So you're gonna ignore "Short But Funky", "Life Is Too Short", "Gettin' It", and the dozens of other positive/non-cussing songs Short dropped in the last 30+ years, huh?
"Freaky Tales" and "More Freaky Tales" received
zero mainstream radio or video play. I didn't even see that shyt on BET or YO! MTV Raps.
A single in 1987 or whatever the fukk does not mean the same thing as a single in 2020. "WAP" is getting pushed everywhere from Youtube to the biggest streaming platforms on the planet.
Apple did a roundtable on hoeing to promote it, for Christ sake. And for the record I don't personally have a problem with the song but comparing some shyt from 30+ years ago to how hard this song is being pushed....is disingenuous as hell.
And again, Too Short, Nas and Jay have positive songs. Or at the very least, non-negative songs. Cardi B and Megan ain't got no "I Can" in them. Or "Gettin' It". C'mon man.
