The women and the cavier

Anyone who says that Ludacris is more of a objectifying misogynist than the Beach Boys is clearly out of their mind.

I say this mostly because I'm disappointed.  Disappointed in the fact that there are still people who are around my age that are so closed minded that they can't accept hip-hop as a legitimate form of music.  Arguments include "they don't play real instruments," "they only sing about bitches and money," and "you can't spell CRAP without RAP LOLOLOL." 

While all of these arguments made by assnecks in Drowning Pool shirts and JNCO jeans are obviously well informed and articulate, I can't help but get completely pissed off when hearing some of this.  The point that irks me in particular is the idea that "they only sing about bitches and money."  Not only is this completely assbackwards (much like their chromosome order), but it's completely ignorant of the fact that rock bands sing about similar shit all the time.  

Sure, a lot of mainstream rap songs focus on objectifying women and what not (take your pick from pretty much anything that my sister listens to), but look at one of the most popular songs of 2006-2007--"Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry.  Now, I'm not advocating that fucking Buckcherry should qualify as a prime example of talented music that still objectifies women (much the opposite, I find Buckcherry's success disturbing and appalling on an entirely superior level), but no one can really deny the fact that this was one of the most ridiculously popular songs of the past few years.  And not for nothing, a huge chunk of the fanbase included the same idiots who act all pseudo-offended by mainstream hip hop and bitches and hoes and tricks and what not.  

But even the fucking BEACH BOYS objectified women.  A group who is considered one of the most musically innovative of all time (mostly for Pet Sounds, but still), and they wrote some songs about bitches, hoes, and cars (not necessarily with that wording).  I mean, "Girls on the Beach" is about creepishly staring at girls tanning.  "Little Duece Coup" is about how bitchin' Brian Wilson's fucking car was.  "I Get Around" was literally about driving said car around, looking for new places to be awesome at picking up girls.  Sound familiar enough to "Pimpin' All Over the World?"
