agree with the music turn the station or write the artist and ask them to write nicer music. I don't like most the music talked about but I don't complain about it, I just don't listen to it. Everyone should be able to choose what they listen to.

Adulthood
 

The beauty of being adults in an ostensibly free society is that we have the power to turn the radio off if we dislike the music. We also don't have to buy the artist's music.
Commercial radio plays what the marketplace wants. That's the way it is -- you can't change it unless you own the station. And most of us are NOT named Clear Channel Communications or Infinity Broadcasting, LOL.
As for me, I listen to mainstream jazz (John Coltrane, Miles Davis, the like) which certainly doesn't have any "back that azz up" style music.

Re: Adulthood
 

Uh, that's my point. Us as ADULTS can turn off the music if we want. But, what about the CHILDREN?

They can, but that means they can purchase the cd, or cassette or what-have-you. I am personally indifferent to hearing it, I like some of it, I think some of it sucks, but I don't really think that most of it should be on the radio. I mean, I listened to the radio nonstop when I was in first grade, we're shocked that kids are how they are today, then blame it on the parents....I mean seriously, how ignorant/oblivious of a society are we living in? You might say, but the parents can control what they listen to....no they cannot, not when some of this shit is played on every station, should we just say...oh, okay let the few songs ruin the experience of radio for my child because a few people want to hear the radio stations playing the filfth, rather than just buying it themselves.

and where does porn enter the scenario? Umm, are you serious? Do a lyrical analysis sometime rather than just replying with pissed-off posts. Nasty songs are essentially porn for the ears, cause you're hearing about the glorification of sex and the cheating rather than seeing it first hand. Is there a difference? It's the same thing manifested into a different form.

And, that was the beginning of the downfall of radio, when they started playing that song. At first, I was like OMG did he say ASS on the radio?! :eek:

Yes you can buy the CD, yes you can buy the cassette, so what. Thats apart of that you know umm industry. People really get real, if you don't like it change the station. Most radio stations sad to say are not made for little kids, besides the music, they TALK abut some crazy, graphic things as well. If you think some of it sucks then thats you,and not popular demand if it's being played on every station.Just cause you personaly don't like something, mean the rest of us have to stop listening to it, because it says this or that.
Thats why there are so many battles today, cause people want to tell others what we should or should not listen too. If I pay for the CD and it says XYZ curse word and says this and that , not only am I going to play it, I am going to blast it out my speakers, so evvvveryone can hear it :)
You talk about "Porn for your Ears" if thats the case then things people say out of there mouths could be "porn for the ears" and what? we should tell them " Oh I am sorry you are no longer allowed to speak" I think not. Really, people only have these major music battles is when it comes to Rap because they say everything and anything, SO WHAT . But I guess it's ok then for Briteny Spears to shake her but on tv in her flesh colored costume to do her thang in front of the kiddies, but that must not be porn then ,huh :eyerolls:
As for my post, it's ok for you to curse in your post, which I have not in any of my posts in this thread, but yet you want to say something about my "pissy post" I can say whatever I want however I want, whether it is pissy or not. Last time i checked I didn't think you ran how or what I say, unless you are a new censor:D

I don't think it has much to do with rap music..well maybe considering that rap and hip hop are different...I listen to a good amount of hip hop..and if anyone knows what I'm talking about..it's that underground stuff..the stuff that lashes out at this bs commercial rap. I'm talking about Dead Prez, GP Wu, Goodie Mob, Talib Kwali and Hi-Tek, Lava Darkman, Jedi Mindtricks, M.O.P.
some good old Outkast, DJ Honda, Mos Def, Gang Starr....and many many more....

maybe I've adapted to that msg....and it seems to be a positive one...

but..that's about all I have to comment about...it's impossible for me to get mad at things on the internet...

And it is just as easy to not click on this thread as it is to change a station...easier infact, because you wouldn't even have to click...while having to change a station exerts physical energy.

Ever think it is because rap and R&B is the most trifling music out there. :p

Ooh, Britney Spears, don't even get me started, that is an entirely different category!

Re: Re: Adulthood
 

If I had children (not yet a parent), they would come under my control and discipline. I would be very vigilant and if I dislike the message, I will shut the radio off. Period.

Strict parental control is something I'm used to. I was raised by older parents and if I'm blessed with children, I will probably be close to 40 when I become a mother. And I would prefer that my kids not listen to offensive music.

First let me say if anyone believes that the music played on radio is because of "public demand" you are mistaken. It's all about money and promotion, labels and contracts. That's why FM came to be in the first place. It was an alternative to commercial type music. Sadly, it lost it's vision years ago and has fallen prey to the same trapping AM lost it's footing in. Bottom line on this is-you may not realize it, but you ARE being told what to listen to.

As far as children go...GOOD LUCK. You see, you may be able to control their viewing and listening material in your own home, but when they visit their friends, they will be exposed to the interests and values of another family and its members.

Example-Everyone said "You've got to see Something About Mary". I RENTED it and while watching, my son walks in plops down and the famous scene appears on screen.
Point is-If you can't feel comfortable watching or listening to something in front of your kids or your parents is the proper venue for such material free airways? I'm not calling for censorship, but I do believe that free access should have some guidelines and for all you Democrates, may I quote one of your leaders-"It takes a village to raise a child." Oh, and for all those who may believe the ATTACKS were really retaliation-Our Western culture (Hollywood, Music, Capitolism etc.) is exactly the excuse the fanatics are using to annihilate us.

brilliant posting justamom, I cannot decide if some of our views conflict, or support though. Regardless, not exposing children to the profanity of this music in our home is one thing we can do among many others we cannot, so it's not entirely in vain..do you agree? And like you said, the radio tells you what you want to hear rather than just promoting new bands and new music. Children are most easily convinced, so they are of course going to like it when the radio tells them that they should.

Justamom,
To clarify, I was putting out a hypothetical situation if I ever have children.
I'd expect my kids to possibly be exposed to some stuff I disdained, especially if they do go to other kids' homes where the parents have different values.
But I'd also hope that I'd raise my children to the point where they would rather listen to Miles Davis than most popular music, including boy bands and teenybopper girl singers, which I consider vapid, about 60 percent of the time. :)

SigmaChiCard- I really think we do share the same philosophy. I just get "wordy" sometimes. One's home IS the last place we have control over the pablum our kids consume. Even attending religious based schools can't guarantee your philosophies will be taught. You will be/are(?) a great Dad, Uncle, Big Bro or Pal to any kid.

Steeltrap-I hope I didn't offend you by my post. No intention to
We are pretty much in agreement too. I also believe as parents we must just "turn the damn thing off". You were right too when you said "You hoped they would prefer-your example-Miles Davis." If they are introduced to quality (listening, viewing, reading) and it is encouraged, the odds are much greater that that is what they will be drawn to. BTW, Miles Davis-EXCELLENT!

I wonder if the young ladies on this board will feel the same about these issues when they are raising children of their own.
I may have my genders mixed up.

Justamom,
I'm not offended at all, just wanted to clarify.
I'm female, by the way.

To get back on topic.....
Here's a nasty song that gets played at least once a night at every Orlando club: it's by Lords of Acid and the name is something that I'm not about to write on a public forum. It begins with a P and ends with a Y. Need I say more?
