Run by my friend Darwin Grosse -- there is a Detroit connection --
I went to Jack The Nation in Chicago with Darwin, Stewart  Tracy Walker,
and Mike Dvorkin, and saw DJ Rolando and Traxx.  That was the party
that got shut down because someone bust a pipe in the bathroom, and all
the power cabling for the PA was under 3 inches of water...

I stood watching Traxx next to Kelli Hand, and lit her cigs for her,
completely star struck.  Aux 88 was supposed to play but bailed for
one reason or another.

 Let's be frank: the truth is that sexism is not deemed as offensive
 cuturally as racism, accuse a racist of racism and he will get defensive,
 accuse a male of sexism and it's laughed off. I always wondered about that.

 Let me get this straight---are you equating all males to sexists?  That's
 outright prejudice.

No, of course not. That's not what I said.
I actually prefer - and really love - male company. Maybe I should have put
a 'sexist male'.



 I guess it's ironic Andrew - a male - picked this up. ;)

 I see the sarcasm in the statement, but please try to see how offensive
 these comments could be to some of us.

It was playful! Hence the ;) I thought it was funny that a male had more of
a problem with the lyrics than say me a female.

I'm sorry if I insulted any males but, let's be fair, that's probably
indicative of what I'm saying.
Women are not actually allowed to talk about sexism without bing silenced.
I personally do not mind so much, and that's selffish on my part to other
women. I feel I've established myself, and most of my most valued friends
and colleagues are males, and we deal on equal terms, though not without
working extremely hard work on my part. But on a wider level women are still
very much disadvantaged in every area. Their primary function is still as
sex objects and reproductive vessels. I became one of the boys, so it's all
good to me. That's the trick I found!

I think that may be part of the new urban feminism that arose with Lil' Kim
and co building on Madonna's brand of feminism. Things are internalised and
subverted.
Trad feminists had real issues when Madonna first came out and there has
always been disquiet surrounding Kim, who acknowledged Madonna as an
inspiration.
Trina's song was written by Missy, so that's Missy's humour.
I don't have much time for trad feminism and feminist academia as I believe
they need to address the total lack of gender loyalty among (educated)
women. I'm for equality for all, which I just explained in response to Ian's
post.
And, for the record, Missy has denied being a feminist, calling herself
instead a humanist.
I am sure Lester has some good points on all this, he's 313's resident
political scientist and always puts forward sensible arguments. ;)


 lets also point out that for all the misogynism in hip hop,
 while to some degree it might be looked over from a female perspective of
 those who like that music... there is also an arguably reciprical aspect
 going on in hip hop and rb.

 i.e. to some degree there's a two way street, mutually exploitive aspect,
 like as far as lyrics by women to women a long the lines of girlfriend get
 that cash or get them keys.

 I dunno - I guess a good example would be Trina's No Panties.
 of course, many might point out that this sort of thing is
 self-exploitive but then, in a big picture sense I think misogyny is too.

I think it was dream hampton who wrote about how women - especially women of
colour - listen and appreciate gangsta rap styles and somehow listen
'beyond' what could be construed as misogynism.

cuturally as racism, accuse a racist of racism and he will get defensive,

You'd think *anything* that holds back a human should be abhored. I am
philosophical about it. It is what it is. We women deal with it.
I didn't even pick up on the 'sexism' in OutKast myself. I think there is a
story line there.
What concerns me more is how women do not support each other.

 ***don't get me wrong, i'm still listening to outkast;
 coincidentally, my fiance's favorite song on the double

 a live remix of hey ya/i like the way you move admist
 some of my own electro.  i'm not hatin' on outkast.  i
 wasn't singling out any lyrics in hey ya, i was just
 talking about outkast's lyrics in general--outkast came
 up on the list and the lyric thing has always been
 something i've been aware of when listening to them so
 i mentioned it (i still remember a negative bit that
 was said about lesbians in a song they did in the past
 that featured erykah badu; people would say to me hey,
 i'm digging that new outkast song with erkyah badu and
 i'd be saying yes, the music is great, but i wish they
 didn't have that line in there about lesbians.  i
 can't even remember the song, but negative things like
 that stick with me.  i could say nothing, but i say
 something because it bothers me.  i don't see a need
 for heterosexual men to talk about lesbians at all, let
 alone negatively.  i know my lesbian friends don't
 appreciate lyrics like that).  anyway, what jumps out
 at me on first thought is the song on the new album
 whose last 2 minutes riffs on bitch...crazy bitch.
 as you said, i can just not listen to it.  i listen to
 it, just cringe a bit when that bit comes on and let it
 keep playing.  (my fiance, however, skips that song
 when she plays the album on her own; she says, damn, i
 can understand he's mad, but why does he have to say
 'bitch' so much in this song? the point was made 20
 'bitches' ago!  i agree with her)  different strokes
 for different folks, i suppose; i realize we all have
 different reactions to what is said in lyrics.  as i
 said below, i like outkast, i just wish they were more
 positive lyrically about women and sexuality, that's
 all. (not meaning to drag this thread on and on, just
 wanted to clarify what i had said--pardon the
 pun--below) :) that's all from me on outkast's lyrics,
 i promise :)

 It comes in many flavors -- straight up women-hating, parody of straight
 up women-hating, ironic, comic, critique of misogyny -- and it comes down
 to who's saying it, why they're saying it, and whether it reinforces negative
 attitudes in listeners.

