Came across some supposedly popular rap music by several different artists today...full of explicit lyrics like
Spoiler:
***** be spinnin' on my dick like a CD-ROM, hos be all up on my dick, and several other rather non-creative ways to call women hos and whores and demand that they put a cock in their mouth


What possible intrinsic artistic value does this have? Is there something I'm missing? Is this some sort of gangsta/thug angst? It seems pretty much like just a bunch of nasty, vulgar, gratuitous, crap to me.

There are some rap songs I like because they express anger and rage in a creative and powerful way and about something that is WORTH getting angry over....but most of it is just crap about mindlessly shooting people, drinking, and forcing "hos" to give it up.

@ LK:

Oddly enough, this same observation occurred to me when I was over in San Francisco a few months ago. At a couple points during our stay, we were blasted out by someone cranking out hardcore rap on their car stereo, and it was nothing but a string of obscenities/insults.

This style of rap holds no fascination for me whatsoever.

Profanity should be reserved to make actual points in song lyrics, not just to throw them out there to be edgy.

Good rap = artists like Eminem, DMX, and Beastie Boys (although I see the Beasties as more hip hop than rap).

There's a lot of misogyny is some of that music. Welcome to whats popular, confused white female. :D That's why I stick to nerd-core hip hop.

Well, it's really beyond gross and I don't offend that easily with profanity and stuff but, for example, go read the lyrics to "No Hands" by Roscoe Dash:
Spoiler:
Can't you tell, goose we been spent fifty stacks so **** it
Well I'm tryna to hit the hotel with two girls that's wide awake
Take this dick and swallow bay mascato got her freaky
Hey you got me in a trans, you take of yo pants
You pussy pop on a handstand you got me sweating please pass me a fan DAMN!!

I can't believe there are kids, yes kids, actually listening to this. This is beyond an F-you here are and there or old school allusions to getting laid, this is hard core NASTY, explicit, stuff and that was one of the more mild songs.

Yeah, I know. It's like rap music suddenly became all vulgar, isn't it? Well, here's a gem from 1999. You might recognize the song:
Spoiler:
(Juvenile)
Got you working with some ***, yeah
You bad, yeah
Make a nigga spend his cash, yeah
His last, yeah
Hoes clown when you pass, yeah
They mad, yeah
You gon' ride in the Jag, yeah
With dad, yeah
You could smoke or buy a bag, yeah
A grass, yeah
Got money I confess, yeah
And trash, yeah
I'm a Big Tymer nigga, yeah
Pulling trigger, yeah
A player hater to flip with, yeah
Gon' head and fill it, yeah
I be slanging wood, yeah
Out the hood, yeah
Let it be understood, yeah
It's all good, yeah
Got a nigga screaming large, yeah
On the hard, yeah
A smooth ghetto broad, yeah
I want the broad, yeah
A nigga do a trick, yeah
On the dick, yeah
You claiming you want a *****, yeah
That ain't ****, yeah
The nigga with the money, yeah
Don't act funny, yeah
Got birds and I'm running, yeah
'Bout a hundred, yeah

Chorus)
Girl, you looks good, won't you back that *** up
You'se a fine ****, won't you back that *** up
Call me big daddy when you back that *** up
Hoe, who is you playing with, back that *** up
Girl, you looks good, won't you back that *** up
You'se a fine ****, won't you back that *** up
Call me big daddy when you back that *** up
Girl, who is you playing with back that *** up
Girl, you looks good, won't you back that *** up
You'se a fine ****, won't you back that *** up

(Juvenile)
You got to steal, big ***, yeah
Make me laugh, yeah
Make a nigga wanna grab that
Wanna grab that
I'm sweating on the draws, yeah
On hard, yeah
Wanna walk it like a dog, yeah
Break you off, yeah
How you gon' get yours, yeah
That's for sure, yeah
You **** with my nerves, yeah
To the curb, yeah
I know you ***** know, yeah
And it show, yeah
But a nigga got some more, yeah
I'm 'bout to flow, yeah
Fresh off some ****, yeah
In his *****, yeah
We be making hit, yeah
After hit, yeah
Them titties sitting nice, yeah
I wanna bite, yeah
I could **** you right, yeah
All night, yeah
Wanna bring it to my house, yeah
On the couch, yeah
Knock the pussy out, yeah
Get them out, yeah
I wanna see these hoes, yeah
Bend it low, yeah
Let me run it in the hole, yeah
Let me know, yeah

(Chorus)
Girl, you looks good, won't you back that *** up
You'se a fine ****, won't you back that *** up
Call me big daddy when you back that *** up
Hoe, who is you playing with back that *** up
Girl, you looks good, won't you back that *** up
You'se a fine ****, won't you back that *** up
Call me big daddy when you back that *** up
Hoe, who is you playing with back that *** up

