Coon Sh-- That I Am Over
Monday - January 14, 2008

Before I begin, let me explain to those who might criticize my verbiage what coon shit is. Coon shit is the shit that Black people indulge in that perpetuates the stereotypes that are placed on people of color. It may make us look foolish or clown like. At any rate, it is in no capacity strengthening the Black community. It's quite the opposite actually.
I'm sure there is much more that I haven't covered. However these are some of the main points that I am completely sickened by and tired of seeing in rap, and mainstream Black television.
1. White Tees: If I see one more man dressed in a white tee, I am going to violently throw up on him. I don't mind a man who wears fresh jeans, fresh shoes, etc., and then he throws on a simple white tee to top it off. Right? My problem develops when they wear white tees every day. Everyday! Sorry no female wants to see her man in some sh-- that resembles a night gown every day. This nigga got on a 3X and he 125 pounds. What the hell! Especially when we as females, are expected to meet the status quo of the video ho.
2. Naked Bitches On Cars: I once heard Alicia Keys make a comment that she is tired of seeing women half dressed washing cars in videos. I immediately got excited. So it's not just me! Others are becoming bored with that same concept in every damn video. Can we please have somebody to think outside the box? Shout out to Kanye for that.
3. Unrealistic Video Bitches: News Flash! A lot of rappers aren't that handsome (examples: Hurricane Chris, he looks like a Garbage Pale Kid; Rick Ross, he looks like Papa Smurf; Gucci Man, he is just... very ugly). So when I see these negroes in the video with women hanging all over them, damn near massaging their feet, I'm thinking "Yeah okay." Let's see how his baby momma before the fame looks. I saw Luda's BM and she was cute. Then again, so is Luda. Makes sense right? What makes matters worse is that I'm the chick that gets to interview these ugly dudes. Moving along...
4. Black People In Chicken Commericials: Niggas singing and dancing in chicken commercials. Have you noticed that in the Popeye's and KFC commercials all of the Black people are dancing and singing? There is nothing about chicken that excites me enough to make me want to break out in a jig. Chicken never made me that happy.
5. Making It Rain: I'm sick of niggas making it rain in videos with that monopoly money, especially if you are very new to the rap game and you're not coming from the dope game. There is no way that you are making it rain. You don't have the funds. I don't believe you. Maybe you can make a slight drizzle at this point in your career.
6. Songs About Clothes: I am happy to see a man that dresses well, however I do not need it to define him. In other words, there is no reason why there should be an entire song about your Red Monkey Jeans or colorful shoes. If your rhymes are that weak and that is all you have to flow about then you need not rap.
7. Bragging About All The Women You Sleep With: I hate songs where the lyrics are about how many women you have, what you do to them, what sexual pleasures they do for you, and how they can be replaced or are disposable. Negro please. First off, if you look like a monkey child, geranimal, sea monkey, etc., then I do not believe you! If you are pulling chicks like that then you probably are coming out of pocket quite often. Please refer to number 3 for more information in regards to this matter.
These are just some of my thoughts based upon my experiences as a young Black urban woman. I write about what I know. Just my thoughts.
