All cultures are equal.
Geez, and here I am, old enough to remember when “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood was considered “obscene” by the BBC.
Cardi-B’s song and video make “Relax” look quaint and only vaguely/harmlessly naughty by comparison.
“And the music video attracted more than 120 million YouTube views...”
Most of those views were probably preadolescent boys doing what preadolescent boys do at that age. “WAP” passes for what preadolescent boys used to do with Dad’s Playboy magazine while hiding under the bed cover with a flashlight.
I DJ'd at the radio station (WVGS - The Voice Of GA Southern), and they had a subscription to Melody Maker, out of the U.K. MUCH more interesting.
And nobody even knows who Casey Kasem was anymore.
This one will probably get yanked as well.
Better to bury our heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist while exclaiming, "What's a Cardi B?"
I happened to have read that thread, and then the lyrics.
Xaviera Hollander was classy by comparison.
How much of my tax money goes to people who spend it on this stuff?
Sounds like the artistic version of Kamala Harris making her way up the ladder.
Nothing in history is new but in the past song writers at least made an attempt at cleverness. This song is just the modern overhyped version of “Da Doo Run Run” by the Crystals from 1956. “The more things change...”
Wasn’t Cardi B that hard-hitting investigative reporter that Joe Biden chose to do his first interview after popping his head out of the basement last week?
I’ve seen the explicit version of the “WAP” video.
It’s not a “celebration of female sexuality”, it’s more of a modern day minstrel-show.

In what sense is this “music”?
It is vile dis-civilization.
Or its simply promoting them to be low IQ whores who will be used for their sex.
I continue to be amazed how far some in society can go claiming black is white, down is up, wet is dry, evil is good - and get away with it.
It should be left up for all to see. It was brutal for Time Warner when Charleton Heston attended a stockholders meeting and simply read the lyrics to Cop Killer our loud to a packed room, and let them know they were selling that as a product.
Leave it up and dont listen to the babies who want it hidden and removed from the site.
Like either of these girls would use “tuition” (from the song).
Know their lyrics? I dont even know who they are!
