Then it is understandable why I almost kicked the song because many times
the terms that were used in the song are referring to derogatory terms for
women. The fact that it was a woman singing the song didn't make me think of
it in any other way either so I had to get Amanda to listen and watch in
order to really understand what was being talked about. However, I agree
with what you are saying because if it hadn't gotten to this point then one
I wouldn't have thought any thing about it and only thought that she was
referring to the proper names for things, but due to the societal influence
and what society has allowed we do have to question things that we are
presented with. Here I understand the I guess you could call it satire due
to every other rap song being derogatory and as you say it full of anger and
disrespect. I am not a big rap song listener, but Bethann on the other hand
is a closet rapper so she may be able to shed some light on this for us
*LOL*.
Since I have mentioned women a couple of times throughout this I also want
to mention that today is women's equality day.

I cannot understand how r and b of the 1940's, 50's, and 60's could be so
full of art and diversity, and how so much music has gone so far down hill.
Rap, not all, but much of it, is nothing but anger and disrespect.

> Well, one of the big assignments is coming up next week. I signed up for a
group presentation that is to be given on Sept. 3. There is supposed to be 3
other members in my group, but being that it is the first group no one is
signing up *LOL*. My thoughts are do it and get it over with, then the rest
of the semester I can listen to the presentations. The presentation is 20
minutes long, the longest presentation that I have given since being at the
university. well the longest presentation I have given period since starting
college. The good thing is the video can be up to 5 minutes long and I found
one that was 46 seconds long and then I found another one that was 200
seconds long so 4 minutes and 6 seconds. The videos are funny, but I had to
ask Amanda about both of them to make sure what the content was and one to
make sure that they were appropriate. Given the audience I believe they will
be just fine. The presentation is on parental stress and family stress
theory or something to that nature. One video is of penguins, a hand full of
baby penguins and then the momma penguin, the penguins are going off and
then all of a sudden the momma penguin kicks one of them off into the water
*LOL*. After that they all shut up for a second and then started right back
into it. The next one is a rap song about parental stress and at one point
she says I have all my "bitches and hoes" with me, but when Amanda watched
it, it was concluded that she was being politically correct as in the video
there were two dogs and then when she said "hoes" it showed her with her
garden hoes. So, that was the extent of the videos. I just about kicked the
song due to the language, but then when Amanda watched it I decided to keep
it. It is now in my professor's inbox waiting for approval. Anyways if you
all will, keep me in your prayers regarding this presentation. One of the
videos that I am going to paste at the bottom is very much so visual, but
Bethann and the other sighted members can enjoy that one and we can all if
we choose to enjoy the song.
