This is for you Doc.
There are many underrepresented groups in America. We like to call them minorities. There are blacks, women, Asians, Latinos, gays and lesbians, puppies, rappers, crackheads, etc. These groups are usually maligned and disenfranchised by the dominant group at the time, which in this country has usually been white men.
Well there are groups that are discriminated against by not only white men, but black men, white women, black women, hell anybody actually, because of their antics and the belief that these individuals are not bringing anything to society and are actually detrimental. It’s ironic, because this group has the ability to bring change to the world and bring about unity because of the diverse nature of its makeup.
I’m talking about video ho*s.
Yes, video ho*s.
It’s amazing the hate that is spewed towards video ho*s. Here is a group of women who are merely adding color, class, and a little bit of sexiness to a video and they receive nothing but negative energy. It’s just not fair. Well, I for one, will not stand around and allow this nincompoopery to continue. It is my goal to point out the one positive that video ho*s bring to the world that could make this a better world for you and me. Yes, they can heal the world. Even make it a better place…for you and for me.
Yes, that’s what video ho*s can do.
First, I apologize for any ill will I’ve given to the video ho*s. You make me smile and I intend to purge myself of all of the ignorance I’ve thrown your direction.
Being as I watch a lot of videos, I realize that some of these women are being exploited, but most of them just want to be there, sharing their beauty and dancing skills with the world. These women, these valiant purveyors of aesthetic voyeurism, are providing the backdrop for a society enamored with entertainment and a**. We are a T&A society. They are T&A. I think we should examine how much these video ho*s, these women that we talk so horribly about, go through just to make us smile, gawk, and appreciate the aesthetic beauty that is hip-hop.
I was watching the MTVJams the other day and saw the popular 2006 video for the Back Wudz single “You’re Gonna Love Me”.
While watching this video, I started thinking about when this video came out – mostly because there is a severe disparity in the outfits that are being rocked in this video. The dudes, especially towards the end and during the night hours are all wearing…coats. The video ho*s?? They’re wearing what video ho*s wear.
Nothing.
You can see the cold breath from these dudes as they’re rapping. And yet, right there, bright as day, those video ho*s are still putting in their work because they see the greater picture here. They make it look like its 90 degrees outside, despite the fact that Dallas Austin is wearing a Gap (I only know this because I have that coat) $150 parka.
You see, what video ho*s bring to the world is an undying spirit and work ethic despite the odds. Sure its cold outside and they’ll probably have to go to the hospital to get treated for hypothermia…but there is a greater cause at hand! Making the men look like the pimps they aren’t. Video ho*s risk heights, will walk on ledges, will stand on the edge of a crane, let snakes climb all over them, just to make a video look good. That is dedication.
You see, video ho*s, the oft maligned group of women, are believers in perseverance and the greater good. They believe in the artistry of music. Video ho*s believe that without aesthetics and without determination, the world would crumble.
Video ho*s make us believe that men in these videos are sex symbols. But alas, they do them, over and over.
They show up and give light to the darkness that is a horrible song because they believe in the plight of the entertainer. And I believe in their plight, because video ho*s make it possible to believe!
That is what they bring to the world and why this group shouldn’t be discriminated against any longer. Video ho*s make me believe in myself.
What have you done to better the world lately?
-VSB P aka THE ARSONIST
This was the most hilarious piece of bullsh!t I have ever read. I am going to respectfuly disagree. Whatever the motivation is for women being video hos, I am almost 100 % sure that it is not for the “greater good”. And this sentence
You see, what video ho*s bring to the world is an undying spirit and work ethic despite the odds
is extremely laughable. Work ethic? Puhleeaassee…….
“Work ethic? Puhleeaassee…….”
so clocking 5 consecutive 16 hour work days and getting paid roughly $2.30 an hour isn’t a sign of an outstanding work ethic? i mean, when you think about it, in terms of work ethics, video ho’s are up there with school principals, nurses, and crackheads
so clocking 5 consecutive 16 hour work days and getting paid roughly $2.30 an hour isn’t a sign of an outstanding work ethic?
I think it is an outstanding showing of work ethic…lol…especially since they make 2.30/hr (1.95/hr below the bible belt) they gotta make their LV money in tips…or tip drills…whichever you prefer…
where are y’all getting these stats? they make more than $2.30/hr and it only takes 2 days (max) to make a video. on the cheaper, sluttier ones sometimes get their talent for free by just shutting down the local strip club and filling the “talent” who already work there… there’s a documentary on this (the plight of the video ho) and it aired on BET (of all networks) about 3 years ago.
its not much more than that. Alot of video professionals aren’t even paid. Its on some “portfolio” tip. Thats pretty widely known. alot of the ladies are JUST excited to be apart of the “creative process”.
was it called sexploitation?? that aired on vh1… sorry to say my cousin’s baby’s father owns that pathetic establishment… crazy dave’s…
right…video ladies put the ETHIC in work ethic.
“in terms of work ethics, video ho’s are up there with school principals, nurses, and crackheads”
That’s the funniest shyt I’ve heard in a minute…funny cause it’s funny and funny cause it’s true.
siiiigghhhh…..
I feel ya…
and i’ll add to that a “Dear Lord”
what?!?! lol…
I do want to note however that I dont have a problem with video ho’s. As long as they are adults I am fine with their choice but much like Erika Badu.. you cant decide that you are special and get a free pass from the views and opinions of society. Most women with 3 kids and 3 baby daddies have to deal with the negative stigma attached to having multiple baby daddies….Most women who make a living by exploiting their bodies have to deal with the same thing.. ..right or wrong you know how society views these things. So keep you head up and keep moving if thats the road you decide upon..
“Erika Badu.. you cant decide that you are special and get a free pass from the views and opinions of society. Most women with 3 kids and 3 baby daddies have to deal with the negative stigma attached to having multiple baby daddies”
Respect her Queendom.
(She was killing me with that!)
“Most women who make a living by exploiting their bodies have to deal with the same thing.”
honestly though, and this is a “bigger” question, but why is using your body f0r personal gain so much worse than using your mind? i mean, theyre both your God-given possessions, so how is the use of one of them given the side eye?
My guess would be because of the bible. Fornication is a sin, lust is a sin, so a person making their living by selling sex is promoting sin.
Just a thought
My guess would be because of the bible. Fornication is a sin, lust is a sin, so a person making their living by selling sex is promoting sin.
selling sex is not a “sin”…just because you’re selling it doesn’t people have to buy it…that’s like saying beng a bartender is a sin…I am a little rusty on my biblosity, but I think drinking is not the sin, but drunking is…(shrugging) but for real (for real) the whole idea of this is a sin and that is a sin is such a diluted argument…I mean the origins of the bible and what was already there and what was added/deleted by Jimmy, etc would all have to come into play and it is perhaps too early in the morning for such a debate…perhaps too early in life…
I am not saying whether selling sex is a or isnt a sin…I am saying that I think the negative connotation attached to using your body to survive instead of your mind is derived from that particular mind set.
I also said that the person is “promoting” sin.
“so a person making their living by selling sex is promoting sin.”
I think it gets really complicated. Everything is an exchange. Someone pointed out below that on a certain level we all are ho’s. I had a professor tell me once that marriage is a form of sexual exchange and prostitution.
I think there was a study done on how people buy things from attractive and desirable people whose sex#uality is also for sell, you don’t JUST by a product. The cosmetic, clothing, automotive, and food industry all sell se#x and desirability. So maybe we are all sinnin’ when we purchase.
I think there was a study done on how people buy things from attractive and desirable people whose sex#uality is also for sell, you don’t JUST by a product.
A few years back there was a news story about a woman who became a millionaire selling hot dogs on a California beach. The secret to her success? Skimpy bathing suits and a whole lotta flirting!
” a woman who became a millionaire selling hot dogs on a California beach. The secret to her success? Skimpy bathing suits and a whole lotta flirting!”
a millionaire??? thats a lot hotdogs..but when you think about it. I don’t think a woman owns hooters. But thats smart, if your gonna sell yourself…why not really SELL YOURSELF. That needs to go into the video h$o manual.
Exactly…not to get all preachy, but selling sex is basically engaging in fornication, or sex outside of the marital bond.
This is a good question. I blame society and its double standards.
I had that exact conversation with a feminist friend the other day. Why is the mind considered “superior” to the body?
