C. Delores Tucker Warned Us About Gangsta Rap! Your Rap Gods Sold Us Out!

Cynthia Dolores Tucker who went by C. Delores Tucker lived from 1927 to 2005. She was born in Philadelphia to religious Bahamian parents, and she was a civil rights activist who became infamous for her outspoken criticism of gangsta rap in the 1990s. She launched an aggressive campaign against the genre, sparking a feud with some of hip-hop's biggest stars.

Tucker has frequently accused white record executives of forcing black rap artists to "get down in the gutter and use pornography and profanity" in order to obtain a contract [as evidenced in the documentary Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes by director Byron Hurt]

"Morality goes out the window when greedy corporate heads smell the corrupting whiff of profits. Rap began with a more positive and political message before record executives began hyping up the violent imagery," she said.

She joined conservative Republican Bill Bennett in launching a national campaign against major music companies for supporting and sustaining artists profiting from what she deemed to be music that hurt the community. Tucker picketed stores and bought stock in Sony, Time Warner, and other major corporations to protest obnoxious lyrics at their shareholder meetings. In response, she often faced the wrath of these artists including Tupac Shakur, Lil Wayne and Lil Kim, who attacked her in their songs.

In his song Tupac also claimed she "had her legs up" trying to get paid.

Tucker responded by filing a $10 million defamation lawsuit against the estate of Tupac Shakur for the lyrics he used in his album All Eyez on Me.

The woman who spent much of the 1960's marching with Dr. King often invokes his name when questioning the lyrics and lifestyles of certain proponents of rap music. "What do you think Dr. King would have to say about rappers calling black women b***hes and wh**res?"

"He would be marching and demonstrating against the glamorization of violence and its corrupting influence, which has now become a part of our culture in the name of freedom."

She added, "Our young women are not sexual playthings subject to the whims of misogynist thugs. They are the descendants of African American kings and queens. They are God's precious jewels to nurture and nourish future generations. They are to be treated with respect."

C. Delores Tucker spoke on the adverse impact of gangsta rap (the lyrics & the lifestyle it promotes) decades ago (1993). She and many other Black women (elders) foresaw everything that is happening exactly today and probably perpetually (the current, dominant genre and culture of mainstream hip hop is hopeless). And sooo many rappers themselves attacked her for speaking out against it only to fall victim to the very thing she was warning our community about - or they saw their close friends and label mates fall victim.

Rap origins was about empowerment, consciousness, community, Black womanism, love, shining light on the social ills in Black communities manufactured by racism, love and the beautiful relationships between Black women and men and trying to repair and keep it intact & family and making legacies by having Black babies and then this infiltrated (planted by industry white/non-Black execs and labels who found willing Black men who were rappers) and brought death and destruction and degradation.

Gangsta rap or gangster rap, initially called reality rap, is a subgenre of hip-hop known for conveying the culture and values typical of urban gangs and street hustlers. Emerging in the late 1980s, gangsta rap's pioneers include Schoolly D and Ice-T of Los Angeles, later expanding in California with artists such as N.W.A, Tupac Shakur. In 1992, via record producer Dr. Dre, rapper Snoop Dogg, and their G-funk sound, gangster rap broadened to mainstream popularity. Murder Dog magazine and Ozone magazine introduced Gangsta rapper. Pen & Pixel and Phunky Phat produced CD cover.

Gangsta rap get worldwide and has been recurrently accused of promoting disorderly conduct and broad criminality, especially assault, homicide, and drug dealing, as well as misogyny, promiscuity, and materialism. Gangsta rap's defenders have variously characterized it as artistic depictions but not literal endorsements of real life in American ghettos, or suggested that some lyrics voice rage against social oppression or police brutality, and have often accused critics of hypocrisy and racial bias. Still, gangsta rap has been assailed even by some black public figures, including Spike Lee, pastor Calvin Buttsand activist C. Delores Tucker.

