Well, your piece is full of typical prejudices, ignorance and racism:

1. “… their God (or genetically) given gift”?
   This is such a stereotype you are describing, like all people of African descent are good at sports and music?
2. “Anyway, they used to sing beautifully to their women…”
   What the hell? Where? On the cotton fields? All of them? ’Cause the black man sings so well? And he can do so because of his race? And now massabuana is disappointed because the negro does as he pleases?
3. “…which took an ugly turn in the thriving hip hop (which can hardly be called singing)”.
   Rap music started in the late 70s, the B2M song you mentioned is from 94. Hip Hop was already in full effect and gangsta rap beyond its zenith. You are right when you say “which can hardly be called singing”. That’s why it is called rapping.
4. “…where the women came out as trash, to say the least.”
    And again with the prejudice. You clearly never had anything to do with hip hop. I guess you are talking about lyrics that can be found in one of hip hop’s many subgenres called gangsta rap. Admittedly, a lot of lyrics seem rude, hard and very direct in this genre, but they are not only aimed at women, but the fucked up world in general. Some basic studies would show you that this is just a very small part of rap lyrics. And if you dug a little deeper, you would probably understand the significance and social commentary behind many gangsta rap songs and the thereto belonging social context. Also, you completely ignore the fact that this is just a small fraction in the rap universe. For every gangsta rap song with rude lyrics, there are at least 5 rap songs with more positive content.

This is nothing against you personally or your taste in music. I really hope your article just came out wrong. I just cannot stand ignorance and comments that clearly show that the commentator does not know anything about what she/he is talking/writing about. Peace.
