Spend That (Wicked ass Song or Is that Your Jam)

I think the reality is this. Is a fucked up song, but its fun and over the top ridiculous

There has been PLENTY of songs in hip hop that has had that same thing said about it.

Tbh I think Hip Hop would be boring af if India Arie ran it. Do I listen to India Arie? Yes.

My point is there is a time and place for everything. I put on hit em up when I wanna turn up or disrespect another dude seriously or jokingly.

I guess thats my point is that woman should get the same pass or grace as the toxic king Future.


About to go put on some Suga Free as we speak lol

Queen Latifah can run hip hop.

Lauryn hill can run rap and r&B now. Especially women rap.

Sugar Free a legend. And yeah as somebody who laughs hysterically at MJG starting off a verse saying "I keep a big ol nigga beater heater" I'd be a hypocrite to get up in arms over Spend It content wise.
 
I can't speak for her, or what was going on in her head, but it seems idia's reaction was maybe more or less "When does it ever end???". Lotta folks, young and old, been complaining about how today's rap is basically nothing more than serial killer/hooker slut hoe music. Shits been all over TikTok, IG, and elsewhere. So here comes this joint and its blowing up and my perception of this whole pushback against it is more like "Again with this shit??? Wasn't we JUST complaining about this???!!!".

But... we've had songs like this forever, and there's been complaints about such stuff forever but back then, and I've said this for over a decade, there was more balance; it wasn't all just serial killer/hooker slut hoe music and that's the difference.

I think the culture is ready to pivot away from serial killer/hooker slut hoe music primarily because the culture lacks the balance we used to have.




























oh yeah, before I forget...

A decade ago people were also saying "There was more balance in the past". Its the never ending complaint. Everyone thinks there was "more balance in the past".
 
I don't know. I just listened to the song. It's not even that bad for this era. It's not as bad as some of those Whore-Hop songs that were popular a couple years ago.

All I'll say is that the Black community is under open attack from white trash racists up to the Federal government, and a common refrain is that Black people have toxic culture and its to blame for our problems not racism. It certainly doesn't help our case when shit like this become the foremost representation of our culture. It would be one thing if there was some balance, but where's the positive black hit to counter this garbage? Back in the day NWA was putting out garbage too, but at least there was a Public Enemy out at the same time balancing it.
 
The song catchy as hell.... its toxic yeah. But the industry is toxic and we got popular artists like Sexy Red... so nothing is going to change
 
Idgaf what anybody say

Glorilla
Sexy Red
Latto
Megan
Cardi

I thoroughly enjoy them. They fun as shit, and make fun ass music.

I literally laughed my ass off watching Sexxy Red do that Michael Jackson song. She was dancing in the studio everything.

Leave them hoes alone bruh.... Let them do them.

Because there was. When was the last time you heard something afrocentric, positive, or uplifting on the radio? When was the last time you heard straight lyricism on some "Battle the unknown MC" shits? Maybe some silly shit like Redman, Biz, or Sir Mix A Lot made? How about some dance shit? Shit, niggas had a whole era of that in the mid 00's, where did that go?

Naw, it's murder death kill spin the block on the opps pussy eat ass suck dick scam he ain't got money shit on the radio now and aside from the odd Drake or Kendriock joint, that's really about it.

Think about this: The remix to BDP's "You Must Learn" hit #15 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. De La Soul's "Me Myself and I" was #1 on the Hot Rap Singles chart and peaked at #34 on the Hot 100 while Biz Markie's "Just A Friend" cracked the top 10 at #9 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. Hammer was #1 across the board with some of his shit, and that's with niggas clownin' him for being too commercial. PE had the #4 album in the country with Apocalypse 91...Enemy Strikes Black. Das EFX hit #1 on the Hot Rap Singles chart and #36 on the Hot 100 with "The Want EFX".

I could go on... But the real question is: When was the last time we had any sort of diversity in hip hop like that on the radio?
