In a piece called \u201cThe Goddess & the Corruption of Love<\/a>\u201c, I mentioned Hip Hop<\/em> to illustrate a point. In hindsight, after reflecting on Comments<\/a> on the Conciliar Press<\/a> site, my point may have been better made without the word HipHop<\/em>. It was superfluous. A distraction.<\/p>\n

I was hoping that a connection would develop between Goddess worship and orgies, which, historically, have been kin (as in various fertility cults).<\/p>\n

Needless to say, I\u2019m not a fan of the HipHop, Rap, Thug culture\/industry. I\u2019ll spare you my musical tastes, past history<\/a> and pedigree. (I\u2019ve seen Kiss, Prince, and Willie Nelson multiple times \u2014 once, all in the same year.) Suffice it to say that, musically, I\u2019ve been around. When it comes to the current pop music culture, I agree with Stanley Crouch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I once talked my parents into allowing me to buy an 8-Track tape of the Funkadelics. This was played in the family car, speakers in the back, parents in the front. To this day I thank God that they couldn\u2019t understand the words. I was, what, 13? I knew what George Clinton and crew were saying (at least in part), but probably not what they meant. At least P-Funk knew nuance.<\/p>\n

Much of what streams through today\u2019s mainstream radio would make a Funkadelic blush.<\/p>\n

The fact that some in the Black Community are fed up with the genre is music to my ears<\/a>. <\/p>\n

You may have seen them as you flipped through the channels past BET, MTV or VH1 \u2014 music videos with scantily clad, young African-American women, wildly gyrating while fully dressed rappers spew lyrics referring to them in demeaning terms.<\/p>\n

The problem is, your children can see them, too.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s enough to make a mother cry foul.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt is so pervasive that young black women who are looking to contemporary black hip-hop to find a sense of who they are would virtually only see women as sex objects,\u201d says Rose.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt some point, we have to say enough is enough.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
