GOOD DAD: Dad with Daughters Pens Letter to Rap Music, He’s Had It With The Sleaze!
Clash Daily ^ | 4/27/14

Posted on 04/27/2014 8:47:29 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Mike Heenan has two daughters, his oldest daughter is only 3, but he decided to write a break-up letter to rap music.

In a blog post, Heenan writes:

Dear Rap Music,

I’ve been known to “throw my hands in the air and wave ‘em like I just don’t care.” I used to hit up your shows and you could often “find me in the club, bottle full of bub,” where, if your beat thumped enough and your hook looped just right, I could be enticed to “jump motherf*cker, jump motherf*cker jump.” And while I’ve never really been “down with O.P.P.,” I do “like big butts and I cannot lie…” And man, those days were the days.

But now that I have two daughters, two centers of the Universe, these are not those days.

I am breaking up with you, Rap Music, and it’s not you, it’s me. And it’s also, kind of, you.

It’s your rampant misogyny, homie. It is an epidemic. Your unapologetic sexism is a scourge on an otherwise exceptional cultural phenomenon. A movement I used to wear proudly on the sleeve of my Turbo/Ozone parachute suit while spinning on my back on the cardboard refrigerator boxes my mom brought home for the neighborhood kids to krush grooves and bust a move on. But the game has changed. Since falling headspins-over-heelkicks for the love of my life, that life is no longer about “getting my freak on.” And since becoming a SAHD of daughters, cash no longer “rules everything around me.” Frozen does. Dora does.

My oldest daughter is only 3, but she is a rosebud. Every day she grows closer to womanhood and every day I am made aware of another biological anomaly or aspect of gender-nature.

Mr. Heenan better watch out, his local children's and family services might take and toss his daughters in foster care for psychological abuse. How dare he not allow his kids to be exposed to wonderful artistry of(c)rap music. Depriving his girls of a fine example of cultural diversity, preventing them from "growing", being hip and with it, for shame. (In a Merryl Strep impersonation) HOW CAN WE DO THIS TO OUR CHILDREN!! (is the sarc tag really needed here?

He certainly won’t get help from the feminists on the left on this.

One time I was in a bar and a NFL Hall-of-Famer was there getting drunker and drunker stating that he was late for a birthday dinner that his wife and daughters had prepared, and laughing about it, that they were home waiting for him.

He then went on to say that women were good for nothing but "cooking, cleaning, and f**king."

I asked him what he wanted his daughters to do when they grew up and he said, "Anything they want! I'm sending them to college!"

And I said, "Why bother, when all they're good for is cooking, cleaning, and f**king?"

He lunged across the bar at me and his own buddies, who knew he was drunk and in the wrong, dragged him out.

Proving once again, the drunken “man” says what the sober “man” thinks. One reason I wonder if waterboarding techniques at Gitmo are the best way to go? Just ship cases of Ron Rico 151 and Jack Daniels down there and force feed it to the terrorist thugs and they’ll sing like canaries.

There is a lot of Christian Rap out there. A guy by the name of Lecrae has stayed on the mainstream rap charts with his Christian rap.

I still can’t stand most of it though - and tell my son to turn it off.

“But Dad - this song is about the saving blood of Jesus!”

“Yeah, great. Put your headphones on.”

Did go to a concert (to take my kids) that had a bunch of performers. It might have been Lecrae, but one of the rap/hip hop guys actually did get my toes to tapping, and I could understand the lyrics!

I wonder if there’s a single NBA player upset with Sterling who doesn’t regularly listen to the most demeaning anti-female rap.

Rap-imbibing, white-guilt infested, negro-worshipping Caucasians.

It's difficult to imagine a more ridiculous subset of 21st century humanity.
