Outside the late eighties hiphop group, 2LIVE Crew, the most derogatory, debased and dehumanizing remarks ever made to the woman folk on recorded songs in man’s history was done by Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. aka Snoop Doggy Dog. World famous lines like ‘all women are b*tches’ are to his credit.
The Kings of gangster rap that consummated the union between violence and music, way before 2pac, was a group called Niggaz With Attitude. The most vocal of this bunch and the 1 actually crowned father of Gangsta rap was O’Shea Jackson, Sr aka Ice Cube.
A senior friend of mine whose sense of machismo and tales of manly home control inspired a lot of my friends into being replicas of Okonkwo of Things Fall Apart in handling female partners, commanded no little respect.
In small and global scales, these 3 attracted both admiration and apostles to their philosophies. Carrying millions along.
Now the back story of the 3
1) In reality Snoop Dog has been married to Shante Taylor since 1997 till date. Described as probably Hollywood’s most caring husband with one of its longest running marriages. His 1st cousin Brandy Norwood hopes her hubby treats her like cousin Snoop treats Shante.
2) Ice Cube has no criminal record. Knows nothing about using guns as 9ice has more street credibility than he does. Role model father of 4 with a head well screwed in for business and peace. In a docu-series, the real gangstas of Compton warned him to stop parading himself as one of them.
3) My big friend’s wife turned out to be an in-law’s good friend. She confided in her that one of the cutest things about her hubby (our king kong) was how he cries when they have a heated argument.
Oya now. Who inspires you? Friend? Office Boss? Pastor? Have you seen the back end of their value system? Are you certain they live by the creed they profess? Can you please set your eyes on the need or otherwise for you of what they preach and not just get fascinated on how cool they seem to look doing it?
Grown men have been known to wear perms on their heads and speak in a certain fashion just because it looks cool on a preacher man (just a trivial example that underscores how easily we can emulate fellowmen). Be careful for it does get graver and almost anyone of us can fall victim of blind discipleship of men who perpetrate deceit.
