Black music videos

Must…fight…getting…song…in…HEAD!!

Aw fuck it.

Fellas, YEAH? fellas, YEAH? Does yo girlfriend got the butt? HELL YEAH! So shake, shake it, shake that healthy butt!

Baby got BACK!
DAMMIT!!

Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got
Me so horny
Ooh, rub all of that smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz
Well use me, use me cuz you ain’t that average groupy

A thousand curses on you.

My anaconda don’t want none if you ain’t got buns, hon.

Dude. The Azure Convertible with leopard skin upholstery, chainlink steering wheel, and shiny 25"chromes. Benzes are SO last month.

Seriously, one wonders what the marketing meetings at Bentley are like these days.

“Guys, we need to discuss our image. We’ve sold 45 Azures to date in 2003. Of those, 40 were sold to scary looking guys wearing track suits and shiny jewelry. 20 were outfitted with the unexpectedly popular lowrider pack, and 15 had a pool installed in the back. Our #1 leather colour is leopard print, and chainlink steering wheels outsell the standard springbok leather ones 3 to 1. The other day, QE2 walked into our London showroom, and said she wouldn’t be caught dead in “that pimpmobile”. Now, put down those pipes, roll up those tweed sleeves, and get to work, dammit!”

Ladies and gentlemen… Might I offer you…

Enjoy. :slight_smile:

I wish it was like it was back in the '80s when all the women had big hair and rolled around on the hood of I-Rocs.

Here I go again on my own!

da da da da da

Down the only road I’ve ever known!

As a prisoner I was born to walk alone…

Those were Jaguars, man. A green and a white one. And Coverdale, in tight leather pants.

I have to go hurl now.

And it’s “As a drifter I was born to walk alone”, right?

Not as much about the hoes and pimps angle, but I’ve noticed the new trend in rap videos is to make it like a pseudo Feature Film. There’s some little dialogue at the beginning, and then,
BAD BOY RECORDS PRESENTS
P. DIDDY in
A VIDEO

I guess it’s a way for rappers to stroke their egos a little bit, seeing their name in big letters on the screen.

You know, I laugh–haha-- whenever I see threads like this. The “Isn’t it scary/funny/stupid when black people do this” type threads.But they really make me both a little sad and a little angry.

You wanna know how “black men” act in videos? The way a white guy would if he thought it would sell more CDs.

Here’s a list–
Why do black people talk the way they do? Because that’s the way they talk. Same reason white people talk the way they do.

Why do black people dress/comb their hair/walk the way they do? Because that’s the way they do it. Same reason white people do.

Why do black people fail/commit crimes/default on loans they way they do? For the same reason every other motherfucker on this goddamn planet do the things they do.
What The Everloving Fuck? Are you so stupid you cannot figure out why in the hell there are pimps and ho’s in some black videos? Have you put your head in a vice and made your mind so narrow that you can’t see any of the other video made by multitudes of black people that don’t have pimps and ho’s?

Ohh Ohhh, I know! I know! Blacks are a bunch of oversexualized “others” that can’t enjoy MTV unless pimps and ho’s are involved! That’s the answer to the OP!

I like to count how many times they grab their crotch. If you watch closely, even the girls do it. :slight_smile:

To think you make a post that long whenever someone mentions something about blacks, you must have very tired fingers!

You haven’t seen the Black Eyed Peas videos? Andre’s Hey Ya?

So what if there’s a contingent of womenising videos of black artists? I guess you didn’t see Warrant, Guns n Roses or Poison back in the '80s?

It isn’t a “rap video” mostly what you describe are hip hop and r&b, so stop saying rap video damnit or ill… tell my mom or something.

LOL, Heck, I LIKE that song. It used to save me from endless repetitions of “Born to Be Wild” on the jukebox, when I used to bartend.

Wednesday nights, the women’s dart team for the restaurant at which I bartended. Lite beers, ice tea, and Steppenwolf.

Um, yeah ladies, you’re all “bad” alright. (snort).

After about the third Wednesday I waited until about 5 minutes before the dart team was due for practice and I loaded the Jukebox with every hiphop and 80s pop song I could find.

Including several repetitions of 'Baby Got Back". I repeated this exercise with my own money, until about the third time they came in and the juke box was loaded.

When they asked what happened, I just shrugged innocently and told them that a group of college kids came in and then left just before they arrived.

I’ve been fond of that song (for having saved me from 15 repetitions of “Born to Be Wild” a night) ever since.

MTV, et. al. are the only outlets for music videos to be shown on a wide scale.

MTV, et. al. market heavily to teenagers.

Teenagers are horny.

Ergo, those who make music videos are well-advised to make “sexy” videos because, of course, it sells.

Believe it or not this has relatively little to do with melanin content.

By the way, that Big Boi video rules (and white people need to stop going so crazy over “Hey Ya,” Jesus).

If you’re actually concerned about this “issue,” I suggest you look into conscious rap (although a lot of that is more or less the hip-hop equivalent of new age music: emasculated and soft).

It’s not only my fingers that get tired.

Last time I checked no one had to be in a music video.