C. Delores Tucker is best remembered as a civil rights trailblazer who fought for women of color, and toward the end of her life against profane and misogynist lyrics in hip-hop/ rap music. She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 4, 1927, to Bahamian parents Whitfield and Captilda Nottage. Her father was a Baptist minister, and the couple operated a grocery store, an employment agency, and a real estate business in Philadelphia.

Cynthia Delores Nottage, the tenth of eleven children, attended Philadelphia High School for Girls, graduating in 1946. She then attended Temple University, where she studied finance and real estate. She dropped out however, to open an employment agency for southern blacks, who had just arrived in Philadelphia.  In 1951 she married businessman William Tucker, a construction company owner, who grew wealthy in Philadelphia real estate.

A successful realtor herself, by the 1960s she served as an officer in the Philadelphia NAACP. She worked closely with the local branch president Cecil Moore, to end racist practices in the city’s post offices and construction trades.  Tucker gained national prominence, when she led a Philadelphia delegation on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  By the decade’s end, Tucker’s expertise as a fundraiser for the NAACP, coupled with her Democratic Party affiliation, enabled her to be appointed chair of the Pennsylvania Black Democratic Committee.

Her selection by Philadelphia Mayor James H.J. Tate to serve on the city’s Zoning Commission in 1968, was the first of several prestigious political appointments, including vice chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party (1970). In 1971, Pennsylvania Governor Milton Shapp appointed her Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Under Tucker’s leadership, Pennsylvania became one of the first states to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, promote voter registration by mail, and to lower the voting age from 21 to 18.

In 1984 Tucker and New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, founded the National Political Congress of Black Women. In 1990, she and 15 other women and men, founded African American Women for Reproductive Freedom. Tucker however, failed to win elective office.  She ran, and lost, in her bid for lieutenant governor in 1978, the U.S. Senate in 1980, and the U.S. House in 1992.

By the 1990s Tucker became a highly vocal opponent of the salacious lyrics and sexual innuendos associated with “gangsta rap,” calling the lyrics of many of these songs “sleazy pornographic smut,” She joined conservative Republican Bill Bennett, in launching a national campaign against major music companies, for supporting and sustaining artists profiting from rap music. Tucker picketed stores that sold rap music. She bought stock in Sony, Time Warner, and other major corporations to protest obnoxious lyrics at their shareholder meetings. In response, she often faced the wrath of these artists including Tupac Shakur, KRS-One, Lil Wayne, and Lil’ Kim, who attacked her in their songs. Tucker filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against the estate of Tupac Shakur, for the lyrics he used in his album All Eyez on Me.

Cynthia Delores Tucker died on October 12, 2005 at a rehabilitation center in Norristown, Pennsylvania. She was 78, and was survived by her husband, William Tucker. The couple had no children.

Life and career

Early life and career beginnings

Jones was born in the Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood of the New York City borough Brooklyn, to parents Linwood Jones and Ruby Jones (now Ruby Jones-Mitchell). At the age of 9, her parents separated, and her father raised her until he expelled her from home when she was a teenager. She lived with her friends and on the street. While struggling through her personal life, Jones met The Notorious B.I.G. (real name Christopher Wallace), who was a key figure in both her personal and artistic life, particularly when Wallace had gained popularity and influence through his relationship with Bad Boy Records (which belonged to P-Diddy). Jones attended Sarah J. Hale Vocational High School for two and a half years. Many of her friends also went there and she would often skip school to hang out with them. Since her school work wasn't being completed, the decision was made for her to transfer to Brooklyn College Academy to finish her remaining year and half of school. It was the same school that fellow rappers Nas and Foxy Brown also attended. In 1994, B.I.G. was instrumental in introducing and promoting the Brooklyn-based group, Junior M.A.F.I.A., which included Jones, who was only 19 at the time. The group's first and only album, Conspiracy, was released on August 29, 1995 and debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 69,000 copies in its first week of release. Three hit singles came from Conspiracy: "Player's Anthem" (peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 2 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart), "I Need You Tonight" (No. 43 R&B, No. 12 Rap), and "Get Money" (No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 4 R&B, No. 2 Rap). The RIAA certifiedConspiracy gold on December 6, 1995. "Player's Anthem" and "Get Money" were certified gold and platinum respectively.

