“YouthAIDS created hip public service announcements for TV and radio using popular local and international celebrities and athletes and was participating in the MTV World AIDS Day ‘Staying Alive’ concerts,” she wrote. “Along with other performers, YouthAIDS was supported by rap and hip-hop artists like Snoop Dogg and P. Diddy to spread the message...um, who? Those names were a red flag. As far as I’m concerned, most rap and hip-hop music—with its rape culture and insanely abusive lyrics and depictions of girls and women as ‘hos’—is the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny.”
*This is very interesting how actress/author Ashley Judd is blasting Snoop an Diddy about lyrics in their music. I think she needs to bring it down a notch and think about what she's saying and doing. Maybe if she would chat it up with them, she would find that it's not as bad as she's making it out to be. I get the fact that rap music talks about women being this and that and the other. I also get that, it's all an act and a way to make the music sound interesting. Instead of judging these men, she may need to talk them more and see how they can work together to set a good example. At the end of the day, she's not doing anyone justice by going on national TV and talking smack she knows nothing about.*
