I must admit, I watched this live clip of him and a girl on stage. I loved it when everyone went crazy when they started dancing together. I admit it. I would so dance with Bow Wow to this song. lol Make fun if you like.

I kinda liked the Fluffy Girls song though it is not my kind of music at all. It would've been an even better video had you been in it. Nothing against the blonde girl, but you and the African American woman, with the corsets and some of your fab eye makeup would've been really hot.

I see this and Bow Wow's video as steps forward, not back in SA. Sure they're not big ones, but every little bit helps. I'm always happy when I see fat girls portrayed as sexual without humiliation, laughter, or championing some martyr guy who just happens to see the girl inside the fat exterior.

I loved the Bow Wow song and of course, the Lil Wayne song. Lil Wayne is so yummy.

It's the right step in the wrong direction as some critics would opine, but the right direction nontheless so it counts. *shrugs* I'm all about fair and equal treatment and truth be told the treatment of women in rap has rarely been anything to write home about. People have complained about it for years but it keeps making money so it stays. So does the image of the fat nasty buck toothed chicken head that deserves to be publically dissed and abused. Putting a fat woman on stage to dance in the cage with the rest of the hip booted bimbos is about as elevated as it gets for a rap video.

I'd like to see this. There's plenty of sexploitation and misogyny for all of us regardless of size.

^ This pretty much sums up what I was going to say.

Some might say "money," but really, money is a foundation only insofar as it is a vehicle for attaining or possessing power.

I really wonder why anyone is suprised, hip hop video's have ALLWAYS had bigger women in them, as far back as the 80's, hiphop and most forms of latin music has often featured larger women than their rock counterparts(the only thing gig on those girls was their hair)
below are examples of the hiphop and latin cultures difference in what the women looked like.

We all know this...we do. Now, here it comes...ready?

There's no ass admiration in the video actually. There is a very clothed girl dancing in a shocking show of hiphop male-female equality. What is true size acceptance anyway? It's having all the things skinny people have, including video gigs.

The video is really tame actually. There is only one woman, and the dancing is sort of on a loop. She's in regular clothes and she's not oiled up or skanked out. Just a regular looking girl shown in a shot from the waist up. The video is rather minimalist.

It's not "empowering" but I found it rather tasteful. And they picked a cute girl without going overboard.

I've grown to love the song actually

[superodalisque]

the lyrics aren't bad--they could definitely be worse. they could also be better. i showed it to some friends of mine this afternoon in ATL. my nephew had actually played the song for me before, fat advocate that he is. they all commented that the video model could have looked better too. i thought she was cute but could have been smoothed a bit. as emphathizers they believed that they knew big girls who looked a lot better and could represent big girls in a more positive light. but then i pointed out that most of the video models look a little hard and rough to me in general anyway. i say that because i've see a lot of them close up since i work around that industry a lot. and most girls who aren't "seasoned" would not put up with what goes on on the sets anyway. for the most part they are strippers from the rough side of town who have other duties while the cameras aren't going. but how this model looks has more to do with how she was made-up, lighted and shot. i don't think there was an intention to make her look good. and i know that here in atlanta for sure there are some really slammin BBWs who can dance and are very popular.

its a double edge sword alright. having fun and loosening up is good. but in the overall politics of the thing i think it depends on how you want to be desired as a woman who is fat. where will it all end up? it might be ok to just take whatever comes your way. personally i think women who are fat have taken what they could get for a long time now, as have women in general. its time to hone our game and improve our standing a bit. true fat beauty especially is hardly ever celebrated. there are a lot of funny things. there are a lot of gratuitous things. but there are very few beautiful things centered on women who are fat. when you show a woman's beauty you show that you can respect and desire her. beauty is composed of her intellect her charisma her passion for life and not just the size and shape of her body. if people who create are interested in truly showing a woman's beauty, as we well know, it can be done.

Yeah, this is the kind of stuff that just confuses me. So a woman is a bbw if the only thing big about her is her ass?

He's confused, not you, dear.

[t3h_n00b]

for a rap video, that was really tame actually.

Okay good. I think it's just an issue I'm going to stop wondering about.