Someone please tell me.
haai, champ – you’re special, all right….rock on, my dear brother! very very hilarious! i’m sure the video gelz appreciate your support!
i remember once yeeears ago, when i was in sophmore year, watching a video girl award ceremony at about 2am on BET – i remember they were serenaded by a very old and diminished looking jeffrey osborne – of ‘you should be mine [the woo woo song]‘ fame!
heh heh heh,maybe they should revive the ceremony, i never heard of it again… but then again, i only caught it coz i was wide awake on christmas break, happy to watch any trash as long as it was on cable…
(incidentally, a brazillian girl won the competiton – she had killa moves and when asked what she’d do with the cash if she won, instead of the vacuous materialistic answers the other gelz gave, she wisely said ‘i’ll send it to my mom in brazil, coz she really needs it!’ jackpot! why not send the $ to a struggling mama in the favelas of rio instead of blinging up 5th avenue? hmmmm???
maybe you should venture into broadcast champ, and let the video ho competition be your first property – you could team up with flava-flav… ha ha ha! sheer viewing plezha… not.
“when i was in sophmore year, watching a video girl award ceremony at about 2am on BET ”
BET used to have a ceremony for video girls? lol!
Another example of why BET is exactly why we can’t get ahead. BET=The Man, and it’s holding us down.
For real? There was an awards ceremony? ha-haaaa
That’s just about as funny as the pern awards…lol
“maybe you should venture into broadcast champ, and let the video ho competition be your first property – you could team up with flava-flav… ha ha ha! sheer viewing plezha… not.”
panama actually authored this entry, but, as a few of our long-time readers know, we actually would jointly hold a ncaa tournament style competition, with brackets and everything, each year on our personal sites to figure out the “baddest brown skinned woman in pop culture”, with video hoes, actresses, and any other popular chicks all included. kenya moore won the first year we did it, and stacey dash (i think) the second
I thought it was Beyonce, but there’s a 54% chance I’m wrong. What I DO remember is the litany of complaints you and P had to field because some of the chicks were seeded terribly…
“What I DO remember is the litany of complaints you and P had to field because some of the chicks were seeded terribly…”
lol…we did have a few complaints, but i don’t think those people realize just how painstaking of a process that was. creating that list took many sleepless nights, arguments, and i think p even tried to shank me a couple times.
folks were just hating back then…but seriously that was some hard work. we toiled for hours and hours just whittling down the list of participants…
it got even worse when folks started calling shenanigans b/c we weren’t including pornstars, etc. genius requires trudging thru adversity. lol.
a toast to these unsung heroes! *raises glass of apple juice*
“a toast to these unsung heroes! *raises glass of apple juice*”
thanks and sh*t
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, bring back “October Madness” LOL!! It’s right around the corner too…
when did this become the champ show??? two other people own this site too! LOL!!!
lol…i just think that reading comprehension suffers a bit for some when they’re posting between 12 and 2 in the morning, thats all
I was thinking that…and I am glad you typed up! as the ***editor*** can’t you DO something?? Pana-Montana RAWKS! VSB has two daddys!
“VSB has two daddys!”
***softly, yet seriously telling goodness to never refer to vsb.com in a way that makes it sound like an orphan who was adopted by a gay couple***
CTFU! I’m laughing so hard my eyes are watering
ha!! I knew that would get you…I apologize…I was just acting out to get some attention again…***spanks own hand*** bad GOODENess…bad!
awww! but we all watched My Two Dads when we were kids…those guys were totally not gay!
***softly, yet seriously telling goodness to never refer to vsb.com in a way that makes it sound like an orphan who was adopted by a gay couple***
LMAO!
actually i think in this case P-Money would be the Daddy and The Champ is the momma of VSB…lol. i’m crackin’ myself up over here!
Or Liz could be the Mommy, Champ could be the Daddy and P could be the dip on side…….
y’all are killing me.
ROFL. Yeah the Champ is def way more compassionate than Panama. LOL. I’m just sayin–that’s why you can’t possibly mix these two up!
i’m compassionate…i just think lots of folks are p*ssies.
Damn, P gotta be the dip on the side? Why can’t he be the crazy uncle?
why the hell have i either been deemed the “momma”, or the husband whose wife is getting slayed by tnn (the next n*gga)???
smh. oh well. back to my cave
LOL. How about we just all be brothers and sister, like the obvious analogy suggests?
“Here is a group of women who are merely adding color, class, and a little bit of sexiness to a video and they receive nothing but negative energy.”
VSB is is showing the video girls some love:) I have no problems with the girls in the videos, most are so young and just trying to break into the entertainment industry. Superhead added a big stigma to being a video girl, but a lot of women actually started out in videos like Tracey Edmonds. I blame the creative forces behind the videos more than the girls because they’re the ones who are choreographing the videos. I’m also tired about the lack of creativity in the videos. The videos are too similar and a lot even use the same girls so it’s hard to tell the videos apart.
“VSB is is showing the video girls some love”
vsb.com: loving hoes since 1913
MAN! I saw some older videos on VH1 soul and I was floored at the difference in the standard of beauty from 1988 to 1998 to 2008.. A FOOL!! the 88 objects of desire were fully clothed with realstic weaves and looked like they actually ate real food…98 backround actors changed from business casual/bbq attire to club clothes, added braids and colorful hair to mix and may have had one meal a day…08 the eye candy went wet and wavy/hawaiin silky rocking straight drawls on (inter)national TV and suck ice cubes and bomb pops in practice for there tip drill oppportunities…
you gotta love the hustle…
Mz. Good Good,
I feel what you’re saying, but you also must take into account that videos of ’08 isn NOWHERE touching the rawness of the videos in ’88-mid ’90′s either. This was the age of theBOX and 2 Live Crew, Poison Clan, hell…the whole bass scene was exploding and what they were doing in those videos make videos of today look like Sesame Street. NWA and Ice-T had guns all up in their videos. Nowadays, the networks won’t even air a gun in a video unless it’s being held by a police officer. They’re also real strict on showing just body parts in a frame…You have to see the head too. Of course they’re are some exceptions, but you get my point.
LMAO…ask not what your country could do for a video h*e but what a video video h*e can do for your country…lol.
YOU’RE A FOOL!!!!
…so what exactly did the chics in the Tip Drill video do for this country, cause I’m still trying to figure that sh!t out.
*sidenote*…ha ha ha…i love the moderation message…astericks are indeed my friend.
“…so what exactly did the chics in the Tip Drill video do for this country, cause I’m still trying to figure that sh!t out.”
They helped you to be able to point her out.
“…so what exactly did the chics in the Tip Drill video do for this country, cause I’m still trying to figure that sh!t out.”
before “tip drill”, atm cards were kind of boring. the “tip drill” video helped to open our minds to the many ways that atm cards could be utilized
LMAO!!! You’re a fool.
can I also add this song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IEuJkYRggA
LMAO!!!!! tell me what that thang smell like?
I used to watch unCut my freshie year of college, and that song never ceased to disgust me.
What those “things” smell like is prolly hot dog water, fritos, feet, and VD.
ba-dussy…lol
oh snap…haven’t used that word in YEARS lol! me and my roomie in college used to talk about the girls who used to live next door to us…whose room really did smell like ba-dussy!
wow! how bout, i love the pop up on this one! that ish was pretty gay! lmao
um…not to be dense, but what exactly is a tip drill?
*long gaaaasp*
…u never saw the Tip Drill video or heard the song.
allow me: the video doesn’t actually start until second 57, but after that it’s a mess!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qB-XRlz3f0&feature=related
hmmm…i thought this one was deemed spam…oh well, 2 video links to chics bending over and splitting their cheeks for the camera ain’t never hurt nobody…well except maybe the entire black female race.
oh snap! i feel like i need to take a shower after watching that!
so, the woman is the tip drill then? or is the man with the well worn ATM card, the tip drill?
Let’s be clear here,
“Tip Drill” casted nothing but strippers (mostly from Strokers). Those girls are strippers, not to be confused with video models/vixens (I’m not callin’ my sistas hoes…lol)
*long gaaaaasp*
but u have never heard the song or even seen the video one late night on BET’s f*ckery that we all have come to know as BET’s Uncut
allow me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7eoxnGFyA8&feature=related
I believe the term “tip drill” came from the basketball drill where the ball is being tipped on the backboard so every player has to get at least one touch of it without the ball hitting the ground.
A tip drill is then referred to as a woman who all the players have got a touch of.
I think. Let me know if I’m wrong.
Oh, I always thought it was the 2 minute drill a stripper has to do make sure she gets tips from men..
I had to rewatch the uncut Tip Drill video just now, and I get it, but I’m mad that I get it. Damn them video hos.
LMAO!!
It’s rumored that Ruben Studdard’s wife is in this video.
I guess that goes to show that if you shake that @ss hard enough, you too can marry an ex-american idol winner with declining record sales (I hate that show).
“It’s rumored that Ruben Studdard’s wife is in this video. ”
I read that too.
that is truly an uplifting message! eff that doctorate!
It must be ya azz cause it ain’t yo’ face….lmao
I think I saw the lady who played Madame Prez Narese Campbell on The Wire in the tip drill video too!!!!!! am I trippin?
“I think I saw the lady who played Madame Prez Narese Campbell on The Wire in the tip drill video too!!!!!! am I trippin?’
