Metal Lungies

Once again, MTV Jams has angered me.
Usually, when I’m actively watching, I switch the channel whenever I see a Rick Ross video, but this time I let it roll and play the single “Here I Am”. After seeing it, I was truly outraged. Not just because its a bad song, but it’s an entire song about paying a woman to stay with you.

Let’s examine the hook:

I got a bunch of dollars
I can spend them on her
Cause she can be my lady,
She can be my lover
Call me on the late night,
Get right he ain’t acting right
Every super woman needs a super man
Here I am

That was bad, but when we here it from Ross himself:

He tell the truth baby like Fabolous
But you make it look glamorous
Here’s spaghetti strapped heals not for amateurs
Risk quite rocky, talk like foxy, job like roxy,
Spark that broccoli walk quite aky
*that means* sexy I will save you if you let me.
Fly with me, get high as me
*alot of* alphabet girl I’m a G
Time will tell, Rolex watches
We show stoppas, hoes just watchin

I bet he will “save her”. Be her “Superman.” He sounds more like Captain Save-A-Hoe to me. This dude talks about being a “boss”, being a “g.” But what part of the game is this!!!! Don’t make a damn song about your girl and talk about how all you do is spoil her!!! I could maybe understand if he talked about how she was with him when he was poor, a la “Song Cry“, but this dude doesn’t even mention that.

Now, you may say “I’m not paying for hoes, let Ross do him” or “Rappers do songs like this all the time.” NO!! Kids listen to this shit and I don’t want them to think this kind of behavior is okay!!

You know what a prostitute calls a man who pays her for sex, a Trick. Do you want your kids to be like Trick Ross?

Discourage Legal Prostitution!!!
