Spend That (Wicked A** Song or Is That Your Jam?)

Thank you. I knew you wouldn't, you know better not to do so. If it was something about green eggs and ham, you'll play it.

You aint dumb brotha, not sure why you go all around the world just to land on the same pad as me. You know the song aint shit and it hurts the community in many ways, if it didn't you'll have your kids listening to it.

No I don't think the song hurts the community. I think it's a shitty song. Two different sentences. I don't let my kids listen to shitty music.

I was listening to Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's album over the weekend and it really struck me how it could never be made today because it's not on some toxic shit. They can actually sing too, so that shit really son't fly in today's climate either. I have a bunch of old R&B on vinyl and cassette and it always strikes me how musical it was, and how that shit simply wouldn't work today.

I have my own thoughts on the transition of r&b from the 80s,90s and 2000s to now. And most of it revolves around an exit from one of the proven training grounds for many great singers. The church
 
Somebody saying "lick her up and down" to some is bad and explicit and should be taken off the radio. No niggas.


If a song is made about some bullshit, Where my welfare hoes at,

I need a robber as my main nigga.

Take his life, take his life.

Beat that beat up, slap her around.

If these are songs and the song lyrics are centered around this shit, bar for bar, 1st stanza, 2nd stanza and the hook, the shit is damaging and you have 5th graders singing the shit.


A niggas saying someone is "pedo" aint damaging to the community, especially if he has evidence.

I cannot believe niggas really trying to reach and save this stupid ass song.

It ain't the adults that's a problem, well... Lemme back that up.

The bigger problem is that there are very young children listening to this. The adults listening and taking it to heart are pretty much a lost cause, but they're more than likely the people allowing their own kids to listen to it.

People see things they don't like and view it as persecution on the things they do like. Like somehow what they love is being replaced, when the reality is there are just more of an abundance of things they don't care for. They see the market being flooded with things that aren't for them, and they lose their shit. When I'm reality, the increased accessibility covers all things, including things they do like.

The bold is something that can't really be debated. There's way too many ways to avoid shit you don't like now. And many more ways to indulge in the shit you do. You can literally create your own bubble.

Fucking exactly. It's so easy to bubble that shit completely out of your life. The only reason I'm aware of this song is because it's a thread I choose to engage in. There is 0 chance that song would have invaded my life if I didn't choose to listen to 30 seconds of it for this discussion.

Bruh, you on FB, right??? If so, it would have eventually popped up on your timeline.
 
Shit I remember being in school in the 5th grade going back and forth over who knew the lyrics to "Smokin On Hay" by Crucial Conflict. Catchy ass song about smoking weed. Openly played on radio with no problem. Was people mad at Crucial Conflict for "promoting drug culture to the youth"? Maybe I was lucky enough to have a parent who was able to explain that entertainment at times is just that...entertainment and not meant to be taken as a life mantra. Because the content being taken issue with ain't gonna stop. So maybe the parents should...talk to their kids. Explain fantasy from reality. Because reality ain't gonna stop or change because of your dislikes. Scammers exist. Don't want your kid to become one then do your best to raise them to know that's not an actual lifestyle to aspire to.
 
If it's kids listening to this song. They already gone bruh.

The song could have never came out and them exact hypothetical kids you talking about.... Still gone.

It's way too many contributing factors to a ruined child to pin it on a song. If there's a kid with legit problematic behavior, and you start your search with what they listening to??

🤦🏿‍♂️....

Yeah, y'all attacking the symptoms and not the disease.

The song isn't going to make somebody do something they wasn't already doing. As Du said ain't no nursing student about to drop out and start boosting becausr of this song. The song is emulating them because the artist ain't out here scamming. She talking about the people who are. In this case the song was inspired by the people already doing it. Not the other way around. I wouldn't play alot of shit around my kids that even my own parents let fly around me...but that's based on my kids individual personalities more than anything else. Shit in the 90s you had Lil Kim on the radio rapping about being the new Vanessa Del Rio and that was on the radio version of Get Money. Like i said TI was on radio singles calling himself "Pussy Pumper" and nobody batted an eye.

I don't parent according to what others do. I parent based on what's best for my kid for who they are. I don't want my kid singing that song 99.9% because it's a terrible song regardless of the topic. But 2 years ago kids all around was running around screaming "they not like us they not like us" calling Drake a pedophile which is also vulgar as hell and that shit won a Grammy and was used in everything you can imagine. But because it was a good song nobody gave a damn. So the caring about what kids should and shouldn't hear shifts based on more than anything is the shit actually good. People let alot of shit slide if the product is something they enjoy. Which you've already proven. So the real issue is are people willing to call out the shit that even they enjoy or does it only get called it when it's something they don't like?

Brotha,

A chick or dude in nursing school can't start scamming? A nursing chick in school can't start looking for scamming ass dudes because she wants to emulate the lyrics and get shit done for her? Just because they are in nursing school? You do know there are new scammer created every day, who are in school, on job-sites etc.

And before you say "no i didn't say that" double talk, nigga you are saying that. I aint shot him but I shot at him.

When Destiny Child dropped "independent" I guess that didn't want women who were in college, or working at Popeyes or a cashier at Wal Mart want to become a independent woman?


I guess if a song comes out that sky rockets to number 1 with the hook and lyrics being "Rob this nigga on Payday" and you have 5th graders singing it around the country, nothing won't happen

Already gone? Gone from what if they never heard any of this kind of music before?

How are they already gone? If a 5th grader learns about scamming from this song because what most kids do when they learn something new, They ask around.

So how are they already gone?

They learn about scamming, from other kids, or reading etc, now they wanna participate into scamming shit.

How are they already gone when most kids don't know about scamming

They can start scamming. What we are saying is the song didn't make them do it. Somebody who wanted to be a scammer was gonna do it regardless. So why not attack the things that cause circumstances for them to think scamming is a good idea...and not a former scammer making a song about it.
