Musical Desires

This new post is inspired by a song I heard last night called motivation by Kelly Rowland ft Lil wayne. I have been feeling like some songs are definitely taking the listener into  a different realm and encouraging certain actions. I  listen to the lyrics of most of these songs but for some reason Kelly's song defo takes the cake on this one.To kick off the song she says 'oh lover don't you dare slow down, go longer you can last more rounds.Push harder, You're almost there now'. I dont know about you but there is only one thing that she can be talking about. She sure is not talking about a boxing bout and you can even see that she is warning him not to even try and dull her parole. She goes on to sing 'go lover, make mama proud.I dont wanna feel my legs'.Her desires have been laid bare with tha last request of hers. This song will be heard by a lot of minors and it is tantamount to actually telling us a sexual experience of hers. I'm not offended but  I feel that music is going down a path where soon the producer will make a beat and all the artiste will do is to moan over the beat so that they can actually get the listener to that 'zone' that they want us to go to.
She is not the only one that uses this technique to sell songs. The one and only trey songz is also guilty of 'sexifying' music. He is just the craziest man out there. Boasting about his prowess, trying to show girls his invention and ensuring that his name is entered into the heads of those who live around him. Is this really what music is about I say? Well music is about heart and If thats all that he is saying then yeah. On a different note if R kelly is the king of this, then keri hilson is the heir apparent. How can R Kelly, being a grown man that he is, pen that track that goes 'baby I just wanna get you pregnant'. How can he write this and it is accepted? Even if he is talking to his wife/girlfriend, is there really any need for us to  eavesdrop on the conversation or for us to be made aware of his plan to impregnate his wife.Nuff said. Keri Hilson must be the archetypal warri woman because she does not want to carry last on this issue o. She keeps releasing songs that blow your mind and calling her videos raunchy can never ever suffice.She sings 'tell me how you like it baby, do you want it fast or slow.Because i get so excited , when you're taking of my clothes'. She is defo ensuring that her inner freak indents on the track and truly wears her heart on her sleeve.

I don't have any beef with these musicians as they are very talented but I'm only questioning the direction that music is going to. That is why a pornstar called Brian Pumper can feel like it is okay for him to now become a rapper and he will then rap about what he knows best. I just think that if someone does not come out with 'Death of the too dirty Lyrics' (DOTTD) song, the boundaries of what you can say or what you can't say will continually be pushed. This has even been imbibed in Nigerian music as they too are feeling cocky enough to say whatever the hell they want. Master Flavour N'abania has a hit called Nwa baby. In this song he says 'nwa baby nyem ife gi'. This is ibo for baby girl, give me your thing/stuff. We must all get what he is asking for because it is not for her to give him her lace wrapper or so. Anyway, just like Wayne Rooney on the weekend, these musicians need to realise that their actions and songs are a motivation to a whole generation and will lead to a generation becoming freaks or perverts. If it is not thought about then we will tragically turn into a modern day sodom and gomorrah.

Ps:I didn't mention a thing about vybz kartel and all those dancehall/reggae guys. They are all bathing in the same aquas(to borrow a word from mr obaihiagbon) of lurid songs