LOL…yeah. you are.

fast forward (or not) to 3:16…that’s her in the black bikini!!
From the still photo I’ve seen of them and the stll from the video, it damn sure looks like her.
HAHAHAHHAHAAH…OH MA GOD…(now deciding to switch to lowercase)…you guys never fail to make my day!!!
Look, I’m not from the {How does Borat say it again} U.S of the A, but even here in South Africa we give video vixens a hard time, mostly because making videos has not yet developed into a lucrative industry here so we see these woman in the hood everday carrying their bastard-nappy-headed babies with their perms growing outta their heads, but still we give them a hard time. This needs to stop!!!
Look ARSONIST, i will willingly head-up the African Leg of this movement, and make sure that we enlighten the masses on a global scale. I will push it to the ultimate goal of having the African Union Agenda being:
1. Poverty
2. Aids
3. Robert Mugabe F**king over his own people, and we’re all just a bunch of b*tches who can’t stand up to him ’cause he’s a hero in our eyes.
4. Genocide on the stigma of Video H*s
If we can all work together, we can achieve a common goal, and maybe one day see the dawn of a day where Fox/Sky newsreaders are all former video H*s.
Viva La Vida!!!
P.S Rick James beeeyaaaitch!!
Leila –>”…maybe one day see the dawn of a day where Fox/Sky newsreaders are all former video H*s.”
Oh, guurl, you got it so right. And the Fake News folks who give hard-ons to the race obsessed ain’t even sexy.
“bastard-nappy-headed babies”
“bastard nappy headed baby” was actually O.D.B.’s original name before the GZA convinced him to change it
Look ARSONIST, i will willingly head-up the African Leg of this movement, and make sure that we enlighten the masses on a global scale.
i’m so proud of this. trans-continental movements are way better than Young Jeezy movements.
**Warning: Here’s Monk’s “Tell ‘Em Why You Mad, Son” segment**
Ok…I’m sick of this shyt!! As a music video director, I am utterly disgusted by the name-calling and double standards that society has put in place when it comes to ethnic models who appear in music videos. Why the hell are they labeled as “video hoes”?? To hear these grossly exaggerated generalizations is despicable especially when they’re from a race of people who have been plagued with stereotypes for centuries.Let me ask you a question: Did the young ladies of the Rutgers basketball team deserve to be called “hoes”? Let me answer that for you. NO!! So why is it that so many ignorant phucks out there pass judgment and place labels on these women knowing very little about their personal lives. These women are Sisters, Daughters, and Mothers-just because they’re in music videos, why should that warrant the unjust labeling?Advertisers adhere to the age-old adage that “sex sells” and models in videos are essentially selling the artist and the song. It’s the same principle alcohol distributors, car manufacturers, and clothing companies have utilized since their conception. Even when the blond-haired, blue-eyed Barker beauties are parading around Rice-A-Roni, vacuum cleaners, and “new car”s on “The Price Is Right”, those models are using their sexy appearance to sell the show. When the sexy ladies of the popular game show, “Deal Or No Deal”, open those briefcases, their appearance is a part of the show’s appeal. Those women are not called “game show hoes” so why are the women in urban clips called “video hoes”.I think it goes back to black people just hating themselves – forcing them to hate on others like them…but that’s a different article in itself. I digress.Many people who aren’t in the industry don’t realize that these women are on set (at work) for 14, maybe 16 hours a day. In addition, it takes a huge amount of courage and confidence to be in front of a camera while people are standing around watching you. The average person can NOT do it. Many of these women watch their diet and exercise regularly to keep their bodies in great shape and we KNOW that the average American does NOT have gym memberships that they use and fast food consumption is the norm since everybody’s always in a rush.I’ll even say instead of blasting these women, more folks should look at their positive attributes and emulate them. Especially the over-weight slobs that sit on their asses all day and watch music videos.Just my two pennies…

**End of Monk’s “Tell ‘Em Why You Mad, Son” segment**
Let the record show that Monk has told the court why he’s mad.
Your honor I have no further questions. The defense rests.
“and models in videos are essentially selling the artist and the song.’
For a very UNFAIR wage. I dont have a problem with these women because usually the smart ones can parlay this into something more financially empowering and most of them don’t get caught up in the hype their selling (which are ghetto pipe dreams). Se#x does sell. My thing is if you’re gonna sell it, at least get a fair wage.
They need a union.
Monk, well said, and I’ll add that in this country, the general outlook is partly a by-product of the loony European Puritan Ages, where the rumored roots of this word came from:
Forbidden
Use of
Carnal
Knowledge.
Yes, that was illegal among the unmarried peasants and they needed permission from the higher aboves. What a great form of birth control to be locked up on that charge. And you guys thought misdemeanor weed laws were unfair…
How did they justify it? My best guess is same one used to rape and plunder in war: religion.
I think the video ‘ho’s take a lot of heat and their careers are really short b/c it’s a youth thing for the ladies, so if they haven’t saved their money and gotten some other skills, they’re screwed.
And a bunch of the ones who applied for Plies Bust It Baby audition should have stayed home. Really. Not only did some look awful, but they were degrading to themselves. What were these poor girls thinking? This —> YouTube video <— was shocking and sad in my eyes. Hell, I’d give them free counseling.
I’ve seen that audition tape.
Madness, I say.
and you wonder why they get that reputation? have you seen the D4l porno? the diplomat joint, the luke videos? Come on now…
Umm… there’s a D4L porno??? Eeewww
That’s what I said!!!
::Shudder to think::
“and you wonder why they get that reputation? have you seen the D4l porno? the diplomat joint, the luke videos? Come on now…”
these are all actual p*rn stars in these vids though, not video chicks
tomayto tomahto…..
Video girl is not synonomous with porn girl.
Sorry son, the problem with your argument is this. The difference between the video ho’s and the barker girls, mainstream models are as follows
1. They do not have the reputation for f*cking their way to screen. (Thank Supahead and her breed for that) Think about it, the video girls fall from grace is a fairly recent phenom and the actions and attitude of a few of these women have a lot to do with the overall perception
2. There is a difference in level of taste and class. It has nothing to do with race it has more to do with what they are wearing and portraying on screen. Now should they be held totally accountable for the misogynistic lyrics of the rapper? He-ll NO! but there is a big difference between being on screen introducing a prize and introducing your ability to “pop lock and drop it or introducing that “monkey”.
3. Lets be real, now if you want to argue race, argue why black women are not on these shows and are not given more tasteful opportunities but you cant argue that video h*s are doing exactly the same thing. You can also argue that all video girls are being lumped together when there is a big difference between the video n8o and a video model, (Example the girls in the Tip Drill video versus the girls Lloyd’s “get it shawty” joint) but to compare the chicks in the tip drill video to the rutgers team? Get the fu*k outta here!
Sorry son, the problem with your argument is this. “The difference between the video ho’s and the barker girls, mainstream models are as follows
1. They do not have the reputation for f*cking their way to screen. (Thank Supahead and her breed for that)”
i may be mistaken, but wasn’t bob barker banging a few of those price is right chicks? i even think he got one of them knocked up
I didnt hear he was banging them, I thought several girls brought a s.e.xual harrassment case against him and the show but thats all I ever heard.
***shaking myhead in disgust at the thought of Barker b@lls***
yes he was…and he’s that baby’s daddy!
yeah part of that scandal was them having to sleep with him to get certain coveted spots during the show.
Bob Barker was one wrinkled pimp.
“difference between the video ho’s and the barker girls, mainstream models are as follows: They do not have the reputation for f*cking their way to screen. ”
Bob Barker DID reportedly have a heated affair with one of those Barker chicks that was on the show for like 25 years.
The problem is that the arbiter of whats tasteful and classy have MORE MONEY to make those very determinations.
Shay-d-lady says:”(Thank Supahead and her breed for that)”
So I guess all New York governors are gay too right? All female astronauts are crazy, and all preachers have kids out of wed-lock?
There’s a lot of truth in perception, but making widespread generalizations is just kinda ignorant to me.
I agree that it’s not all just about race because a lot of the girls being featured right now represent a span of ethnicities. Hey, we’re equal opportunity employers.
no one is making widespread generalizations. The analogy you use is ridiculous and a crass attempt to at condescending debate. There is a whole segment of video girls that do the uncut videos plus the mainstream video chicks under the tutelage of superhead. These groups together have stigmatized the entire population of video “vixens”, right or wrong.
you had me at “game show hoes”
Monk…when I read this post I immideiately thought of you…I was waiting to see what you had to say…and you didn’t disappoint…I think the root of these stereotypes is the fac tthat the few that make it to the spotlight act a d@mn fool and make the rest of them look bad…al la superhead…but from the outside looking in…that’s what we see…some buy it…some don’t…perception is truth…for real…
“Why the hell are they labeled as “video hoes”?? ”
I only use this label -video hoes-when referring to the half naked broads in the BET uncut videos, NOT the women of color who I see in a Pharrell or Justin Timberlake video. My brother was an AD for many years, so I know the painstaking process of making a video. However, when you pull your panties to the side to let the camera get an in focus shot of your shiny lips or your giggling as$ to the beat of Snoop or Ludacris, you lose all leverage in your argument to be labeled anything but a ho (regardless of being a momma, sister or daughter).
