Ugly Likes Sexyy Red
It’s embarrassing to hate Sexyy Red. It’s not that I think she’s above criticism. Frankly, seeing TikTok of kindergarteners quoting her isn’t an ideal situation, but that can be resolved with parents not blasting “Shake Em Dreads” on the way to daycare.
We seem to be directly linking her music to the surreptitious decline of black America Sexyy Redd rapping about hellcats is why the auto industry left Detroit and plunged the black middle class into a chasm of despair. Sexyy Red is the reason why the crack epidemic decimated DC. To some folks, her existence is uniquely a black experience; only black people would support an artist whose entire persona is the moral rot of our culture. Afro-pessimists live in a box where black people are being continually humiliated through our willingness to allow artists like Sexxy Redd to freely exist. Every time she does the “chicken-head” pregnant on stage, they die inside.
The whole thing is nonsense, though. Most people who say this kind of shit clearly don’t know white people very well. White musicians routinely displayed such utter disregard for anything resembling morality. You had rock bands (and I mean every conceivable subgenre of rock music) biting off the heads of bats and gyrating their crotches on stage for white teenagers, before going backstage and shooting heroin into their penises. Nikki Six, bassist for the band Motley Crue, used to shoot heroin into his dick. That’s an actual fact. Google it. They were also all notorious pedophiles, and open about it! These rock stars were awful people. Some of these teenage girls (unironically referred to as “baby groupies”) became famous! Sable Starr was 13(!!) when she slept with (was raped) by Iggy Pop. She dated David Bowie, Alice Cooper, AND Rod Stewart. I feel like I need to fully explain how public this was. She did magazine shoots with the rock stars, she openly dated Led Zeppelin lead guitarist Jimmy Page, she even got into a fist-fight with Lorri Mattox, another ‘baby groupie,’ since both of them were dating him!
Sexyy Red is not a degenerate. Place her up against some of music’s most decadent hedonists, and I mean the absolute shit bags of our culture, and she’s pretty average. Her butthole is brown. Okay. Almost every famous rock star you know from the ‘80s or ‘70s was a violent maniac, abused women, and groomed teens, and lived a very public life of just excess and decadence. They’re also beloved by white people.
