totally forgot about this song


People can, of course, be as outraged as they want. Song is awful both in execution and message. Dunno how much sense an apology makes for a song you never put out 20 something years ago but, hey.

That said, rap music, especially from that era is full of stuff like this.

Anyone here ever listened to Kool G Rap's "Hey, Mister" about beating women in the streets? 3 verses, no less!!!!

Fact is, lot of records I like from back then have cringeworthy moments of social commentary. If stuff like Cave Bitch, Black Korea, Dark Skin Girls (by Del) come on, I'm prolly gonna skip it immediately.



I also am a reggae music fan...so perhaps I am already attuned to the challenges posed by songs like this, at least as a heterosexual fan of the music.