That’s my 2 cents…
p.s.- Bob Barker never licked nobody’s cl*t on the air and smacked them on the ass either. Let’s be real, there’s a big big difference between his ‘lovely ladies’ and the chicks in the Tip Drill video.
My name is JBoogie and I ENDORSE this message!
“p.s.- Bob Barker never licked nobody’s cl*t on the air and smacked them on the ass either.”
you’ve obviously never seen those uncut “price is right” tapes floating around the internet then
I’d also like to point out that dancing and looking sexy does not make one a hoe. When a woman puts her ‘freak ‘em’ dress on and hit the club to get her groove on, is she a hoe? If that’s the case, most women have fallen into the ‘hoe’ category a time or three.
Dancing is a huge part of our culture passed on for centuries and it has always been laced with sexuality. Whether it’s our ancestors in Africa doing tribal dances, folks in the 50′s/60′s doing ‘The Twist’, Bobby Brown dancing on stage with the young lady in the “Roni” video,or slow dancing to “Forever My Lady”, rap videos do not have the patent on sexual dances.
If someone is labeled as a hoe cause of the way they dance then that’s totally changing the meaning of the word. If you’re a hoe by doing a job (not having sex) in a video, then I guess we all can be labeled as hoes for our particular profession. Nurse=Medical hoe, Lawyer=Legal hoe, Teacher=Scholastic ass hoe, etc.
I think folks need to realize that at the end of the day, it is all just entertainment.
**Sidenote: My homeboy Brock did that Back Wuds video and it was chilly than a mugg that day.**
I think it’s hard to not call the ladies, ho*s when the song is usually talking about ho*s phucking and sucking. That doesn’t make it right, just hard to distringuish the ladies in the video from the ho*s they are rapping about……..
And I would like to point out that maybe it’s hard to distinguish between the two when you’re in the club dropping it like it’s hot. But videos are suppose to bring the song to life and create a backdrop, so it’s harder for the video “ladies” to shed the title of h*e, vixen, actress or whatever they’re calling themselves now a days.
“If you’re a hoe by doing a job (not having sex) in a video, then I guess we all can be labeled as hoes for our particular profession. Nurse=Medical hoe, Lawyer=Legal hoe, Teacher=Scholastic ass hoe, etc.”
this is why liz is known in most circles as the “conference call ho”
“scholastic @ss hoe” has just entered my daily vocab…I expect to call Luvvie one before the day is over! **two snaps**
I hate you.

so true…***looks down at outfit*** if that’s the case…I’m a ho* right now…lol…sometimes sh*t don’t seem unfair until it happens to you…
freak-emly dressed at 10 a.m.?!?!
umm but a chick on the dance floor simulating sex while dancing to plies buss it baby will also be labeled as a h8… I mean we live in a world where perception is king (pun intended). The actions that these women portray and the clothing that they wear would in everyday situations have them labeled as a ho as well.

they may not BE hoes, but im sure theres more than a few people who are perceiving them as such. its the same with the video vixens…they may not actually be hoes, but they seem to be workin damn hard to put forth that perception…
Don’t forget folks that this is TV (meaning entertainment or ‘not real life’). If you can step outside yourself for a second, you’ll realize that you wouldn’t wouldn’t expect Bill Cosby (Dr. Huxtable) to deliver your baby nor would you expect one of the the peace-loving Angelina Jolie to go around killin’ muthafathas. It’s NOT real. If you’re living in a bubble and you believe that all the cars, houses, and other scenarios ACTED out in videos are true, well…that’s you.
You gotta recognize the entertainment value of it.
Eh dancing and wearing sexy cloths doesn’t make a woman a hoe. A female’s behavior and mentality is what determines whether or not she’s a hoe. Sadly the music industry is full of thirsty hoes (men and women) who will do *ANYTHING* to get in the spot light. The “video hoe” label didn’t come over night. Back in the 80′s the ethnic women in music videos where actresses and models trying to break into the industry. They weren’t sleeping with the whole crew of a rap artist or sucking off the video director just to get some camera time. These women were professional and conducted themselves with respect. Nowadays, it’s almost a requirement for a music video model (and I use the world “model” very loosely) to offer some sucky for five dollars in order to get some face time. In addition what makes these video models questionable is that they go out and participate in hoeish activity. Sleeping with a bunch of men that you’ve worked with is questionable behavior in any industry.
I’m not saying all video models participate in this activity but I’ll but a lot of money to bet that over 70% of them has fuck/sucked/licked for some extra attention. Did anyone watch the VH-1 special on video models? The women who don’t sleep around admitted to having a hard time getting work. It’s ridiculous. Nevertheless folks need to stop being sensitive about video models (who don’t contribute anything worth wild to society in my opinion) are labeled hoes. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it’s a duck.
For the slow folks, if you suck, fuck, or lick for money, jobs, a sugar daddy, etc., YOU ARE A HOE. End of story. My only advice is that if you are going to be a hoe, embrace it. Be the best hoe you can be. Make the money and save for retirement so you don’t turn into a broke bitch like Superhead.
I definitely believe that the women on videos are most of the time super gorgeous. But they would be equally gorgeous if tastefully clothed and if they refrained from grinding on people and cars, that would be a bit classier. I feel like most rap videos objectify women, just like cars, money, and jewelry. But I suppose to most of these women, not only is it the ultimate compliment to be considered hot enough to be in a video, but it’s a paycheck. A paycheck that may add a little perceived glamour and excitement to some young woman that definitely feels like she’s made it because she’s a “model” now. I won’t knock their hustle, but I think they should form a union or something. Get some rights. Get regulated.
In other news, Oprah calls it an “a ha moment”, others call it a lightbulb moment, the Bible calls is Revelation, and still some others may call me slow as hell, but I JUST (as in last night) found out what “where our favorite CP3 wears a B Cup” means. I always wondered, and even googled, but the answer always eluded me (and I was too scared to ask). Until yesterday one of my co-workers said I looked like Candace Parker, and I had no idea who she was, so I googled her, and when I saw the good people over at youtube referring to her as cp3, it hit me like a ton of bricks. lol
“but I think they should form a union or something. Get some rights. Get regulated”
I wrote the same thing. I agree. I don’t think they are allowed into the actor’s one.And they certainly don’t make the money that a “traditional model” would make.

hearing this makes me proud and sh*t
Popping your booty, having 40s poured on you, or random men stick their fingers in your various orifices is not the way to become a legit model or actress. I wish folks will learn the craft and go about finding success without half assing it or resorting to ridiculous behavior. I have to admit that many of these video girls are gorgeous but their appeal is taken away as soon as you see them participate in degrading activities on film or open their damn mouth. Have any of you heard some of these broads talk? Some of them need a lesson on how to articulate themselves and Standard English. I think I’m going to use my next bonus check and send all the video models copies of “On Speaking Well” Peggy Noonan
Way to go Muse…. I am cosigning for the house on this one!
cosign… any real aspiring actress is taking acting classes, and doing real acting… performing in plays, acting in commercials, small tv roles, etc.
imagine, “girl #2 in menage scene with rick ross,” as actually being on an acting resume.
aww, but he’s the BOSS!!
I know many that do do this. Modeling in videos doesn’t neccessarily pay the bills by itself unless you’ve reached an “highly in-demand” status, a lot of these women have other ventures in modeling such as magazines, calendars, other acting gigs, websites, hosting, etc.. Many also are attending college or working other jobs.
Video ho*s make me believe in myself”
P I think there might be some truth in this. If video “model’s” can end up with tell all book deals, car accessories, and a little “I want to save all the little girls in the world from sex#ual oppression”, anything is possible.
They ARE the modern day shapeshifters. And they sometimes do marry very well too, I offer up exhibit (A) Gene Simmons’ wife… i mean long time girlfriend.
“Video ho*s make me believe in myself.”
that should definitely be a t-shirt.
id buy it…but then again…by the time we see these tee-shirts we all might be in a nursing home. But I think I’ll be hot senior citizen. And I’d wear the t-shirt at 65.
That shirt would be perfect for old ladies….and you do have a point about the agonizing wait…
“They ARE the modern day shapeshifters. And they sometimes do marry very well too, I offer up exhibit (A) Gene Simmons’ wife… i mean long time girlfriend.”
