rappers using physical violence as a metaphor for being great at sex is really creepy

i'm sure rappers have been doing this since the beginning of time but i feel like i can't hear a rap song on the radio right now w/o someone doing this & i feel like the imagery is getting increasingly creepier?

two examples that made me start this thread

fabolous - "you be killin em"

"but he ain't beat it up / i assault her"

wiz khalifa - "roll up"

"if you rolling, i got a spot where i can put you on this medical / and send you home doctored up" (actually granted this one might be/is probably about weed? who knows with this guy tho)

& then there's this

idk maybe i'm making too big a deal of this but it's v weird to me & i feel like in rappers continuous race to outpace each other this shit is escalating

J0rdan I am 100% not trying to be a dick here but what is happening is you are getting a little older and shit that didn't used to bug you is probably going to start bugging you a little more.

Dudes are bragging about seemingly consensual rough sex. Why is this a problem?

idk being all "i'm going to assault you" is weird/creepy to me -- i also don't think it refers to rough sex necessarily

does violence belong in sex

Perry Ferrell told me sex is violent. I always listen to him.

before we discuss if violence belongs in sex we should figure out if words belong in music

my point was about more than "beat the pussy up" which i don't find offensive -- i prob shouldn't have cited the gucci song

hahaha.

it's not a "problem" for me per se for that reason, but it's also obviously symptomatic of dubious and awful attitudes towards women. i mean, i'm not gonna wring my hands over it, but "shrug, whatever" isn't an adequate response either.
