- Illiterate grotesque “artists” and their song lyrics celebrated

AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL
Sunday night’s “Grammy Awards” show had something for everyone.
I hope you didn’t miss the “Grammy”: America’s “Culture” was on display!
Here are some of the many ‘great moments’ from what USA Today reported:
Lil Baby performs ‘The Bigger Picture,’ calls out Biden, police brutality
Lil Baby and Killer Mike’s fiery performance of “Bigger Picture” included a staged police shooting of a Black man (played by Kendrick Sampson), imagery from Black Lives Matter protests, a direct callout to President Joe Biden by activist Tamika Mallory, and narration by James Baldwin, capped by a haunting fireworks display. On a night with a generally relaxed, uncontroversial vibe, it was by far the most openly political performance.

Trevor Noah (If you don’t know who he is, you’re better off for it) Was the Emcee for this glorious event…and was he ever funny.
In introducing the ‘many awards-winning’ rap song by the lovely Cardi B and this year’s ‘hot chick’, Megan Thee Stallion, Noah said: “We’re all going to find out what ‘WAP’ stands for. If you have small children in the room, just tell them “it’s a story about a cat taking a bath.” (For you adults who don’t know what the song’s initials stand for…”Wet Ass Pussy”…clever, huh?:
Megan Thee Stallion* and Cardi B* bring ‘WAP’ to life
Megan Thee Stallion won three Grammys, including best new artist, and was nearly bowled over by Beyonce’s unexpected appearance to help her accept the award for best rap song for “Savage.” But she really stole the show with Cardi B for a live, electrifying performance of their hit “WAP” that featured backup dancers painted blue, a giant platform heel, a giant bed and dance moves that defied gravity. (“Dance moves” that defied gravity”…gee, sorry I missed that!) dlh

“Stallion’s” award winning rap this year is entitled “Savage”. Maybe not as clever and amusing as WAP, the lyrics are still ‘warm and loving’. Our previous commentaries on Cardi-b and WAP (including lyrics) are available here and here:
SAVAGE (lyrics excerpt):
I’m that bitch (yeah)
Been that bitch, still that bitch (ah)
Will forever be that bitch (forever be that bitch)
Yeah (ayy, ha)
I’m the hood Mona Lisa, break a nigga into pieces
Had to X some cheesy niggas out my circle like a pizza (yeah)
I’m way too exclusive, I don’t shop on Insta’ boutiques
All them lil’ ass clothes only fit fake booties
Bad bitch, still talking cash shit
Pussy like water, I’m unbothered and relaxing
I would never trip on a nigga if I had him
Bitch, that’s my trash, you the maid, so you bagged him, ah
I’m a savage (yeah)
Classy, bougie, ratchet (yeah)
Sassy, moody, nasty (hey, hey, yeah)
Acting stupid, what’s happening? Bitch (whoa, whoa)
What’s happening? Bitch (whoa, whoa)
I’m a savage, yeah
Classy, bougie, ratchet, yeah
Sassy, moody, nasty, huh
Acting stupid, what’s happening? Bitch
What’s happening? (Ayy, ah)
Eat me and record it, but your edge-up all I’m showing (ah)
I keep my niggas private, so his AP all I’m showing (baow)
Beefing with you bitches really getting kinda boring
If it ain’t about the money, then you know I’m gon’ ignore it
I’m the shit, ooh (ayy)
I need a mop to clean the floor, it’s too much drip, ooh (too much drip, ooh)
“Da Baby’s *#1 Hit!?
Number 10. DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch, ‘Rockstar’
Points for trying something different. DaBaby turned his No. 1 hit on its head by bringing in a “Judge Judy”-esque gospel choir and violinist for a dramatic performance.
Lyrics excerpt:
I got a big drum, it hold a hundred, ain’t goin’ for nothin’
I’m ready to air it out on all these niggas, I can see ’em runnin’
Just talked to my mama, she hit me on FaceTime just to check up on me and my brother
I’m really the baby, she know that her youngest son was always guaranteed to get the money (Okay, let’s go)
She know that her baby boy was always guaranteed to get the loot
She know what I do, she know ‘fore I run from a nigga, I’ma pull it out and shoot (Boom)
PTSD, I’m always waking up in cold sweats like I got the flu
My daughter a G, she saw me kill a nigga in front of her before the age of two
And I’ll kill another nigga too
‘Fore I let another nigga do somethin’ to you
Long as you know that, don’t let nobody tell you different
Daddy love you (Yeah, yeah)
*We presume their parents did not supply the stage name but regardless their chosen monikers are illiterate along with their lyrics and sophomoric musicology. Indeed could any of these cultural icons pass a literacy test . . . do something other than gyrate to gibberish? To use the educrat bureaucratese, they ought to be classified as ESL – English Second Language. To be sure, they suffer from something “endemic” and “structural” and “systemic” — low expectations and liberalism’s many other corruptions. Horrifyingly their fans can’t be much better. R Mall
