You do know that most of the women in the rap vids and parties are hired ... I ain't sayin' there aren't some fine women who like hip hop, but reality ain't like the vids ...
I'm completely dating myself, but I loved the rap of the 80s. It was about finding and expressing commonality, about having fun with friends, about being goofy, and having a good drink in hand. I still vividly remember the lyrics and the way I and my crazy ass friends danced to the music. Good times!