LOL…Shannon was a Playboy playmate that parlayed that into acting and um, her “union” with Mr. Simmons…I wasn’t mad at her!
she was also in some soft core porn too…she’s doin her thang!
And she still looks great. Go Shannon.
she sure does!
Yeah… unfortunately I’ve seen more than a few of those on late night Skinamax.
Red Shoe Diaries in the house! lmao
I hated that series it was very frustrating to watch lol. I couldnt even see a side panned peter shot. Not even a shadow of a peter. Not even a half-smoke standing in for a peter. I’m mad even as i type this.
lmao! calm down girl, its okay…i feel your pain. girls was all topless and we couldnt even get some testicular cleavage. it just aint right!
You couldn’t see nathan on the “red shoe”.
Yeah, they was straight hating on the ladies…lmao.
Let’s not forget those Emanuelle movies…ha!
lord i remember them too lol…it was always some isht with a murder plot to it lol…
I liver you Panama in a brotherly I’m proud of you kinda way. video ho’s parade a woman’s swag in a way that should only be percieved as that the wonderous female swag. Too often our society focuses on hateration where is the loveation. If anyone can find it I think it would be a great idea for everyone to see this pod from current tv I think it is titled ‘tolerance.’ & then again the video ho’s that are in the after dark them b!tches need Jesus.
“where is the loveration.”
i’d rock this t-shirt to do chores and sh*t
My boys are in hip hop and we just shot a video a few weeks ago. We recruited models and the whole nine. Classy women with education and excellent communication. They have aspirations in the modeling field and will do whatever is necessary (not always ridin people to the top. pun intended) to get where they want. A lot of the video chicks want to be seen that one time and get their big break. I talked with a few of the models, they’re business women. Then again, we do have the Buffy the Bodies and Karrine Steffans of the world, but look at where she is at now. That video with Mr. Marcus is the truth by the way…
“That video with Mr. Marcus is the truth by the way…”
you know, i thought she was just ok. like, her name should be “decenthead” or “aboveaveragehead” instead of “supahead”
They must drink a different type of water where you live.
“They must drink a different type of water where you live.’
since i won’t name actual women that i know who have head skills rivaling supa’s, i’ll just name p*rn stars
italia blue
obsession
caramel
i could continue, but i don’t need to be getting all excited and sh*t at work
***high fives CHAMP***
I owe you a waffle for this one!
That video with Mr. Marcus is the truth by the way…
Slim, as a p0rn-oisseur, I will respectfully disagree…I am not a Mr. Marcus fan because he talks too much and that ever present baseball cap looks almost as foolish as he does without it…lol…but when “honey” was talking that sh*t and made him back up…I felt vagi-proud of her…cuz MM really needed to be sat down…I study her “work” for tips…but “hawking loogies” on the phallus can never be added to my arsenal…never!
“but “hawking loogies” on the phallus can never be added to my arsenal…never!”
Yeah…that ish is madd disgusting.
*throat punch*
““but “hawking loogies” on the phallus can never be added to my arsenal…never!”
Yeah…that ish is madd disgusting.
*throat punch*”
ummm…you all do realize that on the 10 point head scale, “hawking loogies” adds 1.75 points to your score, right?
like, without it, the best your head could possibly be is a 8.25. not even attempting to incorporate that in your routine basically insures that you’d never get a perfect score
I’ll gladly take the 8.25.
I can do other stuff to make up for the deduction.
Well now that you mention that it’s a 10, does it count that once one (not necessarily me) really gets going, the mouth becomes like a faucet and salivates profusely on its own, without the hawking. And also my sinuses seem to drain a lot, so sometimes I, I mean one, may have to hawk one by default.
…I shouldn’t have read this ^^^^ before going to get a refill. Now I’m walking around the office looking like Ron Burgandy.
“…I shouldn’t have read this ^^^^ before going to get a refill. Now I’m walking around the office looking like Ron Burgandy.”
walk it off, man. just walk it off…

**storing v renee’s email addy in my phone**
dude! loogies! no fuggin way! I think a complete lack of gag reflex (except for dry heaves at the thought of loogie-ness) will recoup the other 1.75pts…in my mind there are many different routines that generate a “perfect” score, you know like the floor exercises in gymnastics at the Olympics and sh1t…and if loogie-less head can keep a good girl down…(pun intended) then I will have to rock the silver medal with pride…eff that!
Loogies + no gag reflex + fallatial acrobatics = Flowers sent to your job on every holiday and on-demand foot rubs
you learn something new errry day…..LMAO….but then again I am a BAC head giver…Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas….LMAO
“I am a BAC head giver…Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas….”
I say this with love…you should be banned.
I know I know… but I am making progress.. I didnt even give head before I got married and i have a terrific gag reflex…..so you know everythang at for everybody but I must say I am very creative in my attempts to make up for my shortcomings…LOL
LMAO @ BAC! that is hilarious! i mean…not for the dude with the dry dack, but for me it is!
I am a BAC head giver…Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas….LMAO
RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!
***wildly throwing throat punches in windmill fashion***
Shady, where do you stay? I am coming to do a workshop for you! BAC HEAD is grounds for divorce! LOL
***I’m joking… I e-love you… but I really will do a wrokship for you…lol***
Yeah Shay-D we’re gonna put together a workshop, just for you, sis.
LOL….I live in Memphis TN baby….Oral s.e.x just caught on in the hood about 8 years ago. I am trying to catch up. I am attacking the problem like I do all things. Studying different methods and techniques, taking notes, trying them out etc. Its a slow going but I am making progress. Pretty soon I will be ahead of the class….LMAO
Corny I know but hey they cant all be gems!
“I live in Memphis TN baby….Oral s.e.x just caught on in the hood about 8 years ago.”
What!?!?! Maybe the women I knew from back home started early…cause I know madd chicks who was giving cerebral resuscitation before 2000…
“I am a BAC head giver…Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas….LMAO”
Wow!! Do you expect the return more often or are you cool 3/365 days?
LOL I dont expect him to do any less or more than I do..anything above and beyond is on him not at my request….Thats why our relationship works so well
“but “hawking loogies” on the phallus can never be added to my arsenal…never!”
amen amen!
I think spitting at anytime during s.e.x is disgusting.. I once had a dude attempt to spit on his joint and insert…I almost broke my arm jumping up off the bed…H.e.ll To the Naw…my motto if you spittin…you aint hittin…!!!
” I once had a dude attempt to spit on his joint and insert”
I think we dated the same kat. I almost kicked him in his throat. I sat up and asked him, “that fcuk you think this is, don’t spit on me, bytch.”
Needless to say, he wasn’t invited back.
LMBAO!!!
“I think spitting at anytime during s.e.x is disgusting.. I once had a dude attempt to spit on his joint and insert…I almost broke my arm jumping up off the bed…H.e.ll To the Naw…my motto if you spittin…you aint hittin…!”
hmmmm. i think i might need to repost my “how to have great sex” entry.
Nah, you don’t. We’re good.
Like I tell my potentials, “I have the P, I make the rules”.
“I have the P, I make the rules”.
I saw that on a tshirt at Spencer’s gifts once…
I havent read that one..that was before I found this site…..so you list spitting as part of great s.e.x? pulling out my Al bundy t shirt….No MA’AM!

here you go. read and learn and sh*t
umm I dont understand what checking my ego and paying attention have to do with spitting?
“umm I dont understand what checking my ego and paying attention have to do with spitting?”
“checking your ego” means not saying “ewww” and “gross” at the suggestion of some liberal saliva use.
I beg to differ its not my ego its my preference. now if you like to be spit on thats fine but just because I disagree does not mean its an ego issue. I am willing to spit on someone if thats what they like. Also the words I used were “he-ll to the naw, and disgusting”.. I shun your attempt at making my preference seem childish by saying I used “ewwww and gross” LMAO
I think spitting at anytime during s.e.x is disgusting..
***blows referee whistle/throws flag*** 30 yard penalty…face mask…holding…something like that!! no ma’am…there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with spit itself…it’s the delivery of said spit that is the point of contention here…hawling a loogy is fuggin gross…while using your God given talents to apply the mouth gravy is perfectly acceptable…for example…a brother attempts to spit on the nookie versus a brother that kisses “her” hello…different approach…same result…except the licka get to hit…and the spitta get hit! you feel me?
You’re better than me.
That’s what they make the “kay why” for.
Mmmkay thanks!
We are on the same page!!! Keep your spit to yourself. Excessive spitting is gross whether it be kissing (exchanging lots of spit while kissing is extremely gross) or getting a little connie….now I understand that lubrication is essential when giving a little knowledge but when it comes to me as a woman I cant think of one reason dude needs to spit on me. not one
I ain’t say excessive spitting…but it’s important..kay why” isn’t always c0ndom compatible and it stains my ridiculously high thread count sheets! Even though I sell intimate accessories, I don’t really use them…I prefer to do the natural, naturally…well w/ baby batter catchers of course, but you get the point!
wow, goodie! that was chock full o’ euphemism!
i need to stop reading this blog at work, especially while fully hydrated and eating carrots.
