We do love ignorance!

I can’t stand when I sing ignorant songs!! It’s the worst feeling when I catch myself and I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who does this. I try to make myself feel better by saying it’s just the beat….it’s catchy. And the ignorant music is all around me….in the car, on TV, in the student center, facebook pages…EVERYWHERE!

I am a little biased…. “Diva” is not ignorant! It might be because I’m one of Beyonce’s top ten fans (that’s my girl!) but I think that “Diva” is a solid record! I don’t know if I appreciate the criticism that you all are throwing her way! But it’s okay.

I think that Soulja Boy Tell em has put out the most ignorant songs in his short career span than anyone else. All of his records are terrible! Starting with “Crank That” he has gone on to make other ignorant songs like “Soulja Girl,” “Donk,” “Yah,” “Gucci Bandana,” and “Bird Walk.” Now he is gracing the world with “Turn My Swag On” [I feel embarrassed to even remember the titles of these horrible songs!] I have to admit that I know a lot of the words to these songs but its only because the radio loves Soulja Boy!!!

What amazes me is that young children know every word to Soulja Boy’s songs. During my spring break, I traveled to Atlanta with a seven year old and three year old, both boys. During the drive down there the 7 year old listened to “Turn My Swag On” at least 100 times, it was sickening because he knew every word!! The three year old told me not to call him by his real name but to call him Soulja Boy! He told me to call his grandfather Rick Ross, his uncle Young Jeezy and his brother Gucci Mane! He is three!! Why does he know this? God bless the children….and the ignorant music makers! And leave Bey alone!!
