Please don’t throw the rest of us under the bus for that dude. I will agree that there is a lot of out-of-place bitch calling in hip hop and the world. And, sometimes if you listen to the context, most of it comes from youth. When your a young dude not from a well-to-do background, star athlete or hood famous dope boy, you don’t really have a lot of options as far as dating. You don’t have a ride, if you do, it ain’t nothing fancy. Talking to females out the passager side of your best friends ride is better than attempting to do it from the bus stop. Your staying with Moms, grandparents, cousins, etc. You are not established in any real way that would attract a worthy female at the same stage. The majority of your action will come from hood rats, most taking on all comers. Getting too involved with them, leads to heart break or worst of all, child support (hood rats life blood). Thus, “Bitches ain’t shit”. But, as you grow, you learn (if you knew better, you’d do better). I just wanted to give a little bit of human element to the discussion. As for Mr. Wale, cue Ice-T, “Some of you niggas is bitches, too”.

You love hip hop but it hates you. It’s killing your or it’s threatening to kill you but still you love it. You think that’s a good thing. It seems pretty obvious that some of the young women who actively participate in this kind of culture and regularly listen to abusive music may indeed want to die. And judging by this article, a lot of them may get their wish.

Sista, while reading your eloquent and entertaining essay, what stuck out most is that, in your obvious intelligence; you missed the opportunity to educate. You said in your narrative that ” Furiously he demanded an explanation for the tweet, yelling, “So if I tweeted that I’m amazed at how men like you wouldn’t be upset?”

I tried to brush him off telling him to “Leave it alone and lemme enjoy the show!” Still he was bothered, yelling over the music, “You tryna dis me?!”

Frustrated with the topic and his accusatory tone I yelled back sarcastically, “Yes Ok Yes I was trying to dis you. You happy now? Leave me alone!” With that, I have to say that, although; this was one of those “heat of the moment” things but, as the more learned of the two parties, I would think that you would have taken the opportunity to diffuse the situation by EDUCATING the brotha on what it was you actually meant. I understand that in the culture of hip hop, not much credit is given to being a diplomat but, in this case; diplomacy would have been more effective than sarcasm. It is unfortunate that rap has made a habit of objectifying the very entity that makes it possible for it to exist….for without you there is no us, but, at some point; someone has to take the high road or we all will wind up under the bus. I am deeply saddened to hear that another one of our artists has chosen to be less than artistic in his approach to social issues but, alas; we have to find a way to rise above it. Stay up sis.

I live in DC, too, and a lot of people love Wale. I’m not crazy about him and I know plenty of people who aren’t, but he also gets TONS OF LOVE here too.
