Butta On...If The Children Are The Future
Then we are so screwed, Black America. I present to you Exhibits A & B:

Last night I watched 106th & Park on BET so that I could catch the new Janet Jackson video on the widescreen. I'd already seen it online but hoped that perhaps it would be better on a bigger screen. It wasn't, but for some nutso reason I didn't change the channel once the bootleg TRL went off and was caught totally out there by Access Granted and the utter niggatry of Soulja Boy and the making of his video for his latest coon carol "Yahhh". I sat in my living room in total disbelief at what I was subjecting myself to. It woulda been hilarious if it wasn't so effing sad. The ignance and idiodicy was much too much to bear, but I stuck it out in order to see the disasterpiece video at the end. After watching it I was reminded why I watch VH1 Soul. Normally I wouldn't subject everyone to this wackery, but I suffered through it, so it's only fair that y'all do, too.


Throw some D's on his report card? Wow. Just wow. And parents, just so you know, the lyrics of the unedited version of this song say "Yahhh, bitch! Yahhh!" and "Get out my face, ho." So if you ever hear your kids singing this song please check them right then and there. Before I have to.

Speaking of parents, where are the parents who threw this sweet sixteen party so that I can beat them Ike Turner style? When I first started watching this madness I thought it was some sort of hoodtastic stripper show. Then halfway through the clip a title came on the screen saying that it was a sweet sixteen. Swing low sweet chariot and carry me home.


Between the bacchanalian booty shaking and funk-nastiness of this video I am spent. And this is just one video of hundreds of thousands if not millions, folks. Perform the most random keyword searches on YouTube and countless underage young black girls can be seen bending over, stooping down, making it clap or otherwise dropping it like it's hot to a beat in barely there clothing. It's so not cute and there's no question that it is sad and pathetic.

Seeing stuff like this makes me glad that I don't have children. However, I do have young cousins and children of friends in my life and seeing crap like the above examples on my television and on the internet makes my blood boil. I'm so disgusted that I don't know what to do. Seriously.

Something told me not to press play for the Soulja Boy video, but I did it any way. I just lost a few brain cells in the process.

yo...

You said "coon carol".

wow.

It's our fault though.

Grown ass old enough to be Soulja Boy's parents, well-dressed folks with degrees and jobs stay up in the club singing these songs.

I'm going to be playing at one of those parties tomorrow night. I'm sure this joint will get multiple requests.