(Manny Fresh)
I know you can't stand it
Big Bandit done landed
See the draws handed
We can go get it y'all gang split it y'all
Put the ***** on the wall and I hit it y'all
I'm looking kind of lonely
I'm feeling horny
Put the dick in the middle like Monee
Big, thick plumber chick
And a Hummer chick
Beat the dick like a **** drummer chick
Cinch that putty-cat look at that
I love a **** hoody-rat
That's a fact
You'se a **** get it girl
Quit it girl
I'm the nigga, the nigga, nigga
The hit it girl
It isn't just men who are nasty, either. Here's a song by Lil' Kim from 1996, called "Not Tonight":
Spoiler:
I know a dude named Jimmy used to run up in me
Night time pissy drunk off the henny rimmy
I didn't mind it, when he **** me from behind
It felt fine, 'specially when he used to grind it
He was a trick when I sucked his dick
Used to pass me bricks, credit cards and ****
Suck him to sleep,I took the keys to the jeep
Tell him "I'll be back," go **** with some other cats
Flirtin', gettin' numbers, in the summer, hoe hop
Raw top in my mans drop
Then this homey Jimmy, he's screamin "Gimme,"
Lay me on my back, bustin' nuts all in me
After ten times we ****, I think I bust twice
He was nice, kept my neck filled with ice
Put me in Chanels, kept me out nice
Cold suckin' his dick, rockin' tha mike
It was somethin' about this dude I couldn't stand
Somethin' that coulda made his *** a real man
Somethin' I wanted, but I never was pushy
the **** never ate my pussy

Chorus: I don't want dick tonight, eat my pussy right
Uh, uh, uh, uh Lil' Kim, Lil' Kim, bring it to me now

I know a dude named Ron Doo push a Q
Had a wild crew on Flatbush and Avenue U
Had a weedspot, used to pump African black
He used to, seal his bag so his workers wouldn't cap
I used to see him, in the tunnel, with **** at dawn
Whisper in my ear he wanna get his **** on
I dug him, so I **** him, it wasn't nuttin'
He wanted me to suck him, but I didn't, I aint frontin'
The sex was wack, a four stroke creep
I jumped on his dick, rode his *** to sleep
He called next week, askin' why I aint beep him
"I thought your *** was still sleepin."
He laughed, told me he bought a new Path
Could he come over right fast and **** my pretty ***?
I'll pass, nigga the dick was trash
If sex was record sales you would be double plat
The only way you seein' me is if you eatin' me
Downtown taste my love like Horace Brown
Tryin' to impress me with your five G stones
I give you ten G's nigga if you leave me alone, screamin'

Chorus

The moral of the story is this
You aint lickin' this, you aint stickin' this
And I got witnesses, ask any nigga I been with
They aint hit **** till they stuck they tongue in this
I aint with that frontin' ****
I got my own Benz, I got my own ends, immediate friends
Me and my girls rock worlds, some big niggas
**** for car keys, and double digit figures
Good dick I cherish, I could be blunt
I treat it like it's precious, I aint gonna front
For limp dick niggas, that's frontin' like they willy
Suck my pussy till they kill me, you feel me?

Chorus
Here's another song she did with Sisqo in 2000, called "How Many Licks?":
Spoiler:
[Sisqo]
Hold up
So what you're saying is, oh
(Niggaz got me pissed like Lil' Kim)
You want to get freaky again, aight
A-ooh-ah-ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Lil' Kim]
I've been a lot of places, seen a lot of faces
Ah hell I even **** with different races
A white dude - his name was John
He had a Queen Bee Rules tattoo on his arm, uh
He asked me if I'd be his date for the prom
and he'd buy me a horse, a Porsche and a farm
Dan my nigga from Down South
Used to like me to spank him and cum in his mouth
And Tony he was Italian (Uh-huh)
And he didn't give a **** (Uh-huh)
That's what I liked about him
He ate my pussy from dark till the mornin
Called his girl up and told her we was bonin
Puerto Rican papi, used to be a Deacon
But now he be sucking me off on the weekend
And this black dude I called King Kong
He had a big *** dick and a hurricane tongue

[Sisqo]
So, how many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Cause I've got to know)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Lil' Kim]
This verse goes out to my niggaz in jail
Beatin they dicks to the double-X-L; Magazine (uhh)
You like how I look in the aqua green? Get your Vaseline
Roll some weed with some tissue and close your eyes
Then imagine your tongue in between my thighs
[Moans] Baby.. ohh.. yes ohh!
Jailer.. open up.. cell, block, eight
[sexual sounds]
Alright nigga, that's enough
Stop, look and listen; get back to your position
Kim got your dick hard, startin fights in the yard
Hotter than a Pop Tart fresh out of the toaster
Niggaz do anything for a Lil' Kim poster
Eses, Bloods, Crips, all the thugs
Up North in the hole, they all wanna know

