You know Soror, although I mainly listen to Gospel now, every now & then I think about some of of old school songs, get misty-eyed, and then turn to BET. However, all I tend to see is some girl up there shaking & gyrating with a thong on (and trust me ~ I do not want to see a female in her thong). So I loose hope and change.
It does seem as though alot of younger ladies (I'm 29) have bought into the "I'm a b****, f*** dem ni***as, gold digga" mentality and it's sad. I work in an environment with alot of younger people and this is what I'm in seeing in the work environment as well. Thankfully, I can say, not all of the young GENTLEMEN that I see are "seriously" paying them very much attention. And as Ideal 08 said ~ they tend to approach young LADIES.
Hopefully, some of the younger sorors & sfs can shed some light on this subject, but whatever happened to just love songs? I don't always want to go as deep as Erika Badu (after a 12 hr shift, I don't want to have to think anymore) to hear good music and I don't really listen to Kelly Price too much. Is there anything else out there?
