Tapsearch Com EditorBarack Obama and Ludacris
April 12th 2007 22:22
Drudge is right to complain that Barack Obama met with Ludacris some time ago. A mainstream politician should not ally himself with a disgusting rapper. I said so myself at the time.
But in linking to the song "Ho," I think Drudge proves my point from yesterday: When rappers say "ho," they really are talking about loose women. When Don Imus said "ho," he was talking about basketball players.
From the song:
Certainly, rap doesn't speak well of black women. But I think often, and including in this case, it's clear that "ho" doesn't mean "black woman," it means "loose woman." Say whatever you want about singing of loose women, but it's been around forever.
So again, there's no real comparison between Don Imus calling basketball players "hos" and rappers writing songs about hos.

From the song:
You doin ho activities
With ho tendencies
Hos are your friends, hoes are your enemies
...
Cant turn a ho into a housewife
Hos dont act right
...
Its a ho wide world, that we livin in
feline, feminine, fantastical, women
Not all, just some
You ho who you are
With ho tendencies
Hos are your friends, hoes are your enemies
...
Cant turn a ho into a housewife
Hos dont act right
...
Its a ho wide world, that we livin in
feline, feminine, fantastical, women
Not all, just some
You ho who you are
