This video makes me weep for my people and women. Nicki can do whatever she wants but as consumers and audience we should realize what larger role this plays in society. I fully remember the days when hyper-sexualized female rappers were not the norm. Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Missy Elliot, MC Lyte, Da Brat, Roxanne…

Plus your side bends and sit ups, too!

EVERYBODY knows the original song. This isn't some obscure track from 79. It's a really famous song.

"What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Patience. And silence."

Not only is the image offensive, it is apparently inaccurate.

I just figure if it is someone no one cares about or wouldn't know about (if they didn't read it on TMZ), they shouldn't get the publicity for it.

Why would there be? It's not like he is some bastion of celebrity wisdom that anyone would ever look to for focus - seriously, you had to say Sons of Anarchy's Chuck Zito. No one knows this dude.

Well, I don't know Chuck Zito, but if he said that then fuck Chuck Zito.

though I'm not a particular fan of this post, there's a difference between a "naked" picture of gif (or drawing) and a gif of violent assault. I mean, no one here was offended by the gifs because there were naked people. They (myself included) were offended because it was rape...

She is as beautiful as can be! But in this photo the only expression on her face is "File Not Found."

They exist to force other people to take on "responsibility" as long as that responsibility doesn't affect them in the slightest.
