"Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich/ I didn't think hard about using the word bitch/ I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it/ Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it/No man will degrade her, or call her name. I'm so focused on your future, the degradation has passed. I wish you wealth, health and insight. Forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel."
That was a poem Jay-Z wrote for his unfortunate daughter. Already humiliated the world over and she isn't a month old yet.
I don't know what Jay-Z is talking about.
I don't see how he degraded WOMEN -woman, sure, but WOMEN? I don't believe calling a woman a female dog is so terrible, or a ho. People are people, some good, some bad. Does Jay-Z really believe by changing his victualer, at the age of 42 mind, he is in effect, addressing sexism. If he stopped using the word "nigga" would he be addressing racism. or does he hope that by removing one of those words, his daughter will be insulted solely over sex and not race. And if he can protect her from himself, if he chooses to protect her from society won't he just kill her through weakening her immune deficiencies?
When the Beastie Boys denied their history, they bumrushed their best songs and gained NOTHING AT ALL. When Prince did the same thing, he lost Dirty Mind but gained Planet .Earth.
Now it is Jay-Z's turn. And if he gives up, nigga, bitch and ho, he might as well stop singing any more of his great albums. They are gone.
Perhaps he can replace some words.
Instead of Bitch -Butch. Ho – Har Har and Nigga – McNuggts. "Ain't no Mcnuggets like the one I got, no one can fuck me better…" It works, right?
I lost serious interest in Jigga post Fade To Black. The retirement might have been a game but it came back to haunt him, and Carter hasn't been the same since. He is just lucky that his replacement, Kanye West, worships him and he is just lucky that nobody else can figure out how to dethrone him.
But they will.
Till then: hey Butch, I'm your supersized McNuggets…
