As a young individual that participates thouroughly in the Hip Hop culture and one that is very familiar with the "slang" of the day I have a couple of comments that I would like to make.
Although I personally may not agree with every lyric or the mentality of every rapper, I have to say that it's really unfortunate that individuals that do not even have a basic grasp of the Hip Hop culture take it upon themselves to dissect and critize it.Also it is very easy to mistake the meaning of a statement when you select only the pieces that affirm your opinion, and do not allow people to see the whole picture.
Contrary to popular belief a "bitch" and a "hoe" are not terms restricted to the female gender. It is extremely popular in our generation to refer to a man as a bitch or a hoe.The term can even refer to a physical location as he did several times in the song. For example "Soulja Boy up in this hoe", where I honestly dont think he was discussing being inside of a woman or masturbating.That is unless Soulja Boy did an interview where he specifically stated that the lyric was about that.
In conclusion I would like to reiterate Dick Gregory "if it does not apply to you, you should not be offended." It's time for adults and individuals to take personal responsibilty. It is not Soulja Boy's responsibility to install values into children. That starts at home. I dont care how many times I hear the word bitch, hoe, skank, or chickenhead I know that that is not me, and I dont care.
