I STILL find it funny, 30+ odd years later, that a Midwestern white girl like me *wouldn’t* have ever fallen in love with songs like Fuck tha Police, and soooooo many other Golden-Era Rap songs, if it hadn’t been for all the Adults freaking the hell OUT about it!😉😂🤣
But I listened to the words, because they WERE all freakin’ out, I realized, “Hey, these guys are really *talking* about the injustice and unfair crap that’s happening to kids like them–and they *aren’t* that different than those of us here!”
Annnnnnd those breakouts and the Tiper Gore BS made little Midwestern White Girls like *me* lifelong fans of plenty of those rappers!🤷♀️😆😂🤣
