Falling In Love...w/ an IGNORANT Song!

Okay so I am a victim....of feeding into the ignorant song movement.

Often times I find myself humming or grooving along to a song by Plies or Souljah Boy...I guess I'm just a victim of my environment.

I feel that artists are not excluded from the impact the recession has on American's wallets. Many artists want to continue to bring in their oogobs of money and how are they going to do this? Feed their listeners what they want. And it seems that their listeners are supporting and buying this "ignorant" music that some of our favorite artists create....so why not continue to make it so they can continue to get the money so they can continue to live the lavish lives they live? I mean...I would.

But that is not what should be happening.

Music is supposed to uplift the community and should serve as support during the trying times we are in. As consumers, we should be supporting the artists that create this music and groove to those lyris instead of the sexually explicit and often demeaning songs that we often finds ourselves bumping in our cars on a daily basis.

I shouldn't be preaching because I am at fault for contributing to these song but it would be nice if people could turn on their radios and hear something that sent a positive message instead of yelling at all the women to bounce their butts up...down...and from left to right....

Maybe when the recession is over we can get back to a more powerful message in our music.