1996–2002: Hard Core and The Notorious K.I.M.

After a year with Junior M.A.F.I.A., Jones began a solo career by making guest performances on R&B albums and recording her debut album, Hard Core, which was released in November 1996. The album debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, the highest debut for a female rap album at that time, and No. 3 on Billboard‍ ' s Top R&B Albums, selling 78,000 copies in its first week of release. Hard Corewas certified double platinum by the RIAA on March 14, 2001 after having been certified gold on January 6, 1997 and platinum on June 3, 1997. The album's lead single "No Time", a duet with Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs (who would later change his stage name to "P. Diddy" and then "Diddy"), reached the top spot of the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart and was certified gold by the RIAA. The following single, "Crush on You", reached No. 6 on the Hot 100 and No. 2 on the rap chart. A remix of the album's track "Not Tonight" saw Jones team up with Missy Elliott, Angie Martinez, Da Brat and Left Eye of TLC. The song was part of the soundtrack to the Martin Lawrence movie Nothing To Lose, nominated for a Grammy Award, and certified platinum. In one stockholders' meeting of Warner Bros. Records, activist C. Delores Tucker criticized the label "for producing this filth," referring to perceived graphic sexual content in Jones' lyrics, and labeling them "gangsta porno rap". In 1997, Jones promoted Hard Core by performing on P. Diddy's "No Way Out" tour. The tour continued though to 1998 and became one of the highest grossing hip-hop tours of all time, grossing an estimated $16 million. That same year, she launched her own label Queen Bee Entertainment. From 1998 to 2000, Jones continued her road to stardom under the management of B.I.G.'s best friend, Damion "D-Roc" Butler's "Roc Management", touring and modeling for various fashion and pop culture companies including Candies, Versace, Iceberg, and Baby Phat. and even though she had not had an album of her own released, she was seen on dozens of remixes and guest appearances on other artist's records.

On June 27, 2000, Jones released her second album The Notorious K.I.M. The album marked a new image and revamped look for the rapper. Despite the limited success of its singles, the album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, selling 229,000 copies in its first week. It was certified platinum by the RIAA, four weeks after its release. It was on this LP that the well-known hip-hop feud between Jones and Foxy Brown escalated. In 2001, Jones teamed up with Christina Aguilera, Pink, and Mýa to remake "Lady Marmalade", which was originally written about a bordello in New Orleans and performed by the group Labelle (which included diva Patti LaBelle) 25 years earlier. The song was recorded for the Moulin Rouge! film soundtrack, released in April 2001, and stayed No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. The song also went to No. 1 in 50 countries around the world. This was a big accomplishment for female rap, as well as for Jones, who scored her first No. 1 Hot 100 hit and became the second female rapper in history to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. "Lady Marmalade" also garnered Jones her first Grammy Award. Jones also performed in two international hit singles. "In the Air Tonite", a remix of the Phil Collins song "In the Air Tonight" and duet with Collins, was released as a single from the Collins tribute album Urban Renewal. The second single, "Kimnotyze", was released as the lead single of record producer DJ Tomekk's compilation album Beat Of Life, Vol 1. It was released in Switzerland, Austria and Germany only. The song was successful, becoming Jones third consecutive top 10 hit in Germany after her number 5 hit "Lady Marmalade".

In 2002, Jones recorded a new entrance theme for then World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Women's Champion Trish Stratus entitled, "Time to Rock 'n Roll", which was used during broadcasts, until Stratus' retirement. The single was released on WWE Anthology, a compilation of entrance theme music to various professional wrestling superstars. Jones released the buzz song "Whats The Word" in mid-2002. Despite not having an official release, it went on to peak at number 9 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. It would later be released on the Japan edition of her third studio album, La Bella Mafia, as a bonus track.

