To think Vossi Bop is misogynistic rubbish?

Just that really. Everytime it comes on the radio I'm a bit annoyed that with all the positivity of the Me Too! movement etc. this made number one.

Again, he’s not your purse or shoe. You don’t own anyone 🤣😂

It's not literal though is it? But when you are in a commited relationship, I do see it as "my" family. My partner feels the same way so it's not an issue for us. I am his and he is mine. Ridicule all you like.

PolinaPansy · 26/05/2019 22:43

I just don't see it as "you can never leave me" but more of us giving our self to each other.

Meh. No worse than what Nikki Minaj has burdened the world with.

@Contraceptionismyfriend

She hasn’t burdened the world with anything other than being the most successful female rapper of all time - sold the most, most Billboard 100 etc.

Also it would be nice if you were going to talk about something to be able to spell it right, wouldn’t it ? Nicki Minaj

I hope my dds never go out with someone who talks publicly about spunking on their faces. That's not too much to ask for in life is It?

Contraceptionismyfriend · 27/05/2019 10:59

She has burdened the world with some truly shit lyrics and music.
And I honestly couldn't care less how she spells her name. You understood it.

@Contraceptionismyfriend

Lol, I’m going to assume your white and don’t listen to rap ? 😂😂

Contraceptionismyfriend · 27/05/2019 11:05

I love rap.
But if we're talking about misogyny and the message lyrics send them how is Anaconda any different?

You're argument is she is successful?
Well Vossi Bop made it to number one and Stormzy is currently one of the most successful rappers.

Myusernameismud · 27/05/2019 11:06

Vossi bop isn't the most misogynistic song I've ever heard. It's not my favourite, but I'm not gonna get worked up about it.

There's a rather wonderful song called Pain Killer by Turin Breaks that I used to sing along to as a young teen. It was only when I listened to it as an adult that I realised the entire song is about a particularly good blow job and facial Hmm

Guest8989 · 27/05/2019 11:08

I think it’s shit and not catchy in the slightest

ineedtostopbeingsolazy · 27/05/2019 11:10

It's very catchy I like it but I had no idea what the lyrics were except 'fuck the government fuck boris'
Didn't realise what it was about.
I also thought it said my brothers don't die..until dc told me

@Contraceptionismyfriend.

You clearly don’t. I’m really sick of people not wanting to recognise the talent in traditionally black music including rap, hip hop, trap.

These rappers are just as talented as Billy Joel or The Beatles.

That’s on the UK charts. It’s not very hard to make it on the UK cHarts in terms of sales. It’s far more difficult on the BILLBOARD. You need more sales.

Stormzy is one of the most successful rappers in the UK right now. Not in the history of British rap.

Anaconda isn’t misogynistic. The whole point of the song is to love curvier bodies rather than pushing skinny bodies.

Vulpine · 27/05/2019 11:50

Not sure billy Joel is in the same category as the Beatles Hmm

Contraceptionismyfriend · 27/05/2019 11:53

This isn't about race. So don't try and make it something it's not.

Everyone has their own opinion about every artist and every song.
You might like her. Great. I don't mind her really but her lyrics to me are rubbish.

I don't believe that Stomzy is misogynistic and think that if someone were to target him for that then they need to look at the music industry as a whole.

People traditionally like sex. Sex sells. Musicians traditionally sing about things people like. Like sex.

DontFearTheReaper · 27/05/2019 11:56

You take that back about the piano man Vulpine Shock

PolinaPansy · 27/05/2019 12:16

I mean one of my favourite Eminem songs is literally about raping women. I'm a woman. A self-hating woman clearly.

PolinaPansy · 27/05/2019 12:18

You clearly don’t

I don't think that's fair. It is possible to like rap as a style of music without liking overly sexualised lyrics etc etc

Contraceptionismyfriend · 27/05/2019 12:41

You clearly don’t

So as some random screen name with a chip on her shoulder told me I don't like rap I assume I must now go and delete a large Chunk of my iTunes folder Hmm

sincethereis · 27/05/2019 12:46

yes, you must.

AutumnColours9 · 27/05/2019 15:08

I recently hear a song called Bet by Ocatvian and was shocked by the lyrics and it was on with no dubbing in the day time!! Worst I've heard by a mile
