Rappers and Black Women: Slim Thug and Talib Kweli

by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Syracuse University

A note to Slim Thug: You probably just need to be quiet for a while. It's not to say thatyour comments about black women were outside your rights to freedom of speech, but if you keep dissing the audience most likely to go out and buy your records, you are probably going to end up in the same poorhouse as MC Hammer. Don't get me wrong, black men love your music (at least I do), but the bottom line is that brothers don't buy albums, books, or anything else put up for sale. But when black women turn on you, it's a wrap son. Settle down and go back to the studio; it's good for your financial health.
I wrote yesterday about the comments made by Slim Thug regarding how he perceives white women to be a better dating choice than black women, as well asColumbia Professor Marc Lamont Hill'sresponse to Slim Thug's words. It seems that the debate has taken a life of it's own, now that rapper Talib Kweli has joined the conversation. In a recent essay he wrote for Vibe Magazine, Talib Kweli was ever the diplomatic artist, as he showed respect for Slim Thug, but also expressed his own concerns for his colleague's remarks about black women:

Chris Brown Gets Dropped from Endorsement Deal – More Money Gets Lost

Written by Ms. Taylor at YourBlackGossip.com.

The drama keeps piling up for Chris Brown not only is he looking at doing time in the pen but now he may be losing some money. Earlier today Wrigley's announced that they will be suspending Chris's Doublemint ads. They stated, "We have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved."

Well DAMN!!! Also it is now being reported that Chris did some serious damage to Rih Rih, giving her a busted nose, bruised lip, and contusions on her forehead. Now I am not to sure about those forehead contusions considering it was already massive, but I guess Chris don't be playing.