2003–05: La Bella Mafia and legal problems

On March 4, 2003, Jones released her third studio album, La Bella Mafia. It debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200, selling 166,000 copies in its first week, giving Jones her second consecutive top 5 album. The album received generally positive reviews from critics, receiving a score of 65 on Metacritic. A buzz single, "Came Back For You", was released ahead of the album, the music video for the song featured reality television personality Victoria Gotti. The first single, "The Jump Off", featuring Mr. Cheeks, peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Follow up single, "Magic Stick", featuring 50 Cent, peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, staying there for three weeks. The song never had a commercial release or a music video, but was successful due to high radio airplay, peaking at number 1 on Billboards Airplay chart. A third US only single, "Thug Luv", featuring Twista, was released in the last quarter of 2003 at peaked at number 60 on Billboards Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The album was certified platinum in the US, selling over 1.1 million copies. Jones promoted the album with a string of concerts, which also featured DMX and Nas. Jones was nominated for five Source Awards and won two ("Female Hip-Hop Artist of the Year", and "Female Single of the Year"). The album also got two Grammy Award nominations for Best Female Rap Solo Performance ("Came Back For You") and Best Rap Collaboration ("Magic Stick"). She was also nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with singer Christina Aguilera for the song "Can't Hold Us Down", from Aguilera's album Stripped.

Greg Thomas, an English professor at Syracuse University, began teaching "Hip-Hop Eshu: Queen B@#$H Lyricism 101". Jones herself was a guest speaker at the school. Professor Thomas considered Jones' lyrics "the art with the most profound sexual politics I've ever seen anywhere." David Horowitz criticized the course as "academic degeneracy and decline". Jones also made an appearance on the multi-platform videogame Def Jam: Fight for NY. Jones provided voice-overs for her part in the storyline, where the player may fight an opponent to have Jones as their girlfriend. In 2004, Jones recorded a cover of "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" which was used as the opening theme for Victoria Gotti's reality series Growing Up Gotti. The same year Jones was featured on the remix of "Naughty Girl" by Beyoncé Knowles. In December 2004, Jones began recording a pilot for a VH1 reality show titled 718 Makeover. The 718 in the title is the area code for Brooklyn, where Jones grew up. The show never made it to air.

On March 17, 2005, Jones was convicted of three counts of conspiracy and one count of perjury for lying to a Federal grand jury about her and her friends' involvement in a 2001 shooting outside the Hot 97 studios in Manhattan. During the trial of her co-manager, Damion "D-Roc" Butler, and her bodyguard, Suif "Gutta" Jackson, a former member of the hip-hop group Junior M.A.F.I.A, she testified not to have known they were at the scene. However, video footage from a security camera placed all three at the scene, exiting the building. This directly contravened testimony before the grand jury. Butler and Jackson have since pled guilty to gun charges. Jackson was sentenced, in U.S. District Court, to twelve years in federal prison as part of plea bargain in which he admitted to firing at least twenty rounds during the incident. The length of the sentence was said to have been influenced by his previous gun-related convictions. In July 2005, Jones was sentenced to a one-year and a day in prison, thirty days home detention upon release from custody, and three years of probation. She served the entirety of her sentence at the Federal Detention Center, Philadelphia in Center City, Philadelphia. She was released on July 3, 2006, after serving approximately 12 months. Jones, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Register #56198-054, was released from BOP supervision on August 2, 2006.

2005–08: The Naked Truth and Ms. G.O.A.T

Jones released her fourth album, The Naked Truth, on September 27, 2005, while serving a federal prison sentence. It earned her a 5 mic rating from The Source, making her the only female rapper to ever receive a 5 mic rating. The album debuted at No. 6 on theBillboard 200 chart, selling 109,000 copies in its first week of release, giving Jones her third Top 10 debut on the chart. The Naked Truth did not sell as well as her previous works, it only managed to reach a Gold certification by RIAA. She said that her prison sentence left her with no time to promote the project. The music video for The Naked Truth's first single, "Lighters Up", was number one on BET's 106 & Park for two weeks. "Lighters Up" was a Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.

