    Lightbulb What's The Deal...

    ...with all of these new Rap/R&B songs about dating a stripper? Have any of you guys noticed this trend? Is having a stripper girlfriend the new "In" thing nowadays? I swear, there's a new song that comes out about it like every friggin' week.

    The latest and newest one I've heard.

    "Sexy Can I" - by... some dude.

    Here's the part of the song.


    Sexy can I, visit you at work

    When you sliding down the pole,
    no panties, no shirt.
    Then you climb back up the pole,
    then you drop and do the splits.
    How you make that booty talk,
    Baby damn, you is the shit
    (Oh,oh,oh) Now look shawty, look shawty.
    I make it rain in the club like (Oh,oh,oh)
    (I don't know what your man is like but baby all I want to know is...)
    Sexy can I

    ...Just sayin'...

    I'm guessing it's just another slang term for 'girlfriend' or 'baby.'

    Right, it's been bugging me too, I even asked what the hell the 'word' was supposed to mean here a while back, but no one answered.

    It has to mean 'girl' or 'girl I'm fucking', or 'girl I want to fuck', because it sure doesn't mean 'woman I respect'. Though it beats 'bitch' all to hell as a slang term for the same thing.

    It is inherently sexist all the same. A 'shawty' is someone you look down upon, you know what I mean?

    Whenever I play a song at work that uses the word, which is almost every rap song about a woman they want to fuck, it's annoying just that little bit in the back of my head if there's time to think about it (usually there's no time at all).

    I was shopping today and 'Sexy Can I' was playing in the store. I actually asked out loud why the hell everybody wants to rap/sing/whatever about dating/fucking strippers lately. It's annoying because for some reason the people that watch the videos to those songs think they should act that way in a strip club. My job is not a fucking video on MTV.

    To so many of these guys women are trophies, another way to assure everyone how cool/manly/studly they are. Strippers are the ultimate trophy women. The more the women are compliant and submissive, the more manly the singer/guy bragging/guy wishing he was the stud in the video/douchebag can feel he is.

    What's funny is, I tend to like shorter women, yet I find the word 'shawty' offensive. There's so many other words that would be so much better to describe a hot woman than fucking 'shawty'. It positively screams ignorance, though of course it clearly beats out 'bitch'.

    True, just like all men can be assholes, at one time or another. But there's nothing remotely sexy to me about a woman deliberately being a bitch. Maybe if a guy is a masochist he might like it, I could never understand that mentality though.

    For a guy to call women bitches, thinking it makes him more of a man somehow, is being a fucking asshole in my book. Of course there are men who feel this is the way to go, and it seems to work well for some of them. Such men are weak, in my book--I don't care how much it gets them laid or admired by their friends/fans.

    LOL. I definitely hear you on that one, Ginger. I remember the last time they played "I'm in Love With a Stripper" in my club. All the guys started hooping and hollaring like a bunch of fucking banshees... raising their hands up in the air and such. I was on my 2nd stage at the time, and of course they expected us to bust our asses even harder on stage to give them an even better show for their buck.

    I guess I don't mind if they play these songs in the club, because I guess it works for us. It just particularly irks me when I hear these songs outside of the club all the damn time. The idea has certainly seemed to have gone 'mainstream.' I also remember when all the 'cool hits' in the '90's were about dating supermodels, LOL.

    I would guess it's a case of copy cats trying to capitalize on what has already proven to become successful. Take the movie industry for instance when it was nothing but sequel after sequel for a while. How everyone is jumping on the comic/retro movie bandwagon. Or on TV with networks focusing more on reality TV instead of sitcoms.

    In the case of using strippers as the subject of choice in hip-hop songs in recent years, it's much the same case. You have T-Pain shooting up to stardom with a (terrible IMO) song about strippers and you have all these other wannabe upstarts trying to make a name for themselves using the same formula.

    As far as Shorty/shawty goes... I believe it's just the current slang word for significant other (or person of expressed interest)... 'Boo' is so last week.

    LOL! Right!? I remember when it took me forever to figure that 'word' out.

    Yeah, I think that's a lot of it--didn't Wyclef start it with the equally nauseating '(FUCK, I forget the name of that stupid song about strippers)'? I thought he sucked when that's all I had heard by him.

    You must be talking about Wyclef Jean - Perfect Gentleman. Far from his best work.

    Yeah, that's one of those songs I physically cannot play--I mean my body shuts down as my fingers extend towards the 'Play' button.

    i don't mind songs about strippers if they encourage spending money and not expecting the girl to have sex with you. don't come across many of those songs.

    one of the reasons i don't hate wyclef's.

    but yeah, the songs aren't usually about dating a stripper. "dating" maybe. if you'd call screwing in the mens room, dance room, or at the motel 6 after work a "date".
