Exhibit A.

Most aspects of Hip Hop culture that is ... very few good things come out of it. The rich black people it creates are trash ... look no further than 50 cent. 50 cents is the epitome of trash

True. As did the early comedians like Redd Foxx, Richard Prior, etc., probably influenced generations of cussin', n-word using funny folks. The difference today is you can't hide this stuff in your closet or where ever because everything is on the web.

That wasn't the norm back then. Three or four comedians out of thousands only used such language back then. Now it's the norm.
Now what we seem to be overlooking is the White producers who pay these current rappers to use such language as hoes, bitches, cussin, police degrading, etc.
One wonders why such language is primarily being used by Black folks and not White country music singers or Spanish or Asian or even African or Caribbeans.
White producers ONLY sanction such language and pay for it using Black Americans.
Now why is that?

Bighead's ass ain't street, shit. He ain't gutter like the rest of us growing up in dysfunctional houses plural lol.

Seriously, today's hip-hop, as "they" refer to it, is VERY mainstream and corporate influenced and backed so the artists will do whatever, whenever, for how much ever in order to get paid. If that includes presenting themselves as something they are not, so be it. It sounds so... NWAish and Whodini'ish from back in the gap to a certain degree. Most of us here grew up on the 1980s stuff and it became our mantra, to a certain extent. So, it's hard for me to look down on today's folks doing their thing when I had elders my age asking me "WTF you mean you a HOE and YOU GONE ROCK FREE DIF'RENT FREAKS AFTER ERRY SHOW?!" :D lol

He wasn't calling his women, hoes. He was calling himself that. That's been going on with men since time began.
Now labeling our women as bitches and hoes was not the norm back then....at least not to my recollection, not until the mid to late '90's. And Blacks in the U.S. are the only ones being paid to put out such trash.
Why do you think that is? Look around the U.S. and the world. What other culture of people do that to their women?

Exactly, he referred to himself as a hoe and I, along w/ waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many others, were calling and proudly labeling ourselves as such as well. We referred to women as "freaks" and "skeezers" back then so what's the difference between those 2 terms and hoes/bitches? I agree that people of color ARE the only one driven by corps to defame/defile their own women for the sake of $$$$.
