After all we don't care about what some "rapper has to say about his own sexual desires Dumb post. Read again and note that I said "more than" and that my comment is in the context of a discussion on a specific Petey Pablo song.

AfricaOwn;939201 wrote: Feminists don't have problems with women being degraded in hip hop, they have to be entertained too. What's feminist is listening to whatever I want, despite what some dudes on SOL define as appropriate and fitting for a young woman to listen to. That's an exercise in power and control that affects (or at least attempts to affect) my agency and personhood more than what some rapper has to say about his own sexual desires. But since you're the SOL authority on feminism here, AfricaOwn:

No.

This is one of the best amateur Somali rappers I've heard, and the video is actually quite well done.

I know this wasn't your intention but I find this comment hysterically funny, xabad. Is it the letter format? The passive aggressive "thanks"? The way you capitalized Audio in "audio porn"? lmao so many levels

Thanks Wadani

Even if you hated someone; an intelligent person would not have started a Jaahil and unintellectual topic. You mention Allah in "wabilahi tawfiq" when your behaviour is unacceptable in Islam. People who are against race marriges aren't at least as arrogant as you are. the are a bunch of god fearing Amhara muslim. So next time you promote Nationalistic fanatism, please don't say anything that has to do with Islam. We all know what measures Allah takes against people like you. Wabilahi tawfiq... +1

The photos I've seen on actual news websites have blurred out the graphic stuff.

Naxar Nugaaleed;939058 wrote: I don't know why but coverage of this event was way more graphic, pics and vids of people with their legs blown out with bones sticking out being carried away. On television? I don't have a TV so I've only seen what's online, and it seems news sites are more careful and only link to graphic photos with a warning.

The latter, obvi.

They are singing an Amharic song and dancing eskista, these are Ethiopians.

MISSION COMPLETE! I forgot a line or two so I had to improvise at times, but no one in the audience could tell. And I may or may not have tried to pass off a few Somali words as Amharic, but I warned my group (I'm the only non-native speaker) and the instructor ahead of time that they would start hearing "Somaligna" if I get stuck. So I didn't suck y'all
