I'm Worried About the Young Women in Sexyy Red's Generation

  • I caught a very interesting conversation, or it was more like an exchange on The Breakfast Club between comedian and media personality Jess Hilarious and rapper Sexyy Red.
    I give Jess Hilarious a lot of credit because she exhibited a lot of maturity and I give Sexyy Red credit for at least giving Jess a chance to rectify whatever mistake she felt like she made.
    But I’m fucking bothered because this particular conversation reminded me of the conversations, us Black women of a certain age need to be having with younger Black women.

      Hey, Arthur THIS is what record companies did up to 20 years ago with signed talent. You were not a recording artist until the label put a team around you that gave you styling, media training, a PR rep, A&Rs that guided you to record the best music with the right writers and producers and marketing team that placed you on the right radio and TV shows and magazines and sent you on short tours. You were regarded as an investment. People like Sexxy Red are a perfect example of someone that cannot manage her own career. In the 90s, attractive and sexual female rappers were Foxy Brown and Lil Kim, who were well marketed and invested in and performed on prime time TV. Now look where we are... 😮

    I like how Jess handled her. At the same time, the way Redd conducted herself was really rediculous. I'd say that THE BIGGEST REASON why our generation can't speak to this gen is because this gen has issues with articulating themselves. This poor girl couldn't effectively articulate and verbalize her thoughts. It signifies a big failure in our public school system and highlights the dangers social media and current hip hop culture has on the social and emotional well being of young ppl. It was sad to watch that interaction.

      The biggest difference with the music is social media. Kim was popular among black people who listen to rap music. Sexy Red is popular among pop culture. Her music is everywhere. Ratchet music isn't only played inside of cars, clubs and dorm rooms like in the 90s. It's everywhere and it is socially acceptable. That's the difference. Those lyrics had a place and time in the 90s. Now, any social media or streaming platform can play these lyrics anywhere, anytime. The demand for accountability increases because of this.

    My issue with her is that she speaks about having STIs as if it is a badge of honor. STIs are highest among Black woman, including HIV. Pelvic inflammatory disease a complication from contracting STIs places us at further risk at becoming sterile and having ectopic pregnancies. This should not be taken lightly and I do not believe she and others who support her understand the impact of what she says and how she presents herself have on our community. According the CDC HIV is rising in her age group and what is so sad is that you don’t even understand until you start taking care of the young ones dying from this disease. I feel like the world has forgotten about HIV. It is rampant in our community and she is a distraction from the truth.

      The internet is not the information super highway we thought it would be. It's simply a digital marketplace where anything can be bought and sold, or traded.
      Young developing minds are impressionable and quite vulnerable to the infinite number of ideologies and perspectives it has to offer. I'd argue the vast majority of teens are not mature enough to handle the access they have to surf the web, let alone being able to process the data they come across.
      It's how those young minds perceive the data that worries me the most. It doesn't matter if it's radical left, extreme right, Red Pill, Blue Pill, etc. This doesn't even scratch the surface of dealing with the criticisms, pressures, and expectations of this social media world.
      Then again I could be wrong, and this is just the new normal for a world that's passing by the rest of us.

    We have to extend love and grace to our youngins. I work with middle school and JUCO students. Approaching them with curiosity helps. I connect with my humanity- Im honest about how i had flawed thinking at their age, share the consequences i faced, and then we discuss choices not that they know more. The usually make me proud with their decisions. SERVING (not dominating) young folks is incredible rewarding.

    Up to 20 years ago, you were not a recording artist until the label put a team around you that gave you styling, media training, a PR rep, A&Rs that guided you to record the best music with the right writers and producers and marketing team that placed you on the right radio and TV shows and magazines and sent you on short tours. You were regarded as an investment. People like Sexxy Red are a perfect example of someone that cannot manage her own career. In the 90s, attractive and sexual female rappers were Foxy Brown and Lil Kim, who were well marketed and invested in and performed on prime time TV. Now look where we are... 😮

    Lil Kim was not like Sexxy Redd. Lil Kim was normal Kim Jones when she did interviews. Sexy Redd is always raccooning on social media. She's a full time, professional raccoon. There is nothing wrong with older folks telling her that she needs to cut that stuff out. But hey...the Breakfast Club is part of the problem so I'm not surprised Jess backtracked. Breakfast Club can't afford to offend the record labels.

I don’t tolerate ignorance, I don't tolerate lack of communication, she is a leader, not a follower, she’s an only child so she is used to being out on her own with things. I have exposed her to good Hip Hop so she laughs at the nonsense coming out of record labels these days. But also remember my days as a teenager. YOUNG black women these days are lost and their parents or lack thereof are to blame. Some of these kids are being raised by people from the crack era.

    Hip Hop began as a vehicle to uplift the black community and to allow our voices to be heard. Before the whole gangsta rap/coochie era emcees made songs about being responsible fathers, staying away from drugs, and even when men and women talked about heartbreak in relationships the artists weren't degrading and dehumanizing one another to get their point across. All of that would change once corporate heads got involved and discovered that big money could be made off of hip hop. With that discovery they helped usher in gangsta/street rap and with it came the glorification of everything hip hop once denounced so are we really surprised by what we are seeing today it was headed in this direction all along we just had no idea how bad it would get. Even rnb has suffered because of the influence of toxic hip hop culture. From the looks of it it doesn't look like it will get better and as long as consumers don't require more out of hip hop artists of today they will just keep putting out trash knowing their fans will buy it anyway. I'm not degrading the artists but most of this music of today shouldn't be categorized as music. It poses no challenge make the type of music that artists make today. Anything can be put out today and it will be called art and awarded making artists feel a false sense of impact.

We told them it’s ok to have many sexual partners. We told them it’s ok to dress overly sexual and provocative. We told them it’s ok to have kids before or without marriage. We told them they don’t need husbands or men as helping relationship partners. We taught them that they don’t have to respect themselves or others. Sexxy Red isn’t the problem, we are as a culture and community. Like it or not, Sexxy Red is just the reflection of our cultural values.
