I love music–just about all kinds of it—rock,rap,jazz,r&B,punk rock,rock ‘n roll—even a little country—plus I’m always been interested in how music is made,the technological advances in it, and I’ve always been and still am very interested in how artists (male or female) approach their creative processes and what inspires them into making music in the first place. Also I’ve always liked hip-hop,not just because I wanted to shake my ass to it, but also because back in the way,it always had somehting to say about society and black folks’ place in it and how we should stick together and help each other–that’s a thing of the past now. I’ve also been collecting records for years, mainly because I was into the music of a particular srtist–I’ve never wasted my money buying some make artist’s record,casette or CD because he was cute–that’s for teenage girls–I’m a grown woman in my ’30′s–but because I had a criteria for buying cassette/CDs: if the artist had at 3 out of 5 songs on the radio that I really liked,then I would buy it. I also have listened to alternative music on public radio stations for years, and consistently heard a lot of great/weird/hard-to-catagorized music that’s virtually unheard on the mainstream radio stations—some of which I can’t stand because they play the same shit over & over. So,once again your streotypes about women & music are blown somewhat.

W8 til Tara Henley reads this. Man, is she gonna open a can of whoop-ass on U. Soon nuff, the rest of the female audience will follow.

As the saying goes, “hell hath no fury like a woman’s fury.”

Also, your article isn’t supporting the whole “woman aren’t smarter than men” idea that you’re putting out. Try to have an unbiased article next time, alright?

As a woman, I was extremely offended by this article. I, for one, love music. I used to also enjoy hip-hop a lot, that is, until I found how much it degrades women. You wonder why there are no female readers? Go over and read your acticle again.

Not every woman is the same. Do not place a stereotype based on a few that you know personally. All it does is show your lack of knowledge. It doesn’t help that you’re receiving feedback like this, “You really runing out of stuff to talk about this was so boring to read”.

Go ahead and continue to post sexist posts on this site, but I can assure you that it will not gain you any popularity. This world is changing, and if you can’t accept that (along with other changes) then you are going to be left behind.

Use your brain next time you write something. Thank you.

WOW, YOU ARE AN IDIOT. Not only that, but you are also a SEXIST PIG. WOMEN ARE JUST AS SMART IF NOT SMARTER THAN MEN. I FREAKING LOVE MUSIC and COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT IT. I think that you need to set your mind straight (a woman will probably do that for you, but with your luck you won’t be lucky enought to have a woman who loves you or will even look at you). WELL HAVE A FREAKING LONESOME SUMMER! ADIOS.

I can’t bring myself – to listen to Hip Hop music – I hate it – I hate what it does to black women. I can’t help but wonder why any black woman would want to listen to a man who isn’t educated, more than like has a felony, a suspended license, 4 kids by 4 different women and doesn’t love him self disrepect her. Not sure – Help me understand.

As a woman, I can say that I absolutely love music, when it is not calling me a bitch or a hoe or referring to some random violent act directed towards me. The state of commercialized hip hop is extremely misogynistic and sexist, and why the hell would I want to participate in any of that?

I am not a hip hop basher, I enjoy songs that have a great beat and arent completely degrading in any fashion. But I can not accept nor support something that basically sells my body like a cheap piece of clothing to support some man receiving a chain or some rims or whatever.

Black women have been used as sexual toys since the beginning of slavery, when white colonialists traveled to Africa and captured African women with big booties. They went so far as to collect them as freak shows and parade them around Europe for all the whites to see.

This is what music is doing to women. And I wish to not be a part of it.

Of course, women play a role in this just as much as men do. But what’s worse- the desperate mother trying to feed her children, or the man who is in control of what she does in order to make that money? I guarantee if men in the industry did not exploit women in the way that they do, women would not be forced to do the things that they do.

So, this is why I do not “listen” to music.

The only hip hop concert I’ve been to where over 25 percent of the audience was female was atmosphere…

All the chicks at my work get WICKED pissed when I turn the radio to the saturday night hip hop show. Every single one of them also likes James Blunt. Except one asian girl who doesn’t talk and has an obsession with nu-metal.

Shit was funny Bol, though I dont think music blog readership is too representitive of people who like to listen to music. More like people who care about music news/gossip…

Actually,I think it’s IS safe to say that most women wouldn’t waste there time reading music blogs which are for the most part, some random unqualified persons personal opinion about music (but more frequently about the bullshit going on in the music industry an not so much the actual music).
However, not reading music blogs and not enjoying music are two totally different subjects and once again you are grasping at straws to shock people into readership. To bad you can’t use this tactic with women and shock them into fellatio!

*Also I cannot remember the last time I read your blog and it was about music, real hip-hop, as opposed to teenage bickering or industry gossip or your puffed up ego(none of which anyone needs to enjoy music) so I hope you do not include yourself in the “music blogs” category. Yes Bol, I would say you are in a category all your own.
