Its the 11 to 14 year olds who's minds are getting fucked up.
This music has been around awhile (sex, drugs, violence) but now it isnt niche its mainstream.
Spending the 90's watching "party rap/hip hop" all day long and getting maybe 1 hour a day of NWA telling me to "Fuck the Police" was AMAZING...
Now...fucking NWA would play the Teen Choice Awards and MC Ren would get slimed.

B-b-but she has a fake ass.....
Honestly we as adults should all be smart enough to know
1. There will always be the next "worse ever"
2. This will only help nicki's career because kids love stuff their parents hate
3. That video was tame as hell compared to stuff just about anyone can find by typing a word or two into google.

Yeah...Anaconda takes it too far.
Never really understood the fascination with her ass. It is fake. Fake. FAKE. FAAAAKE! This is undeniable, I really don't know how anyone can say otherwise, just look it up.
your theory is fake.
Just look at these pictures as proof. Not too much there but as she eventually leans forward from left to right you see what she's got going on.

Hahahaha. Yeah sure. Maybe you're idea of what a kind can do and enjoy is pretty narrow.

Let's ban Google. It's too easy to type "what is salad tossing" into a search box and get dirty instructions for how to do sin on somebody's no-no zone.

Starting a small business, not enough kids these days have that work ethic.

True, we are on the verge of an e.coli epidemic. Won't someone think of the children??
Meh, oversexualization in the media can be problem though.It doesn't necessarily mean its shameful.
True, but the two wrongs and rights thing.
Seriously though I think - and this may just be me not knowing enough about the current mainstream rap/hip-hip industry - is there seems to be a lack of 'conscious' or 'political' or just non-sexual female mainstream artists to balance out all the over-sexualized ones.
Like before you had Lil Kim and Foxy Brown to a lesser extent someone like Aaliyah and whoever but you also also Queen Latifah, TLC, Erykah Badu, Missy Elliot, blah blah. Like what mainstream female hip-hip artists are the equivalent to those people today to counter Nicki Minaj or Rhiana or Iggy Izalea or whoever?

I mean why not? Somebody needs to think of the Children! Won't somebody think of the Children!
She is doing some impressive stunts to encourage black women. See her album cover and her response to the outrage. She's not naive to a lot of the negativity thrown her way for obvious reasons.
In addition to this article being sensationalist, worthless tripe, let's talk about the inherent sexism:
Nicki getting singled out for mentioning drug use et al while her male peers throw more revolting filth on the regular and the public tries to peddle that as ART. This is nearly always done under the guise of but think of the children; despite the fact that, anyone that has gone through schooling will tell you that, little boys (and girls) listen to male artists spewing shit as well. Why does Nicki, or any female peer trying to assert control over their sexuality, get singled out as having some moral responsibility towards the youth of the world?
Get a fucking grip.

Stupid post.
What if I think both her and her male counterparts suck?

As a Middle School teacher, I can say that these lyrics have a major effect on what kids think is cool. Really, the people who pretend pop culture has no effect on children need to open their eyes.

The way I see it, parents can raise mentally resilient people who can choose how to respond to what the world presents them, or they can raise naive individuals who remain children their whole lives, molded by every stray influence that lodges itself in their heads.
You can't fix the world by sanitizing popular media, but you can teach kids how to think for themselves. If Nicki Minaj's juicy rump is enough to drive a kid to promiscuity and drug abuse, their parents failed them.
Pop culture certainly influences kids. It's part of a parent's job to make sure pop culture isn't the primary influence on their children's values.
Did I hit a sensitive spot? Not a lot of black women in power, yet alone singers in hollywood. With her status, she could be sending out a better message instead of shaking her ass 24/7 like the clown that she is.

Queen latifah non sexual? she's arguably an lgbt symbol.
I wanted to fuck every girl in TLC. They had plenty of shots in skimpy clothing. Here's an example (NSFW)
Half of missy elliott's biggest songs are about fucking. Get Your Freak on?
Erykah Badu is 'notorious' for boning her way around the rap game, more so than arguably any other female personality. and has actually gone full nude for a video.
What a dumb post, divorced from reality and facts.
tastes like a penny
Are you comparing the level of sexuality of any of those people, lyrically or visually, to the artists I mentioned? lmao that TLC attempt.
Anyway geez calm down go nut to nicki ass shaking gifs it's not a big deal just asking. I apologize you're right queen latifah is just as sexual as nicki minaj.
Left out Lauren Hill and still didn't provide a modern mainstream female artist to answer my question.
I agree with you. But that's either that's easier to say than do, or there are a lot more terrible/clueless parents than I thought.

Or people could stop acting like every black artist is suppose to be the modern day MLK for the black community.
i don't know, i'm not the one wringing my hands behind a computer screen about a bunch of music videos
A u mad gif? B..burn.
Also since you can't just answer the question I guess that answered it for me.

Who gives a fuck?
And fuck the National Review, of course they're trashing a black artist.

Yes, we seem to be going from one extreme to the other. In the 1980s, model skinny was in fashion, such that women with thicker bodies were belittled or looked down upon; now we seem to have swung to the other end of the pendulum.
She's one act in a genre known for illicit subject matter. Women who sleep with men in exchange for goods and status have existed for ages, a pop song isn't going to skew things one way or another.
Sex is power. Always has been, always will be. I don't really see anything wrong with a woman choosing to use it to her advantage.

I mean, the whole thrust of it is i don't agree with your pearl clutching worldview where sex is wrong and something to be kept tightly under wraps, so it's not a concern to me
you stay pressed though

You should listen to more TLC songs. They're definitely not a wholesome group; they make songs that can be uplifting...but they have also made plenty of songs talking about the correct way to fuck a girl, how they need dudes that are 10 inches or bigger and can lick it from the back (one of my favorite songs by them ironically lol).
Same shit different decade, in 20 years some new artist will come out with some sexually charged shit and this conversation will be had again.
Meanwhile Christina Aguilera tellin dudes they need to rub her the right way and she can make their dreams cum true and no one bats an eye.
RIP Left Eye ;_;7
Anyway you're right and I'm not saying nothing a decade ago was sexual, I'm just wondering what female rap / hip-hop artist is currently mainstream and more focussed on or at least doing things in the 'uplifting' space since I don't know of any. Who is the counter to all of the sex?
TLC was talented though
. Nah, I heard people complain that her performance was raunchy, but had nothing to say about last year when I swear Lady Gaga was wearing a thong.Extra Sauce

Whoring yourself out for a cocaine dealer is not the same thing as craving a crack lick.
Incidentally craving a crack lick is the name of my upcoming autobiography.
Perhaps if more should the community would be in a better place.