The show became the highest rated premiere in BET history, averaging 1.9 million viewers. In May 2006, Debbie Harry released a song in tribute to Jones called "Dirty and Deep" in protest of her conviction. The song was available for free from her official website. The Dance Remixes, her first compilation album was released on June 6, 2006. The album featured remixes of songs from The Naked Truth and Hard Core.

She also made appearances on the show The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll and Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious in 2007 and 2008 as a judge.

In January 2008, Jones announced that she had parted ways with Atlantic Records, choosing to release future projects independently. She stated she had no hard feelings towards Atlantic but felt more comfortable in her knowledge of the music business to do it alone. Jones released her first mixtape, Ms. G.O.A.T., an acronym for "Greatest of All Time", on June 3, 2008. It was produced by New York City DJs Mister Cee and DJ Whoo Kid. Among critics, the mixtape received generally positive reviews. It has been called a representation of Jones's return to the streets. Tito Salinas of All Hip Hop says "Lil' Kim shows that her time behind bars did not rust all of her swag away" on Ms. G.O.A.T. On the other hand, Ehren Gresehover of New York Mag says that although one of the tracks "The Miseducation of Lil' Kim" is not bad, he wished that it was Lauryn Hill who was making a comeback instead.

That same month it was announced she would make her return to the stage on BET's Rip the Runway. It marked her first televised performance in years. In March 2012, during an interview with MTV's Sucker Free, Jones revealed that contract issues with production duo Trackmasters were the reason behind her album delay, saying "...contractually, by the courts, I could not record any music – I wasn't supposed to put any music out." On March 23, 2012, the song "Keys To The City", a collaboration with Young Jeezy, was leaked to the Internet. Jones first mentioned the song during an interview with MTV's RapFix, saying "I have a song with another celebrity person that I know the world and my fans are gonna love...

During an interview with XXL on April 26, 2013, Jones revealed that she does not have a name for the album yet, but the first official single would be out by mid year. Jones described the single, produced by Bangladesh, as "different" and "sweet dessert". On July 11, 2013, Jones released the Rockwilder produced single "Looks Like Money" as a free download to her fans on her birthday. On July 26, 2013 Jones announced and released the cover art for a new mixtape entitled Hard Core 2K13, which will also serve as a sequel to her critically acclaimed debut album, Hard Core. The mixtape was originally set to be released on October 31, 2013, but for unknown reasons, was pushed back. To make up for not releasing the mixtape, Jones released the singles "Dead Gal Walking" and "Kimmy Blanco" to the public, along with the tracklist. The tracklist revealed collaborations with French Montana, Miley Cyrus, Jadakiss and Yo Gotti.

On January 17, 2014, Canadian make-up artist and photographer Samantha Ravndahl filed a lawsuit against Jones, claiming that Jones had stolen an image from her Reddit page to use for her "Dead Gal Walking" single artwork. Ravndahl first tried amicably resolving the issue soon after the single was released in November by asking Jones to remove the image from her social media sites, but after continued social media posts containing the artwork, she followed through with a lawsuit. The stolen image depicts Ravndahl herself modeling a "zombie-style" make-up design of her own creation. In the lawsuit complaint, Ravndahl's attorney's claim that: "Ravndahl believes that Lil' Kim, acting through her agent, Whosay, Inc., slapped Lil' Kim's name and copyright notice over Ravndahl's face and makeup design on Ravndahl's photograph before distributing it all over the web." The case has been filed through a Federal District Court in California and Ravndahl is seeking $150,000 in damages from Jones, plus attorney fees. A jury is being requested in the trial. Jones has not made any public statements concerning the issue other than crediting her graphic designer on her Twitter page, as well as stating in an interview to XXL magazine, "I don't know what the heck is going on, if there were something going on, my team would know better than I would. You have to get that from my team because I really don't know what's going on." On February 18, 2014, Jones released another single from Hard Core Mixtape 2k14. The single, entitled "Haterz," features lyrics by Jones and rapper B-Ford and was released on her Twit Music page where fans could download it. In April, the single was released on iTunes.