 Whether Andres and Big Boy are women-haters or not? Dunno. Can you separate
 their personal attitudes from the characters they seek to portray in their
 songs? Are they holding up the character for critique, or are they actually
 expressing misogyny? Are they thoughtlessly incorporating the language of
 hip hop misogyny into their work without considering it's implications?

 And there's a thing in hip hop where the goal is to say the most outrageous
 thing you can and see if you get away with it. Like a phrase from Rampage
 I heard him drop Thursday night: I'm gonna beat you down worse than Oprah
 in 'The Color Purple' -- is that misogynistic, or just a battle rhyme?

 I think that it's easy to condemn stuff in hip-hop for being politically
 incorrect,  and difficult to actually decode the message.  If you like an
 artist's work in general it's easy to temporize to justify their less savory
 pronouncements.

 And those of us who are among the white audience of a primarily black
 art form, without the full context of the gender issues in African-American
 Culture, it's arrogant and possibly racist to make any sweeping statement.

perhaps their approach is to just put out music that they know has a

I understand what you're saying Kentand to a certain extent I agree.

BUT the extreme is keeping it real right?  In order to talk about X you
have to be able to experience X.  I don't think I should have to take meth
to say meth has bad consequences.

When I think about these issues this is what I try to keep in mind.

*As African Americans live in the American context, it is important that
we keep in mind the impact that larger processes that impact ALL Americans
influence them.

So here we're talking about the commodification of women largely for the
purpose of profit that has the added benefit of keeping women
subjugated.  This dynamic isn't unique to African Americans, but is part
and parcel of the larger American culture.  Take a look at a Victoria
Secret ad that 25 years ago could've never made it to the screen.

*While popular music is considered to be the raw undiluted voice of the
young (and in hip-hop's case the black young), popular music is SOLD AND
MARKETED.

Chuck D. said that rap is black America's CNN.  He's both right and wrong.
Rap is not news.  It is entertainment.  Rap isn't an undiluted image of
what is really going on in black communities whether they be working
class, or blueblood.  But in as much as CNN's news is itself highly
packaged and marketed, rap too has been niched in order to sell product.

I'm working on a book about youth and politics in American cities, and I'm
including a substantive section on pop culture (hiphop).  Thinking about
this in depth I'm realizing that it just isn't possible to refer to hiphop
as an artform without taking the political economy of it into
consideration.

There is a REASON why my students know that 50 Cent has been shot nine
times.  And it has nothing to do with truth telling.

*While African Americans are indeed Americans, they also serve as
America's Other.

In the past, miners used canaries as an early warning system.  The gases
the miners had the most to fear were both odorless and invisible.  The
only way they would know whether the gas was present was by the behavior
of the canary.  When the canary keeled over...the miners broke camp.

Black people (and other people of color) serve as America's canary.
The fault lines in the American project usually become most visible in
these communities.  But rather than taking the troubles of black people
and using them to predict, contain, and cure problems of the wider
community, a very different route is taken.  These troubles are used to
sell black product for the culture mill, and at the same time are used
to further justify black exclusion.

Just trying to keep these three ideas (blacks are american, blacks are the
other, pop music is an economic product) in my head simultaneously is a
difficult feat.  but suffice it to say that because of these dynamics I'm
willing to bet that the following assertions hold true about misogyny in
hiphop:

1.  Misogyny in hip-hop is a hyperextension rather than an accurate
reflection of misogyny in black life.

2.  Misogyny in hip-hop may be more pervasive than misogyny in
rock...depending on how we are measuring it.

3.  The social ills impacting black men in America are beginning to impact
their white counterparts.  So in as much as #2 holds true, I don't expect
it to hold true for long.

Absolutely right, in one sense, but then that's their role, innit? It's
great that someone has been able to leverage that power and do whatever they
want with it, as Peacefrog has been doing for the last 9 years or so. I
don't think it should be their job to introduce new artists. If they get
them, that's great, but why f*ck with the formula if it works? There is no
shortage of labels pushing new artists. If anything there's an overload. And
it seems to me that people generally ignore Peacefrog's new artists these
days whenever they introduce them. How many people bought that Pimordial
Evolution album? Or Jello? How many people are going to rush to buy the
Marco Pazzarani album when it comes out? That should be obvious by
name/stature, but I'd be surprised if it clears the shelves. The Charles
Webster album is quite an anomoly in the sense that it's their biggest
selling album ever, but in my mind that's more of a sylistic difference than
marketing.

for more fad gadget, my favourite was always 'back to nature'. but haven't
heard it for years-might be more rock than electronic. twas a sad day that