[Sisqo]
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me, ha)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Tell me, oh yeah)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh)
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of the?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Lil' Kim]
If you drivin in the street, hold on to your seat
Niggaz, grab your meat while I ride the beat
And if you see a shiny black Lamborghini fly by ya
(Shoom!) That's me the Knight Rider
Dressed in all black with the gat in the lap
Lunatics in the street - gotta keep the heat
Sixty on the bezel, a hundred on the rings
Sittin pretty baby with a Cash Money bling
12 A.M. I'm on the way to club
After three bottles I'll be ready to ****
Some niggaz even put me on their grocery lists
Right next to the whip cream and box of chocolates
Designer pussy, my **** come in flavors
High-class taste niggaz got to spend paper
Lick it right the first time or you gotta do it over
Like it's rehearsal for a Tootsie commercial
Another gem from 2002, by Khia, "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)":
Spoiler:
All you ladies pop your pussy like this
Shake your body, don't stop, don't miss
All you ladies pop your pussy like this
Shake your body, don't stop, don't miss
Just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Lick it good suck this pussy, just like you should
Right now, Lick it good
suck this pussy just like you should
My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack,

My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack
My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack
My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack
My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack

First you gotta put your neck into it
Don't stop, just do, do it
Then you roll your tongue, from the crack back to the front
then suck it off til I shake and cum nigga
make sure I keep bustin nuts nigga
all over your face and stuff
slow head show me so much love
the best head comes from a thug
the dick good dick big and long
slow **** til the crack of dawn
on the edge makin faces n stuff
Through the night, making so much love
Dead sleep when the sun comes up

So, lick it now, lick it good
Lick this pussy just like you should
Right now, lick it good
Lick this pussy just like you should

[Chorus]
My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack
My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack

You might roll dubs, you might have G's
But **** that nigga, get on your knees
A ***** like me moans and screams
Thug misses know what I mean
At the club so fresh, so clean
Hoes hatin' niggas watchin' me
So hot in the line, on green
With a unit on my face, so mean
I gotta pick which nigga I need
to suck a thug nigga satisfy me
Try me nigga I'll make you see
them ***** aint got **** on me

So, lick it now, lick it good
Lick this pussy just like you should
Right now, lick it good
Lick this pussy just like you should

My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack
My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack

So, lick it now, lick it good
Suck this pussy just like you should
Right now, lick it good
Suck this pussy just like you should

My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack
My Neck, my back
Lick my pussy and my crack
Here's the lyrics to Sisqo's "Thong Song" from 2000:

So to be honest, at least the rap music industry is equal-opportunity when it comes to sexually exploitative lyrics. Female rappers are somewhat less common (though female artists have traditionally been less common within the music industry), but they exist, and are just as quick to judge potential paramours based on their willingness and skill at performing oral pleasure.

Nasty because you read it all in four minutes, or nasty because I insinuated as much in my post?

I don't like it, don't care for it. It irks me when I see parents with small children cranking stuff like this on the radio. I don't think the government needs to step in though.

Why is this in Hellfire? Seems a more appropriate topic for Entertainment....

Explicit lyrics don't a Hellfire topic make....

No, but it can hardly be considered "entertainment." :P

My guess is that it'll very quickly turn to discussion of black culture.

Hip hop music is full of albums with material pontificating on the more *ahem* academic issues in society. However, having an insane song with disrespectful lyrics bordering on rape and murder fantasies is just entertainment and a bit of an outlet. There are days when I just want to drag the person in the car in front of me out of the drivers seat and cave his/her skull in with the 30mm crescent wrench I keep in my hatch. But listening to a **** up song at the gym to blow off the steam seems like a better option after the urge to kill lowers.

Just my best guess. Some of those **** up tracks had some pretty cool rhythmic patterns in the rhymes. Here's a fairly recent (released in early November) but not nearly as explicit:



Hardly TI's best rapping or Pharrell's best production ... but TI's bad rapping is better than 95% of all the rest of the material signed, independent or otherwise.

2 Live Crew's "We Want Some Pussy" was released in 1987. What happened that somebody noticed offensive rap lyrics today?

I really hate rap.

