This video is a must see......FallOut Boy does video with meaning and thought
FOB did their thing with this video here and I just had to give them a shout out about how important this issue is that they are talking about.
On the other hand people we need to be looking at what our brothers and sisters ae putting out there for our children to view and us as well. See I don't have a problem with the music making people dance and all of that. Thats fine but you know when one video after another is degrading women and we dont say anything or our videos are about eluding the police with rolex watches and the music sucks and we have alleged pedophiles singing alongside them and we are talking about a freaky girl where youre rocking valuable cars on your mama's front lawn that are worth more than the house itself while you get some brain in the front seat of the Hummer, I think I need to start asking some questions about what we are doing as a people to our people and FOR our people?
Im curious I just wanna know. See I was going through some videos thinking about what liked or didn't and this video came about. Here is what is sad. I don't see these hip hop leaders doing it like this. I don't see us speaking out and saying you know what we stand for this cause or that, go here and help us support that.
No we are telling our sons to bling and screw our girls without committment and we are telling our daughters to get weaves and look like sex vixens twenty four seven and have no thought no dreams or aspirations just be there when he wants you. I mean thats what the video is saying. Come on now!
Have you seen JaRules new video? Bodies every where. I was like what in the world! sigh.....
Why when I see a new video by a black artist I pretty much know where it is going. Beach, thongs, stilletos some weave, fake bling, rented cars, fake Cristal and the rapper and his crew. How creative is that? Wow.
So look this might give some of these video producers something to think about. Give us more credit than that. Make us think, make us act, make us make changes. If you have young girls believing the crap in the videos what would happen if you put a twist on it put her clothes back on and did a video with an artist that was just that....art.
Check out this video show your support for our brothers and sisters in the mother land in between our blinging and the obsession to bling.
ps this is the ONLY video I have EVER cried over EVER......it moved me..... shouldnt they all? (or do they already and in what way?
Til next time