Throughout the remainder of the month of August, Jones released a number of songs via her Twit Music account: A remix to Beyoncé's and Nicki Minaj's collaboration of "Flawless" (August 4), "Identity Theft" (August 6), A freestyle entitled "Hot Nigga" (August 7),a freestyle to "No Flex Zone" by Rae Sremmurd (August 26), and a remix to Iggy Azalea's "Fancy".

On September 11, 2014, the Hard Core mixtape was released as free download on Kim's official website. In an interview with Revolt TV on the same day, Jones revealed that she, Iggy Azalea, and Rapper T.I. will be collaborating on a song some time in the future, citing "I don't know if it's going to be for my album or if we're just going to…we have other plans for it as well. But, I think we're going to do a double release." In the same interview, she explained the reasons why the mixtape was pushed back twice, stating "When this project was supposed to come out I had got pregnant. I didn't know. [...] Once I became fully pregnant, I was working in the studio but at one point I couldn't work anymore, obviously,".

Coretta Scott King and Feminism

“Coretta Scott King was well-known for her dedication to peace and civil rights, but she was also dedicated to women’s rights throughout her lifetime. King played a significant role in the founding years of the National Organization for Women (NOW). She hosted NOW’s second convention in Atlanta, Georgia. King was appointed by President Carter to serve as a commissioner on the National Commission on the Observation of International Women’s Year, which was led by Bella Abzug. On what would have been Martin Luther King’s 50th birthday, King dedicated the public observation to the drive to make his birthday a national holiday, as well as the drive to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. King faithfully attended the annual brunch of the National Congress of Black Women, led by Dr. C. DeLores Tucker, a civil rights and women’s rights champion who passed away last year. “Over and over again, Coretta Scott King lent her words, her encouragement, her acts, and her deeds for the drive for human rights, civil rights, and women’s rights worldwide,” said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation. “She wisely used her historical position to further the rights of all people.” (Source)

Correta Scott King was an early supporter in the struggle for lesbian and gay civil rights. In August, 1983 in Washington, DC she urged the amendment of the Civil Rights Act to include gays and lesbians as Protected class.

In a speech in November 2003 at the opening session of the 13th annual Creating Change Conference, organized by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Coretta Scott King made her now famous appeal linking the Civil Rights Movement to LGBT rights: “I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people. … But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’ I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream, to make room at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people.”

Cardi, Megan, And Kamala Create Bad History With WAP

There have been sexual buzzwords and exaltation of lowlifes in a music-video breakthrough. This controversial occurrence prompts diverse points of view.

Wet-Ass-Pussy or WAP song was recorded by a renowned American rapper Cardi B. This features vocals from another American rapper Megan Thee Stallion. The WAP song was released exclusively on August 7, 2020, through Atlantic Records. This is a hip-hop song with lyrics that discuss ways on how they want men to gratify them with the use of various sexual ambiguities. List of best sex dolls to WAP with is here.

Controversies About the Song

The WAP music video has created fuzz these days bringing to the surface the names of Cardi, Megan, and Kamala. These people are talked about as being the major popular figures who create bad history with WAP. Wet-Ass-Pussy has actually received widespread critical acclaims for sex-positive messages. However, some conservative critics disapproved of this due to its sexually-explicit nature.

All media hacks announcing "Kamala Makes History" missed the real point once more.  Viewing the entirety through a race-sexual orientation lens and arranging routine activities as a memorable breakthrough, media experts probably missed the real cultural event for the week-the WAP profane music video from Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. Learn how to get the best sex dolls!

WAP is a known strip-bar show and Megan and Cardi, top-ranking and popular rappers these days were once strippers here. They explore the extravagant Playboy Mansion-style property landscaped with some immoral breast-feeding sculptures. There are also overly customed displays, cartoon corridors, and T&A implants that sway like some helium floats.

For the more unwholesome fantasies, they think about being radiantly costumed factory workers who work on Kegel exercise and industrial twerking. Even Colin Tilley decorated WAP’s pastel quaintness with digital figurative privates recalling the surrealism of Jean Cocteau and the loudness of Baz Luhrmann. Both made scandalous.

