Friday. 4.6.07 5:36 am
Angela and Vanessa Simmons, launched their new shoe line called Pastry in Atlanta at the Underground station where the shoes will be sold. The shoes will also include lip gloss that smells the like shoe's name. I might have to get these shoes because they do look nice, but plus their priced at an reasonable price which is $64.99. That ain't bad right.
Check out some of the pics from the Atlanta Meet & Greet:

As always, I must begin by thanking everyone who faithfully reads these entries. However, I would like to inform you that this will be the first of my last three blogs. I'm starting work on my new album which should be due mid-Spring 2007 entitled EL CHE. Your encouragement, comments, suggestions and sometimes overly-exaggerated critiques have all played a part in helping me grow as an artist, as well as a human being.
Today's blog is called What a Woman Wants (SHAKE THAT ASS, BITCH!).
I recently completed a concert tour which spanned from L.A. to Santa Barbara to San Francisco. Because of my fondness for the West Coast countryside landscape, I encouraged my team to drop our expensive plane tickets, rent a van and do it the old-school, Rock & Roll way: you know, hop your ass in the van and hit the road. Because of our limited CD selection, I wanted to save the good ones (Kingdom Come, Doctor's Advocate & The Blue Carpet Treatment) for when the local radio transmissions ended and the cell phone calls dropped. So, I always opt to listen to commercial radio first, especially when I'm in different regions of the country. It's one of my personal ways of monitoring what the constant trends are across the spectrum of Hip-Hop.
As I turned the dial to the first station, I heard a giggly female voice request the E-40 and T-Pain song "U and Dat." If you're not familiar, this is the song where T-Pain and E-40 try their best to convince a girl that they want to get her and that monkey (whatever you interpret that monkey as being). As the seductive, bass-pounding groove progressed, a feminine voice added to the chorus concerning that mysterious "monkey," suggesting that if these two men captured the monkey, they wouldn't know what to do with it or how to handle it. As the radio announcer returned, he exclaimed "Ooh Wee! That song was for all of the chicks with them phat monkeys!" As the next song punched in, it was Fergie from The Black-Eyed Peas with her single "London Bridge", where in some of her lyrics she says:
"I'm such a lady but I'm dancing like a ho Because you know what, I don't give a fuck So here we go!"
These two songs [back-to-back] coupled with the fervor of women who continued to call into the station and praise the DJ for playing "they shit" sent me spiraling into one of my deep, analytical thoughts. IMPORTANT NOTE: this blog is not intended to criticize those songs. In fact, on my debut album BLUE COLLAR, I have a song relaying a similar sentiment called "Stick." What is even more interesting is that at least 85% of the women I encounter along my travels are quick to tell me that "Stick" was their favorite song on my album. Mind you, this is a song where I say "I put my dick all around your mouth like lip gloss," suggesting that this is the reason why the girl should 'put it on my stick' (whatever you interpret the "stick" as being LOL!). Today's blog is more of a question. I would like to know your opinions on why it seems that women as a whole [on one hand] criticize rappers with misogynistic attitudes and lyrics but never question their own taste in music?
These are the facts: commercial radio is mostly driven by its female listenership (ages 12-25). It is suggested to us that they [women] request the majority of the music that is played (i.e. especially music with sexually explicit lyrics). This is also evident every time I go to the club and a song like David Banner's "Play"comes on. Women's asses seem to start moving involuntarily, even though he's blatantly telling the girl he wants to see her 'get that pussy wet.' (See below). David Banner also admitted to this song being his biggest hit next to his song with Lil' Flip entitled "Like a Pimp."
It's starting to seem like the rappers are not doing anything wrong; they are simply supplying the demand made by scores of women of all races, ages and backgrounds. It seems as though, because of this demand, there are not many alternative songs with similar grooves minus the sexually explicit lyrics. I repeat: I ain't hating. I'm just asking, Why?
