When did the "JLo Booty" myth start and why did we allow it to continue?

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

JLo is sohh bootyful!

 

[JLova]

She had that one scene in that movie shyt was sitting right

The whole movie bruh. Was peeping her more than Paula.

 

[Wild self]

It was more of a 90’s thing. Women in the 90’s didn’t have GARGANTUAN asses in the mainstream like they do today.


J.Lo herself is overrated as a talent.

Social media and plastic surgery on asses really fukked up our perceptions,

 

[ISO]

True, but in the late 90s, the likes of Ma$e, Cam'ron, and Black Rob were gassing up Latina Women like the best thing since sliced bread. That was when Hip Hop gotten real money and started wanting non-black women with fat asses from Hollywood. J Lo fit that prototype PERFECTLY......

It was self hate back then that made that J Lo stigma stick. A white looking Latina with a bubble butt and a "Spicy" mouth. A c00n brehs best dream.

U doing way too much

Myth?!?! OP buggin....

 

[Wild self]

U doing way too much

Its True. @skeetsinternal will say the same thing as well.

A lot of rappers back in the superthug era were gassing up Latinas as the perfect women like Sheek Louch, Jay-Z, Ma$e, and Puff. c00ning in the form of being "real" was heavy in the late 90s

Yep.

There were always “voluptuous” women around, but they were mostly video girls (Melyssa Ford) so J.Lo being an actual artist was a tier above.


I actually remember when the “video girl” look started getting “mainstream” type love. When Ki-Toy Johnson and Buffie The Body hit the scene. They ushered in the SUPER THICK era. Good GAWD them was some fine women

 

[Striving For Greatness]

Latinas

 

[SATAN]

Because it's what Black women are known for having so the media gave the title to a cac bytch instead

 

[Johnny Kilroy]

Her ass is aight but it's famous because she took out a million dollar insurance policy on it.

Shortly after that there was the whole Diddy/Shyne shoot up the club thing so she was big news for a quick lil minute.

 

[Kyle Barker]

I remember the mainstream making a bigger deal about her ass more than anybody. She was curvier than the typical female artist like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, etc.

 

[Wild self]

U doing way too much

How? I just revealed a lot of history of simping and c00ning in the Hip Hop scene since the late 90s

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

Here comes the revisionary shyt on J-lo brigade

J-lo's body during the 90s and early 00s was LEGIT...anybody saying otherwise is just making revisionary angles to make their “argument” sound worthy of discussion.

Typical coli babble...

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Literally in the first 8 seconds you could see what young JLo was holding



Hollywood eventually had her looking like an ordinary white chick. Even during In Living Color I think she said she was embarrassed by her body and would wear baggy shyt because of it

Well slap my face and call me pappy

I totally forgot J Lo used to be built like that

I was about to jump on the revisionist wave until you realigned my reality, playa. Preciate dat

Yeah, the southern black women/strippers came into music videos in the mid 00s, and changed the game forever. Esther Baxter was a chick that would get the raw dikk until Joe Budden did that and made her get an abortion

But when east coast rap was on top back then, all you hear was Latina this, and Latina that. J Lo was the prototype of a non black woman that had a bubble that dudes wanted by their arm.
