Bump ^^^ because there's some great music in this thread and for the cable deprived the embedded videos are very very cool.


Thanks Ming and Thighz and Lady S!

Thanks, ma! Here are a few other Hip-Hop great expressions of affection and portrayal women.

MING! No you didn't hit me with the Dead Prez Mind Sex!!!! That's my song. Ming I fear if we should ever meet the turntables will never stop spinning until they explode causing a large and very embarrassing conflagration.Surely when the fireman arrives I will still be jammin .:dance:


Thanks!!!

EDIT: I quoted a verse from the song Talib and Mary J did together (Try) on the acknowlegements page of my thesis. White folks were mystified!

LOL @paradoxical statements in this thread.

As long as they are women who will get naked or half-naked for money.Music videos will always protray women like that.

This song and video is great example of how I think women should be portrayed.

"The Light" By Common

My favorite part of the song is when he says, " I'd never call my bitch or even my boo, so much in a name, and so much more to you. . ."

I love that. And I love how at the end he puts the cover over her an watches her sleep.. .Beautiful.

Cutie you and Ming are really making my Sunday background music a pleasure. Do you know the lyrics to this song were published in an anthology of poetry?. There was Langston Hughes,Keats, and then out of nowhere Common. It was a very pleasant surprise to see him recognized as a lyricist beside some of the "giants" of literary poetry.

WOW. . I did not know that. That is really amazing. What is the name of the anthology?

Let me look it up for you! I didn't buy it because I'm on a book diet. I'm sure its on my amazon wishlist with about 50 other things!:)
 
The same way they were portrayed back in the 80's with the likes of New Edition, Lionel Richie, etc. Even Rick James didn't have women in thongs ass shaking all the time in his vids.

CO-SIGN... i'm tired of seein girls shakin they asses half naked in these videos. how bout something sexy but tasteful... they can wear a cute dress or somethin in that line

I prefer the live version, but there's no video for that. This was THE song for me and the boo.

True and that was not so long ago... If we put our women and ourselves down then the job is even easer when they do...
BTW… Not feeling that cut… Same with some friends (in the biz), wifey & kids (13 & 15) so make sure that your video sell the shit out of that cut…
Stay up!
:cool:

The women aren't forced to participate.
 
It's been said a million times that you ladies don't like the disrespectful way you're portrayed in most music videos, but it's rarely ever expressed how you want to be portrayed instead. :dunno:

I'm set to start shooting a new video soon for a very sensual track and would like to know (straight from the source)... How do you really want to see yourself portrayed? Thanks in advance, ladies!

BTW: This is the song I'm shooting the video for http://www.zshare.net/audio/5110823e9dd748/

I think ya got ya answer bruh.....

:cool:

Super G if you take me any further back I'm going to have to break out my door knocker earrings!:lol:
I haven't heard those songs in goodness knows how long. Thanks!

Lady S! See I'm not up on my reggae so this is educational and fun. I need to get with Ari and the posting tute.


Chicutie and Ming

Name of the book I think is:
" Love Poetry Out Loud"
by Robert Alden Rubin

Warning, the book cover is terrible, but there was a lot of good poetry in there. I'm pretty sure that was the one with Common, but maybe browse it at the Borders to be certain.
