And the Oscar goes to.....

A bunch of whining pimps? Did I hear that correctly?
That's right, the Oscar winner for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures is none other than the ever-enriching and classic score titled, "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp".

Just to give you a small taste of Hollywood's latest touch of class here are a few lyrics from the song (BEWARE: the following content contains exclusively offensive material):

[Chorus] You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't knowin) When he tryin to get this money for the rent (you ain't knowin) For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't knowin) Because a whole lot of bitches talkin shit (you ain't knowin) Will have a whole lot of bitches talkin shit (you ain't knowin)

[Verse] Man it seems like I'm duckin dodgin bullets everyday Niggaz hatin on me cause I got, hoes on the tray But I gotta stay paid, gotta stay above water Couldn't keep up with my hoes, that's when shit got harder North Memphis where I'm from, I'm 7th Street bound Where niggaz all the time end up lost and never found Man these girls think we prove thangs, leave a big head They come hopin every night, they don't end up bein dead Wait I got a snow bunny, and a black girl too You pay the right price and they'll both do you That's the way the game goes, gotta keep it strictly pimpin Gotta have my hustle tight, makin change off these women, yeah

For a more truthful perspective on this song, check out this article, Pimp Pop Culture Brushes Aside Girls' Fate, in the Washington Post about real pimps and real VICTIMS of pimps. As the columnist observes:

Of course, songs and stories about black pimps are nothing new. But never before has the degradation of black women at the hands of stereotypically thuggish black men been so deeply engrained in popular culture. Through internationally marketed music videos, especially, African Americans have emerged as the only people on Earth who immortalize their mothers and sisters in the worst derogatory ways.

And this is hardly the beginning of a much more evil story about the thousands of women who are trafficked for sex around the world every day. Despite shameless advocates who claim to protect the "rights" of "sex workers" worldwide, the story of real pimping and real victims is nothing to celebrate. Let's not kid ourselves. No little girl aspires to be a prostitute. It is slavery of the worst kind because its proponents call it "liberation." Don't even get me started....