I agree that the scene with Mr. Marcus wasn’t all that great. I’ve seen normal porn stars give better performances than hers. And as I’ve stated before – I’ve seen MM have to back it up quite a few times. To phuck as much as he does, his tolerance isn’t too high.
“hawking loogies” seems to have become a porn standard now a days. Im with miss t-lee, I think a throat punch is neccessary for whoever made that the standard.
Along with the baby oil and the madatory poo punch.
You knah mean?!
You can tell pern is made for dudes, cause we wouldn’t dream up a 1/4 of the ish they do.
I’ve never been so happy to see people respectfully disagree.lol. It was well worth the mountain dew that’s now on my computer screen…and no, that’s not a metaphor for anything.
but having seen the video..I am a novice by my own admission but she seemed to be doing a dayum good job. I am sorry I dont have enough hand eye mouth coordination to pull that sh!t off.. I give her props
Shady…you need more people…lol…I think she performed the standard slob knobbery expected of her…but there wasn’t really anything SUPER about her HEAD to me…
SMH sadly… I do need more people…..my poor husband!!! He must really love me!!!
yes…he must…and this is me hating… >:( … ok I’m done now…you may return to your regularly scheduled program…
“Yes, they can heal the world. Even make it a better place…for you and for me.”
I’m just upset you quoted Michael Jackson and tried to hip us to the plight of the video h*e.
A resounding GTFOH from me.
::2 fingers::
U’re forgettin sumthin, T-Lee. A punch to the esophagus area, maybe?
I can’t throat punch P-Money.
Not today at least.
Thanks for the laughs early this morning.
No other comments on the subject. I will keep them all to myself…lol
Absolutely hilarious post PJ…made me crack a smile this morning!
thank you kindly.
once again PJ has banged out a topic, outside the box, that while hilarious, touches on serious issues.
i don’t have a problem per se with the women in the video. my problem is the way we allow these punk a$$ execs of these SO called record companies to put this mess out.
somewhere along the way we let music get out of hand, and call a women a b*tch, or h*e, and now that ish gets a pass. i for one don’t even give my money to these industry nuttsacks. i keeps my greenbacks waaay back. plus, all this garbage perpetuates a cycle of kids thinking all that garbage portrayed is reality.
knowhuti’msayin’
“my problem is the way we allow these punk a$$ execs of these SO called record companies to put this mess out.”
thing is…they wouldn’t be putting this stuff out if there wasn’t a market for it. as much as i’d love to blame the higher ups, we need to take responsibility for that ourselves
agreed 157%. we have HUGE power with our spending…let the revolution begin!!!!
can I get an Amen!! They are putting out what sells.. If you have a problem with it, stop buying it. Dont buy it and then claim the record exec made you do it. I mean if Lupe is the truth why hasnt he sold a million records? I have said it before and I will say it yet again. Lil Wayne sold a million in a week. He did not sell that million to hood ninjas (who by the way bought the bootleg). He sold that joint to all the edumacated black people who say the love lupe and common and all that by day and are “licking the rapper” at night.
Actually, I think Lil Wayne sold most of those to the “pink” kids in the burbs. The cd’s Lupe sold was to us edumacted folks.
I lurv Lupe. Wore that last CD out. Drove my teens nutts. hee hee
the market isn’t just black folks though… plenty of white boys seem to think (and i’m not sure why) that they are gangsta… (images of scott storch in my head… barfing…) – and the power of the white frat boy’s dollar is real.
i just wish that the young black women who end up in videos are shown as girls that they don’t have to exploit their bodies to be successful – the children being the future and all of that. i mean, they look hot, but being thought of as a prostitute for the rest of your life, true or not, cannot be good for the soul… then again, if you go the professional route you could end up being labelled a “bitter over-qualified black woman”. le sigh. maybe i really should go be a video vixen.
“the market isn’t just black folks though… plenty of white boys seem to think (and i’m not sure why) that they are gangsta… (images of scott storch in my head… barfing…) – and the power of the white frat boy’s dollar is real. ”
Exactly. These folks are the biggest consumers of the rap/hip-hop.
These rappers ain’t going double/triple platinum just from the Black community.
Trust and Believe.
that may be true but we are a huge part of the market. Own up to the fact that we (black people) are buying this sh!t. White people are imitating our taste..not the other way around
“i just wish that the young black women who end up in videos are shown as girls that they don’t have to exploit their bodies to be successful – the children being the future and all of that.”
i agree in theory, but, practically speaking, everybody isnt built to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. for alot of people, their bodies are really all they hafta offer. i know its not the most PC thing to say, but its true.
bwhahahahaha that’s wrong though…. tell me why i just got a visual of mr. champ, fifth grade teacher, at a parent-teacher meeting:
“well, your daughter vanessa isn’t much good at reading, writing or arithmetic… however, when she bends over in gym class, i begin to see her potential…”
to be fair, not everyone has the smart genes, and making money shaking azz in a video would probably make more money than working at a corner store (i have no statistics to back this up). but not all video ho*s can be that dumb though, if they manage to work that to get book deals and shit.
“but not all video ho*s can be that dumb though, if they manage to work that to get book deals and shit.”
thing is, in theory, wouldn’t that be the ultimate ideal of feminism? women who willfully choose to exploit themselves, despite the fact that they are aware of easily accessible choices
can’t he at least be a college professor? fifth grade dawg? *gagging*
How can you think this and then pose the question below which assumes these women have to ability to do something else but choose to be video “models”
honestly though, and this is a “bigger” question, but why is using your body f0r personal gain so much worse than using your mind? i mean, theyre both your God-given possessions, so how is the use of one of them given the side eye
i guess cos you can’t sell brains on the corner. philosophers back in the day like plato and aristotle and shit always placed intellectual prowess over the pleasures of the body…. generally, your intelligence lasts longer than your body does, and it’s what’s given us all the amazing science, technology, literature, music and whatnot that indicate that our species is worth a damn. azz, despite its general amazingness, has sadly not contributed anything that humans, as a whole, consider to be a legacy (as far as i know… please correct me if i’m wrong).
I’m in total agreeance with this. I’m not relieving the decision makers or the artists of any responsibility but with any business, if there’s no market or consumers, the business either goes out of business or make drastic changes to regain its consumers. Many of folks over 25 don’t watch BET anymore, but when you think about it, a lot of the programming isn’t geared towards that demographic. Maybe that’s why you’re not a fan of the videos or the other shows. Just a thought…
Kind of off topic (but not really), I hear a lot of people SAY that they don’t like BET and they don’t watch it any more, yet they’re the same ones who can give you a play-by-play of the BET Awards the day after. Or say that they didn’t like the awards. Gee, you must’ve been watching it enough to form an opinion about it. People will say that they don’t watch videos no more because it’s the same ol’ cliche’s in them, yet they talk about seeing the same girls in videos and talk about other aspects of certain clips.
My question: If you REALLY don’t watch it anymore, how would you know what’s going on in it?
AHHH Mr. Monk… a subject upon which we are in much agreement……
ok…Im on the DART minding my beusiness and I was so ed and called to action by you Democratic Party-esque “Skank of the Union” address…that I began to actually almost a little bit (on Thursdays between 8 and 815am) see your point! then in an Obama-tic fit, I stood up and shouted YES WE CAN!! regained composure and read the question at the end… what have I done? I aint done nothing… so I have decided to awaken my inner Harriett Tubman and create a sophisticated underground railroad to smuggle these nut snugglers to freedom…but I am having trouble deciding where they will really be free… when u remove a being from its natural habitat, does it continue its natural activities? if u remove the video from the ho*…can u remove the ho* from the video? I forgot where I was going with this…but it involved turtles neck, chewable Flintstone vitamins and bus passes…adult ADHD strikes again!
i apologize. i think i might have kept you in the corner too long. you’re getting delirious and sh*t.
i’m sorry
I just said “smuggle these nut snugglers” four times fast, cackled, and spilled my tea. It’s gonna be a great day.
“nut snugglers” is now my favorite thing to call people…
absolutely brilliant term, i agree!
Shatani and Boogie…ya’ll got me blushing over here…ever seen a red girl turn red? lol
“…so what exactly did the chics in the Tip Drill video do for this country, cause I’m still trying to figure that sh!t out.”
They taught me that I don’t have to bring cash to the booty bar anymore. I can just slide my ATM card down the crack of a random chick’s @ss, anytime I want a lap dance. This has made my strip club experience more convenient!!! Now if I can only get these “tire tracks” off my darn ATM card . . .
