Random Thoughts on Porn


January 28, 2008 | Tags: Hip Hop, Porn, DX, Vanessa Blue, Luke

The few people who know me that browse this site know that there’s one thing I love almost as much as music: PORN

 

That’s right. The kid has a serious hang up on all things sex. Movies, pictures, books, etc. You name it; I’ve got it or seen it. There’s something intriguing about the sexual hang ups people have, why people like what they like and so on. One of these days, I’ll devote some serious time to the study of sex (hopefully on some university’s dime), but for now, I’ll stick with interviewing porn stars.

Since my Vanessa Blue interview ran prior to porn week (and thus, making me feel a little left out of the loop), I decided to do this drop for all the folks who got their protest on last week.

No connection to Hip Hop and porn? Nonsense!

 

Can anybody say Luke?

 

Hip Hop and porn fit together like a hand and glove, peanut butter and jelly, kool-aid and sugar, and all other things that go together. Videos are peddling more flesh than Cinemax in the 90’s, XXL (back when it was really dope) was dropping (sanitized) sex issues and 2Pac was running around with porn stars in the X rated version of How Do You Want It.

I hate to toot my own horn, but them DX writers got it going on, word is Bon Jovi © Big Pooh (interpolation by me). 

So here we are, the bad guys are doing a whole week dedicated to America’s dirty little secret: sex, sex and more sex! Love it or hate, revere or revile it, porn is here to stay. While I haven’t read any of the pieces that will follow in the coming days, I do know the reputation of our HNIC, Andreas Hale, and the quality of the writing you all have come to know from this site. Regardless of how you feel about porn (and I KNOW I’m not the only one that watches—and was watching before they reached the age of majority), read with an open mind and draw your own conclusions from there.

 

When all is said and done, I’ll bet any reader on this site that you won’t be able to find better coverage of porn on a Hip Hop site—EVER. We’re stepping the game up because, well…the world is bigger than this rap shit and covering Hip Hop news all the time is—for lack of a better word—boring. Expand your minds, it won’t hurt… I promise.

Nonetheless, I could write a book about each of the critiques I saw in the  My Blue Heaven comments section.  

Here are three indisputable facts:

 

Porn and Hip Hop ARE connected

 

Positivity doesn’t sell

 

More of you than not indulge in fantasies of the flesh. From the strip club, to the night club, y’all love this porno shit and nobody’s bringing you the real like the men and women of DX. Rest assure, there will be plenty more interviews with smut peddlers in the future, so feel free to shoot your boy some names and I’ll do my best to make it happen.

 

As for everybody else who keeps begging DX to cease and desist with the sex: Let me find out Hip Hop’s gotten conservative. With all the misogyny that goes on in these forms, the last thing I expected to find in my comments section were folks who sound like they came straight out of the GOP convention. Sit back, relax and enjoy the week of festivities. I’ll be back to drop some extras from my Vanessa Blue interview later on.

 

Peace and wet dreams,

A-Plus
