I am officially announcing in 2009 that the video model/stripper is Hip-Hop’s “5th Element!” Move over MC, DJ, graffiti artist, and break-dancer! It’s recognition time!

I’m sick of it! I’m sick and fucking tired of the disrespect to black women within hip-hop! I’m especially pissed at the way video models and strippers are portrayed! This ain’t no diatribe about sexual exploitation of women either!

There is nary a music video out that doesn’t have one of our very bodacious sistas strutting her stuff, which allows these rappers to sell their music. (If their music sucks, we might as well be ocularly entertained, right? Is that a word? “Ocularly.” Charge it to my Ebonics!) But then we wanna label them “video hoes”—while we’re eye-fucking them! We are voyeurs of their work, yet we criticize their profession! Y’all already know I’m “Ya gay friend’s favorite straight friend,” but these straight cats are some of the gayest dudes (including this radio jock!) (Yes homo!) Negroes are actually mad and repulsed at the female anatomy!

As much as we might hate on the “Buffie The Bodies” of the world, we need them! If for nothing more than to make ourselves feel better about whom we are not. Like Toni Morrison’s character Sula, the “perceived” town whore, we need Buffie The Body so that our lives have greater meaning!

Shout-out to Hip-hop’s Hottentot Venuses—Buffie The Body, Angel Lola, Ice La Fox, Cherokee, CoCo, Deelishis, Pinky and all of you fine young ladies who are sexually liberated!

YO DONT EVEN WASTE YA TIME GOIN TO THIS NIGGA SITE, THAT SHIT WACK AS FUCK. FUCK GULLEE BOY-”UR SHIT IS GARBAGE KID, PUT WHERE DA GARBAGE IS”
