Ladies Are We Just Ass and Boobs?

Hearing a good beat to a song draws me in, then I have to get into the lyrics. There have been moments when I'm like damn, why are they saying that?  It makes my skin crawl. I love music, one of my favorite things to share with my kids. But these artist are making it hard because of the explicit content. Don't get me wrong, I like Nicki but this right here isn't necessary. I came across this article on Facebook and thought  I'd share it.

Nicki is hot but I don't think she need to do this to sell records. She's very talented in her craft.  

Are You A Beat Rider Or A Lyric Seeker?

We can get caught up with catchy hooks and banging beats. I honestly have to listen to the song in its entirety to figure out what the artist is talking about.Simply because I'm focusing on the sound. Hearing a hot beat will make you want to get up and dance or go out and party. In most cases its the sound that draws you in. But what about the LYRICS? 
My sons love music just a much as I do. If its not on television, radio or coming from their friends they search for it. The other day they asked me to download "Move That Dope". The look on my face was like Not!

They Couldn't understand why I said no. Given the name of the song, that was enough for me. I took it a step further and goggled the lyrics.    http://rapgenius.com/Future-move-that-dope-lyrics  I scratched my head and thought Why? These artist has so many young and Mature fans that are influenced by their music. Why Give them something to set them back? There's the ongoing debate that we as parent have control of what we let our children hear and see.This is true. One minute we are encouraging them to listen to Pharell's song "Happy". But have to hide a song like Move That Dope" that he's featured in. When I gave my boys the reason why that song will not be downloaded the first thing out their mouths was. " But I thought Pharell was good?". Can't Wait Until The Day We Do Better Because We Know Better.

Please say it is so, Mason Betha has a new single getting some air play entitled, "Nothing"  featuring new talent Eric Bellinger. Can't expect nothing less coming from Mase. Fun and flirty lyrics with a classic Mase video to go along. We have the pleasure of seeing his current girlfriend malaysia pargo in the video. Like I said it fun and for the women. He's not bashing women. Did Take Mr. Betha to come back and show women how we should be treated? Listen to the song below.