“I can just slide my ATM card down the crack of a random chick’s @ss, anytime I want a lap dance.”
well I’m working on a merchant booty crack credit card machine…so the next azz you swipe might be a legitimate transaction..just watch yourself
“tire tracks” off my darn ATM card . . .
Just nasty. ::shaking my head::
lol
Now if I can only get these “tire tracks” off my darn ATM card . . .
d@mmit eff-yo…now I smell dookie! DOOOOOKIE!!!
I tell you what eff yo…you go from coochie hairs on soap to doo doo brown on ATM cards. What next????
This is HILARIOUS!!
to be a ho, or not to be a ho…
like GK says we all hos, we just got different prices. video ho, scholastic ass ho, lmao that one got me
the reason anybody calls an attractive girl a ho is because she is attractive and they arent. period. i consider myself attractive (a new development) and as of late i could care less whos who long as it dont take food out of my mouth… video ho’s give plain mofos something to aspire to, and they have also reset the standard for beauty in the hood. where if you didnt look like tracey edmonds you were considered ugly, a big butt and a smile gets you compliments now… think about the positive, people!
“and they have also reset the standard for beauty in the hood”
interesting viewpoint and sh*t
“a big butt and a smile gets you compliments now…”
I don’t know…where I’m from a big butt and a smile ALWAYS got a woman compliments…along with an offer of dinner and a movie if she was receptive to said compliments.
I dont think so.. I have been blessed and cursed with a big butt all my life… and it has always gotten attention. The hourglass shape has always been the sh!t in the hood.
It’s a blessing and a curse. I tell my peeps this daily..lol
Shay-d-lady, I see we are from the same city. So my statement reigns true!
H3ll, I’m actually wearing a t-shirt under my button-down that says “I heart big butts & a smile…and sour patch kids”
can you direct me to a web site where I can buy said t-shirt? LMAO
on a side note… having been involved in the music industry a few years ago, it’s just amazing to see how quickly a market can be flooded. nowadays, everyone is an aspiring rapper, singer, etc. and i’m starting to see more & more girls caught up in the “urban modeling” thing. traditionally they wouldn’t be considered real models, but their “assets” open up doors for them in the hip hop industry. sure, you can say it’s creating jobs & opportunities, but there are few true success stories & too many who get caught up in the b.s. for every aspiring rapper you see on myspace, there is an aspiring “model/actress.” and most video h*es don’t consider themselves models, but rather actresses who are just building their resumes. really?!
if i had a dollar for every chick i personally know whos lists “urban model” as a side gig, i’d have like enough dollars to buy a nice breakfast or something
enough for that grand slam at Dennys, Champ??
basically
yeah, working at a club, i meet more “urban models” than i can shake a stick at.
which is to say, too many.
pretty sure you racked up some hell points with this one. LOL. Good job.
WD…hell points?? I love it…is it like the Chuck E Cheese ticket redemption counter where the more points you get the bigger your “prize” or in this case the better your accomdations in h2ll?? at the rate I’m going…I will be in a VIP condo on the trendy side of town with central heat and hard wood floors! lol…sorry…adult ADHD again…
Lololol one of my girls is so outrageous with her Hell Points we have told her she has already earned a ceiling fan.
dang, Goodie! if you gon’ have central air, youre gonna be the most popular chick in hell!
in my case, it’s the guarantee that i’ll not only go to hell, but give tours and own flame-front property next to beelzebub.
Wise Diva, this is a masterpiece work put together by Petey Jakes here. This is really gospel…and in the most non-homo way, he touched my heart and shyt with this one.

video ho’s can have hurricanes named after them. WTF kinda trick logic is this.
Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston ), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names. She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaqueal, and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!
She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in ‘language’ that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn ‘t understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.
I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, thats too hard to understand. I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says…
Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin’ fo’ yo ass like Leroy on a crotch rocket! Bitch be a category fo’! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo’ chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo’ de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE sh*t!
Goody Houston got some splaining to do…
we now return u to ur regularly scheduled programming.
back to u P.
Now see.. I have to unfairly deal with the angry black woman stereotype because of congressional h*s like that….. It makes me want to drive to Texas and beat her mercilessly with “The baby name” book
Sheila Jackson Lee–she had my props for years, until she came out with this.
thing is…i’m fairly fairly sure this is very old anyway. i think this first came to light back in like 2001 or 2002 anyway.
then again, we got katrina…lol. case closed.
P says:
“…then again, we got katrina…lol. case closed.”
i got a new neighbor who is from Baton Rouge La. her name is Katrina of course i call her hurricane.
…and from what i hear the latest news (heresay) is that theNAACP is protesting outside the offices of the National Hurricane Center.
http://www.dailyredundancy.com/archives/1118.html
trying to confirm now…
yeah…this is old news. from 2003
lol…and a fake link
Yeah it’s old news. I’m just saying I was riding with her, until she started backing nonsense.
GK…Sheila Jackson Lee is a mess…I used to PASSIONATELY support her…but as of late she has become quite Sharpton-ish to me and I separate my race from her…she has been Michael Jackson’d…Black…but not really…ok ok ok I won’t go that far…but she reallyhas been hanging around too many “yes” (wo)men…somebody should have stopped her…now…all of the good work that she has done (or will attempt to do do in the future) will be tainted by this BULLSH1T..
***FYI – GOOD went to college in the “H” but is from Dallas…so you will have to commentary on SJL’s most recent shenanigans from the actual Houstonians…***
sorry luv i forgot u were in Dallas not Houston.
…but this is gonna make the dems look super stupid. i think she was supporting Hillary initially. anyways every angle u look at this, it looks goofy.
its a shame when our former leaders start down this path….Sharpton, Jesse, etc..however I must say this HBO has a documentary called The black list. Al Sharpton and a lot of prominent blacks from different fields were interviewed. It was really good and Al made some good points.
im playing devils advocate…on the surface it sounds ridiculous but when you think about it, I’ve heard storms named after other ethnicities: wasn’t Felix a heavy hitter once?
And since storms were named after women up until the late 70s and now are inclusive of men and women. Maybe Jackson-Lee is focusing on its symbolism. If nature can incorporate every possible ethnicity and naming convention except for “black names”..maybe naming storms from black folks is the next logical step.
but “black names” are hard. Is she going for historical references or actual “black names”.
maybe she’s really tryna get deep on some farmer’s almanac type stuff. Wasn’t Banneker the first weather man. You never what the actual intent is and where she’s gonig with this.
here is the problem I have with “black” names or giving people “black passes”. The things that are normally given the sole identity of being “black” are normally ghetto and reinforce the negative stereotypes associated with black people. The are also given this status by black people. So you cant in one breath argue that we should name storms “black” sounding names and then get made when people make comments like “you are so articulate, well read” etc when you yourself participate in creating and reinforcing the negative stereotypes.
see response to gk
Comeback baby, i’m sorry but don’t we have wayyyy wayyyyy better sh*t to be focused on especially during the bid of the 1st viable black pres. candidate.
…and if security for the hood is at the essence of this fuc*ery then wouldn’t it be better to set up shop in the hood and teach english versus name hurricanes after stereotypical black names so ghetto folk could comprehend the gravity of an impending storm. is it plausible that naming the storm stereotypical black names will save lives?
this some stupid sh*t, right in the middle of a historical presidential campaign.
But this story has been brewing since 2003. So whose bringing the fuc*ery ? If it is or isn’t that serious, I have this mind trick I do where I can synthesize lots of information at once – thats apart of being an adult and having A.D.D lol. So no, this doesn’t distract me at all from the current election.
And maybe it is very telling for black people who think two syllable names like Keisha or Jerome are ghetto.
Combabck responds:
“But this story has been brewing since 2003. So whose bringing the fuc*ery ?”
A: Sheila Jackson Lee is bringing the fuc*ery and the media especially if she decides to continue or they decide to over-report such an important issue in 08.
Comeback points out:
“And maybe it is very telling for black people who think two syllable names like Keisha or Jerome are ghetto.”
its not about the name which is exactly my point in the first place. the danger is knowing the hurricane is near and saving lives. i’m not convinced that broadcasting in “laguage” that street people can understand or naming hurricanes “that reflect African-American culture.” (ghetto, two syllabled or not)
who really cares what they are naming hurricanes. i guess Sheila Jackson Lee and…
i don’t recall this argument for naming hurricanes before. it did begin yrs ago. …an old story lets hope she or the media doesn’t shake off the dust on.
I find it quite suspect that you used Keisha and Jerome to make your point and left out Deshawn….