As a young male growing up as the same time rap began to gain widespread appeal, I have to tell you that 2 live Crew was considered the embodiment of all that was evil at the time. I remember schools advising parents to go through their kids tape collections. Of course we all just kept dub tapes of 2Live and later on NWA unmarked. It was a wide gap from RUN DMC to get into 2Live territory. Hell I don't think that most folks would have known what rap was if it wasn't for the Aerosmith/RUN DMC version of "Walk this Way". Some would say Blondie/Fab5 were the begining but I don't think folks recgonized that as rap. Now the pendulum has swung all the way to the other side. It's mostly vulgarity and obscentiy, with the actual storytellers being rare.

I now consider the genre dead. All it is now is a formula. Combine 1 rapper with 1 part made up credibility, add 2 parts production and 1 part T-Pain vocoder track = $$. Sometimes a gem (Eminem/X-hibit type) pops up and will have longevity. Most of the time I doubt these "artists" are able to pay back their advances.

I would like to point out this lovely little ditty from the wonderful 1990 release by 2 Live Crew; Banned in the USA, and my personal favorite (I actually really do like this song for some reason, I cannot place). I give you....
Spoiler:


Face down, *** up

Chorus(2x): Luke
FACE DOWN *** UP! THAT'S THE WAY WE LIKE TO ****!
(repeated by the rest of the Crew)

Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice
I'm lookin' for a ***** to spend the night
Do the crazy thing while I **** all night
I make her do things like nothing before
And when I'm done, she'll always be sore
>From the things I do when I'm ****'
And when I'm tired, the ***** are suckin'
A double team with a friend of mine
Luke's in front and I'm behind
Just ridin' you like a pony
While you suck my dick, makin' me horny
Then all of a sudden we'll switch positions
Prop your *** up and freak the pushin'
And when I cum, you'll hear me roar
I'll treat any ***** like a whore
'Cause it's the way I like to ****
It's face down and *** up!

Chorus

Verse 2: Brother Marquis
Face down, *** up, that's the way I like to ****
I like the butt, it's my favorite position
I'm tired of the front, so that's why I'm *****'
Flip-flop it, baby, bend your *** over
In a full house spread, let me hold ya
Marquis, a raw dick ****
Virgin mouthpieces, the best dick-suckers
Dick-tricks, go round and round
Grip it with your pussy, go up and down
I got her callin' my name out when I'm freakin' out
I bust a nut, and then I'm breakin' out
So when you're naked, down on all fours
You better make sure that you get yours
'Cause a nigga like me will love ya and leave ya
I got mine, hoe! SEE YA!

Chorus

Verse 3: Luke
OK fellas, I got one right here, aaight? Check this out:
Lemme hear you say,
"Pussy ain't nuttin' but meat on the bone
Suck it or **** it or leave it alone!"
(they all repeat)
Say "Pussy ain't nuttin' but meat on the bone
Suck it or **** it or leave it alone!"
(they all repeat)
OK ladies, I got one for y'all!
Say "Dick ain't nuttin' but meat on the bone
Suck it or **** it or leave it alone!"
(the ladies repeat)
All the ladies lemme hear you say
"Dick ain't nuttin' but meat on the bone
Suck it or **** it or leave it alone!"
(the ladies repeat)

Can't you tell, goose we been spent fifty stacks so **** it
Well I'm tryna to hit the hotel with two girls that's wide awake
Take this dick and swallow bay mascato got her freaky
Hey you got me in a trans, you take of yo pants
You pussy pop on a handstand you got me sweating please pass me a fan DAMN!!

I can't believe there are kids, yes kids, actually listening to this. This is beyond an F-you here are and there or old school allusions to getting laid, this is hard core NASTY, explicit, stuff and that was one of the more mild songs.


Not to be pedantic, but where have you been, LK? :)

I can't really relate to the music. Hip-hop is all about being the coolest person in the room, which I have never been. And I don't know why anyone would pay money to listen a song about how you just bought them a boat, and they're AWESOME.

Also, move to entertainment or rants imo.

It is very interesting interacting with women who grew up in rap-centric cultures. A lot, (not ALL) genuinely believe that's what they exist for.

It seems a transparant attempt to sound tough, non-conformist and cool.

Makes them sound childish and unintelligent.

Ahh yes. I remember the whole locker room in gym class in middle school singing this at the top of their lungs. Good times.

I won't move it without LK's request... Can move things to Hellfire without the OPs request, but moving them away from Hellfire seems a bit off- she obviously wanted it here for a reason, not like she's new to the board. I just can't fathom why, especially since she doesn't usually like posting here.

Consider the possibility that this was brought to Kate's attention by an old lady at church ***** about the decaying moral fabric of society, and it starts to look very much like a Hellfire issue.

Wrong Hellfire :-D

I say we combine it with the "Completely Unrelated Boobies" thread in General, myself. Related themes- the use of suggestive themes to sell stuff.