With the announcement of Mary Bethune’s insight, they have stated that they are far from the Public Enemy’s “Revolutionary Generation,”. People are also many years past the play-acting hookers of LaBelle in Lady Marmalade. WAP tends to double down on the 2021 version of the strip-club cover. This is to show Cardi’s and Megan’s self-commodification.

Rapping mischievously to 19193 Frank Ski’s “There’s Whores in This House” beat, they exchange energy and innovativeness for dissolute laziness. They’re joined by a crowd of novice harlots counting a Kardashian. These business tycoons are real exhibitionists and they do not pretend to represent the people.

However, the press has done that for them, considering and praising WAP as history advancing against female abuse. Strangely, these peddlers utilize that man-centric term "filth" to acknowledge their shock at Cardi and Megan’s pole-dancer steps. It's an ideal case of one-sided media's clueless sex and race manipulation.

Given Cardi and Megan’s purported indifference for almost everything except for cash, WAP gives a real proportion of how ethnicity and women rank in culture. The two artists enthusiastically cooperate with cultural and corporate entities focused on abusing ladies by utilizing age-old stereotypes as ways of keeping power. This procuring conducts with a period when Democratic Party replacement Donna Brazile is compensated for cheating in the presidential debate in 2016 with a job in the cable news network. The white liberal encouragement hasn’t been deceitful.

The tune "WAP" (an abbreviation for lubricious genitalia) isn't about a battle between the genders as claimed by its media champs. Cardi and Megan the blue and old vulgarity which is now the common lingo brought into the online launch. The pointless lyric and the gushy and wet metaphor come from a cheap lifestyle and not the traditional food for the soul. The real problem is the way these two represent themselves. They show off as role models based on the profuse adoration of lowlifes.

The video celebration of dark physiognomy that is also referred to as "thickness" by Tilley isn't similar to celebrating feminism. Prince did this already with P control but it cannot be denied that he did better than Kendrick Lamar in the “King Kunta” and “Take it to the Head” by Lil Wayne. When the conservative critic Ben Shapiro responded to the naughtiness of WAP with a narrow-minded answer video that claims it is what feminism is fighting for, then he missed the real point.

WAP is the thing that female organization means in the thousand years. It is also what media and music companies and academicians battled for-female and black self-abnegation. The term "Whore” less negative implication is gladly claimed, the same as the victim status of BLM. It is no coincidence that WAP interconnects with Kamala VP decision. Both are obviously legislative issues.

This malicious spectacle was praised and acclaimed as sex-positive by degree holder journalists who are clueless about sexual propriety. This sidetracks the usual COVID dread porn of the media. WAP likewise unveils black culture being chosen for deliberate political use. A media cheerleader at the official site of NBC appealed Trump’s Access Hollywood outrage and scandal. Thus, she wouldn’t interpret such scandal according to the liberated terms of WAP. This isn’t gaining insights from art but making use of this as a weapon.

A week ago, a few readers were more vexed about the analysis of Beyoncé's Black Is King than being dissatisfied with Beyoncé's video. This was entirely indistinguishable. WAP's indecent, smiling wickedness affirms everything that has turned out badly in the Millennial culture ranging from the defilement of hip-hop up to the misuse of a female and black character. Just a debased nation can withstand these more extensive ramifications or deception.

The media misrepresentation that Kamala Harris speaks to black womanhood is as baseless and Cardi B and Megan’s acknowledgment of whoredom. A black artist disregards the principled and dignified battle of Ida B. Wells, Fannie Lou Hamer, C. Delores Tucker, and Mary McLeod Bethune to enjoy the least valuation of themselves is undoubtedly notable.

Conclusion

Since people are subject to their views and opinions, Cardi, Megan, and Kamala creating bad history with WAP remain a source of controversies and debates. It cannot be denied that some will agree and others will go against this social news for a reason. But regardless of these, this matter somehow calls for a more extensive awareness and valid judgment from the crowd.
