Here is the second installment in the series of “Bad Ideas In Hip-Hop.”
Last week, we examined an obscure, but not forgotten act, The White Boys. This week, we dive deeper into another bad idea in the world of Hip-Hop. This time, the topic is Porno Rap.
What we deem Porno Rap has taken on many manifestations in the history of rap music. It isn’t really new. Back in the day, the Two Live Crew were spittin’ those raunchy, profane lyrics that got the PMRC and all he conservatives all in a frenzy. Then there was Lil Kim and, to a letter degree, Foxy Brown and their potty mouths. And certainly, since then, there have been a number of artists that have done “dirty rap.”
But as time moved forward, the real genre of Porno Rap emerged. This ain’t the same thing as “dirty rap.” Now, this is an opinion, but I have to place the blame of “Porno Rap” one person.
That man’s name is Akinele.
Do you know Akinele? He had an album in the 90’s called Vagina Diner. The album was good, but that title got him banned from a lot of spots. Now, Ak was really considered a dope rapper who represented well on “Live At The BBQ,” which featured a stellar performance by Nas. In 1996, he released an EP called Put it in Your Mouth and the rest is history. Akinele then turned into a Porno Rapper. Certainly, this is arguable, but with songs like "P***y Makes the World Go Round," "Rather F**k You," "Take a Lick," he made a bed…so to speak and it as full of sex raps.
Later, people wonder why Ak went so hard with Porno Rap. Nobody I know…knows. But, since then, he has spawned some “offspring” that really didn’t need to be rapping in the first place.
Heather Hunter – “So Serious, So Sincere”
Heather Hunter is a mega star in real life and a legend of porn. She even did a video with Tupac. Since her active days, she has taken a few different turns in her life (she's a great artist) and Hip-Hop music is one of them. But, rap may have been a bad turn, but I'll let you decide. Check out “Double H” with cameos from ghost writer Akinele and Wyclef Jean (those dirty dogs!).
B. Pumper - “Rick Ross Diss”
Warning: This video is NSFW. Porn star Brian Pumper donned the name B. Pumper after Rick Ross said he did a gay porn movie. He was so mad that he did a horrible rap video. Pumper comes next…pause:
Ghostface Killa – “Stapleton Sex”
WARNING: This movie is not safe for work, wife, kids or mom. But, these days, even a legendary Wu Tanger was affected by Porno rap! Ghostface went all the way in on this one, but it still didn’t shock most fans into buying his new album.
Look what Akinele has created:
Here is the godfather of Porno Rap and his classic "dirty rap" record, "Just Put It In My Mouth":
Bonus:
Ak's "Love Me For Free," which was the clean version of "F**k Me For Free."