Throws Shade:
“I find it quite suspect that you used Keisha and Jerome to make your point and left out Deshawn….”
heh, heh, heh, (inhales) whooooooo!
i didn’t write the comment i posted. i should’ve noted that it was an anonymous quote. anyways i tried to go thru and clean up the expletives and didn’t do a good job with that either.
from what i hear: (heresay) “A civil rights group (NAACP) protested outside the offices of the National Hurricane Center today over what it claims is a disparity in the organization’s storm naming process.”
it’s heating back up at what i see as an inoppurtune time. (hmmmm) i wonder what our Presidential candidates think about the argument. …or is it even important enough to consider at this time?
heh, he, heh (inhales) whoooooo!
http://www.dailyredundancy.com/archives/1118.html
ok Deshawn too..its two syllables. I can easily spell it. No hypens, colons or apostrophes.
I might take exception to hurricane Man Man, Stank, and Boo. But I dont think those made ths short list.
Hurricane Man Man.
u so crazy. LOL!
the begnning of a whole line of African American named hurricane t-shirts.
i just wanna see u in 1.
LOL!
This is both uproariously funny and depressingly sad at the same time. Makes me want to sprinkle some baby powder and start smacking mo-fos.
There should be a moratorium on all black people mentioning race until Obama is safely in office.
“There should be a moratorium on all black people mentioning race until Obama is safely in office.
I feel you!!! I told my homeboy that they should all be quarantined somewhere and not allowed to see the light of day until the Inauguration
I ain’t need to read this today…because I live in this fool’s congressional district unfortunately…and so does my co-worker…who despises her as much as I do. I need to get a few folk together and find somebody to run against her…because she is a bonafide f*cktard of the highest order.
“bonafide f*cktard”
JBoogie…really? I am really working on that dance…this sh1t was hilarious!!
And I’m still waiting on it, boo! LOL
“bonafide f*cktard”
ima call somebody this within the next 24 hrs. promise. LOL!
lets also note too, that right or wrong, most every profession has a stereotype so unless you are going to also argue that it is unfair that used car salesmen get unfairly labeled as liars and male ice skaters are labeled as g.a.y….then you have to drop the argument. I mean its always been true that the actions of a few determine the perception of many, good or bad.
I just want to shout out my frat the Back Wudz, for using an excellent sample from the original Dream Girls. That beat was ridiculous.
Back Wudz…Greek….? Which org? This I gotta know…
You didn’t see them throwing up that good Blue Phi all through the video? And the dude had a para shirt on at the end lol
I’ve heard the song, but I didn’t know those dudes were frat! ‘course, I don’t watch many vids anymore…
I’m about to walk out of my j-o-b right now and go buy me a sexy little outfit because you’ve inspired me to become a video ho*. Thank you and be looking out for my next video it should be playing on BET about 1am in a few weeks. I will be the one bent over on the car with 2 or 3 guys slapping that a** so that I can better the world I live in and make my daddy proud!
sweet. we aspire to provide aspirations here.
Love it mayne!!!
I wonder how many of the irate posters watch ANTM religiously?
HMMM, on some, “oh that’s different”
smh
ive never seen an ATM card slide down the crack of any of America’s Next Top Models azz…
maybe i missed that episode.
Valid question.
I think my main question is why go the route of video ho? I mean, they would probably make a lot more money and still get to rock the same outfit if they were just straight up strippers. Honestly, $2 an hour? shoot, you make more just baggin groceries!
Lauren London is laughing at you
should i google this person?
Halle Berry, too…only louder.
oh, i see…i suppose Lisa Raye might laugh as well??
i dont think every woman in a video is necessarily a video ho. can we name any of the ‘tip drill’ women who are laughing?
“can we name any of the ‘tip drill’ women who are laughing?”
i’m sure white chocolate is somewhere chuckling right now.
Yeah…unfortunately with a couple of my ones hanging off of her g-string…
White Chizzy is probably laughin’ REAL hard actually. She’s been caked up.
LOL @ you using Tip Drill as the standard by which all video ho*s are measured. The video wasn’t shown before 1am on any station, and mainly gained national notoriety through the internet. In fact Benny Boom didn’t even want to sign his name to the project so he used an alias because it was so raunchy. While the video holds a special place in my heart (I miss college), it is by far the extreme exception and not the norm. Most run of the mill music videos have either A. well known girls like Keri Hilson, Lauren London, Esther Baxter…etc or B. up and coming girls who end up being Keri Hilson, Lauren London…etc.
Even the the come out the pool dripping wet videos have girls like Melissa Ford (shout out to Jadakiss on that choice), Bria Myles and a host of other ladies who are all laughing at you.
i guess youre missing my point that a woman in a video doesnt equal video ho….ah, well!
I think we are saying that videos like that have a lot to do with the negativity associated with being a video h*. Again its the actions of a few forming the perception of many. I dont think that anybody on this site is calling all women in videos video h*….most only add the hotachment when referring to the shake that monkey, tip drill, what that thang smell like joints….
Dorian G,
Great point. “Tip Drill” isn’t the end all of music videos and like I said before, those girls are strippers and shouldn’t be confused with music video models (unless they do both).
do they really only earn $2 an hour? forget a union, these women need government intervention on this shit, a new welfare programme or something.
I completely agree with your latest diatribes…Panama, you’re 2 for 2 this week. Good form.
While traveling for the business trip I’m on, I decided that I was gonna blog about a tribute to jump offs and the good they do in the world (the next episode to be aired my blog). This post is in the same vein.
LMAO!
thanks and i’ll look out for it…
im traveling too right now…still out in Cali which is where ive found all kinds of blog fodder.
blog posted fyi…
an ode to jump-offs by cornell westside lol

attempt on Baraks life in Denver. guys from kansas
stay tuned…
possible assasination attempt
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1f3_1219729249
yeah…i read about that yesterday. just a bunch of crackheads who probably couldnt put together a plan to buy a quarter pounder value meal, much less get a shot at barack
yeah Champ look for the crazies to get ramped up. unfortunately people don’t need smarts to kill/assasinate someone and like terrorist bombers they don’t really expect to get away.
…and Barak is just now getting the formal nod not even the presidency. no one is untouchable. this pres. race is going to illuminate how divided we are as a country especially on race. remember the feeling the nation had after the O.J. verdict. those same emotions are about to manifest and be uncovered.
McCains’ arse is not safe either. fanatical terrorist are checking for him too. everbody pretending like our nation is past race and acting like if we don’t acknowledge past racism, it will not continue. …as if racism is just a thing of the past. au contraire.
if Barak becomes President many white folk will use it as a platform to claim that racism is dead: how else could a black man have risen to the highest office in the land. damed if we do damned if we don’t. i’m writing my treatise now.
the news is not playing this story up and i’m sure it’s a concerted effort. maybe it’s not news but downplaying it wont make it go away.
I totally agree with you GK… Chris rock made a point on the black list which was…we consider integration and racism gone when our best of the best infiltrate the rinks. That’s not equality. We have not received equality until we have the ability to equally suck….for example Barrack is a well educated, articulate senator with dreams of change. He should be a presidential nominee…we wont have really received equal footing until blacks can have the equivalent of George bush running. As long as we have to work twice as hard and be twice as good and dont get the luxury of failing and coming back, racism is not dead.
that is an excellent point!
What is funny is that 85% of the female ‘singers’ (I use that term loosely) are video ho*s with a deal, they do the same antics and are sometimes come off worse than the video ho*s because they are the focal point as opposed to being the backdrop….
You talking about Cassie? lol
EXACTLY! lol
And Ashanti, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears
Really all over the spectrum of color and talent level.
***Turning down “Long Way To Go” on my radio***
Cassie is someone’s Muse …she’s not a a video h%o.
Is someone code for “Diddy”?
i think she’s a dual purpose muse: Diddy and Ryan Leslie.
Hey “me and you” could make me find the cure for the common cold.
“Cassie is someone’s Muse …she’s not a a video h%o.”
She’s Diddy’s jump off, but if you wanna say muse, go for it…lol
but see in her video Cassie was not showing video h’* antics.. she danced but it wasnt lewd or vulgar she considered a h* because of her rumored personal shenanigans not because of her image.. so she can just be called a h* but not a video h*….
but see in her video Cassie was not showing video h’* antics.. she danced but it wasnt lewd or vulgar she considered a h* because of her rumored personal shenanigans not because of her image.. so she can just be called a h* but not a video h*….
i for one think video ho*s need a smack in the mouf. i mean, if not for them i wouldn’t have guys expecting me to bend over and make my ass clap.
wait…that’s the strippers’ fault.
This is the most entertaining bit of blog reading I have read in quite some time. And for the sake of arguing, I too believe in the vid ho, may she cont. inspiring others persue their dreams!! lol
This is insane..lol I’d LOVE to take a walk around your mind sometime..to see what else you have up there in those dark corners..lol Even though your topics are..”strangely interesting” you always seem to make it make sense…so Kudos for that homie!
Video ho*s are just trying to make money just like everyone else..if they want to be seen in a negative light..so be it.
Who am I to judge what they do..yanno?
ive decided imma drop outta school and work hard to become a video chick….i think i can do it. just gimme like 3 years!
