Click Here for How Hip-Hop Holds Blacks Back by John H. McWhorter

"Rap also began to offer some of the most icily misogynistic music human history has ever known. Here's Schooly D again:

Tell you now, brother, this ain't no joke,
She got me to the crib, she laid me on the bed,
I fucked her from my toes to the top of my head.
I finally realized the girl was a whore,
Gave her ten dollars, she asked me for some more.


Jay-Z's 'Is That Yo Bitch?' mines similar themes:

I don't love 'em, I fuck 'em.
I don't chase 'em, I duck 'em.
I replace 'em with another one. . . .
She be all on my dick.


Or, as N.W.A. (an abbreviation of 'Niggers with Attitude') tersely sums up the hip-hop worldview: 'Life ain't nothin' but bitches and money.'"
