Was watching the movie Higher Learning and was reminded of this song (off topic: in the movie Higher Learning Ice Cube and Busta resemble a grown up version of Huey and Riley...add Regina King and one wonders where the inspiration for the Boondocks characters actually came from)
My thoughts were the same reason why Barack Obama abandoned Jeremiah Wright his pastor of 20 years when he was running for president. Because what Jeremiah Wright was saying was one of those things that Black people talk about behind closed doors....we dont say it outside the doors and President Obama wasn't going to explain all of that...he figured it was just better to abandon ship. So for Ice Cube to say it outside the doors....it became an "Oh snap he went there" moment. Right on the heels of the Malcolm X movie, the 5% influence in my neighborhood, Farrakhan being at his prime and overhearing how the elders talked I was actually convinced that white folks were the devil...LOL.... I felt that mindstate was where Black males in America should be. I also thought the song was harsh because one of my favorite cousins mom was white and she was the nicest person on the planet. This is the influence that Hip Hop once had on the psyche...That influence no longer exists. "Cave b*tch" had me confused about racial bounderies at the age of 15. Ice Cube was one of the top rappers in 93. Kanye and Kendrick are top rappers in 2013 but I cant see them making a song like "Cave B*tch."
