This Isn't Hip Hop!
Today, I heard the most vulgar song ever. I can honestly say that it offended me. It's some new song by the Ying Yang Twins. I heard it while visiting a friend. Her brother was blasting it on his stereo. When the song first came on, I heard the whispering. I was like "What kind of mess is this?". I turned to my friend and asked, "What is he whispering?" My friend informs me that if I knew the words that the guy was saying, then I'd be glad that I didn't understand the whispering.
I began listening to the words, and my mouth hit the floor. I couldn't believe what my ears were hearing.
wait til you see my d***. Ay b**** wait til you see my d***. imma beat that p**** up...
Is this the kind of crap masquerading as hip hop now? What is the industry coming to? I shouldn't be surprised that crap (YES I SAID CRAP) like this is allowed to be created, but this is a bit much. I understand that this has quickly become one of the top singles on local radio stations. That disgusts me. Kids are listening to this stuff. WAKE UP PEOPLE! God forbid if there's a video to this joint. I guess a somewhat "hot track" will sell any hideous song. Shameful!
Hip Hop is a farce right now. I'm yearning for the essence of real hip hop right now. Common's "Be" can't come soon enough...

Do you really expect more from the Ying Yang Twins? I agree that the song is rather tasteless, but it's what sells. Sad, I know.

I'm waiting on Common too. "Corners" is a hot joint, AND that's real Hip-Hop. Yin-yang is just two fools saying whatever over a nice track. that ain't hip-hop. Holla Back...

That ain't no real music, it's a bunch of trash. That is why I do not like alot of these new hip hop people, they spit out nothing but garbage. I mean, seriously...how can they get a deal with such dirty lyrics as that? Grrr, makes me maaaaaaad!

i'm not surprised. secular hip hop fell through a long time ago. it's not even hip hop anymore, just raunchy songs about sex passing off as hip hop. you tune into any secular top 10/40 radio station and song after song all you'll hear are explicit lyrics.

wow...Its really a sad thing. How did it get to this point? I dare not ask how far it can go. Let us continue to pray, especially for the young folk. This is the type of stuff that's marinating around in their hearts and minds...and Truth states out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and as a man thinks so is he.

The Ying-Yang Twins disrespect the ying and the yang. Probably don't even know what it means.
