In an almost unheard of moment of clarity, ultra-conservative blogger Michelle Malkin points to the number one and two rap song lyrics in America right now:
The "song" is "This Is Why I'm Hot." It has topped the charts for the last 15 weeks. Here's a taste of the lyrics that young men and women are cranking up in their cars:
This is why I'm hot
Catch me on the block
Every other day
Another bitch another drop
16 bars, 24 pop
44 songs, gimme what you got…
… We into big spinners
See my pimping never dragged
Find me wit' different women that you s never had
For those who say they know me know I'm focused on ma cream
Player you come between you'd better focus on the beam
I keep it so mean the way you see me lean
And when I say I'm hot my dis is what I mean
Let's move down the Billboard list, shall we? The number two rap track in the nation this week is by rappers Bow Wow and R. Kelly (yes, the same R. Kelly who was indicted five years ago on a raft of child-porn charges and is still awaiting trial). The "song" is called "I'm a Flirt" and it's been on the charts for 12 weeks:
I'm a b pimpin
I don't be slippin
When it come down to these hos
I don't love em
We don't cuff em
Man that's just the way it goes
I pull up in the Phantom
All the ladies think handsome
Jewelry shining, I stay stuntin'
Thats why these s can't stand em
I'm a chick mag-a-net
And anything fine I'm bag-gin it
And if she got a man, I don't care
10 toes and I wanna be, cause I gotta have it
The final line:
Now the moral of the story is cuff yo chick,' cause hey,
I'm black, fresh , and I rap, plus I'm rich, and I'm a flirt.
Malkin provides other examples but you get the idea. Her concluding paragraph:
One dumb radio/television shock jock's insult is a drop in the ocean of barbaric filth and anti-female hatred on the radio.
Imus gets a two-week suspension. What kind of relief do we get from this deadening, coarsening, dehumanizing barrage from young, black rappers and their music industry enablers who have helped turn America into Tourette's Nation?
Normally, I wouldn't give Malkin the time of day but she has a point . . . . how can you take black criticism of Imus seriously when guys like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson aren't raising the same hue and cry about their own community?
