"The Sex Was Spectacular" ... AKA "Let A Ho Be A Ho" AKA "Hollywood's Satanic Verses"

fist tap Bra Wax

Last night I was drunk / I don't remember much / But what I do comes in pictures / That's how gone I was / But he was tall and he was buying / So I gave him a trying / Said he was built like a stallion / And the man wasn't lying / Last I remember / I was face down, ass up, clothes off, broke off, dozed off / Even though I'm not sure of his name / He could get it again if he wanted / 'Cause the sex was spectacular / The sex was spectacular / The sex was spectacular / The sex was spectacular / sing-songy sex noises [End Refrain] / So it was the morning after / I couldn't get home faster / Doing the walk of shame / In the same clothes from yesterday / I think he pulled a track out / When he was blowing my back out / What was I drinking / I can't believe I blacked out / [Refrain] / You can say what you want but / You can call me a slut but / What he did to me last night felt so good / I must have been on drugs / I hope he used a rubber / Or I'mma be in trouble / Promise I don't remember / Except for rolling over / Give it to me, give it to me / Ooh baby what a ride ride / Oh ride ride / So smooth like the beats / I like the heat / Ooh baby what a night night / Right right /

Her Explanation:

"Young women across the country get intoxicated and have unprotected sex. That’s a fact. I recorded the song to bring attention to this frighteningly prevalent activity. It is absurd to infer or suggest that I am condoning this behavior.

Are Lady Gaga and Beyonce advocating murder with the “Telephone” video? Of, course not. Was Rihanna encouraging suicide with “Russian Roulette?” No. Was Madonna suggesting that young unmarried girls get pregnant with “Papa Don’t Preach?” I don’t think so. Is Academy Award winner Monique a proponent of incest because of her portrayal of Mary in the movie “Precious.” Clearly, the answer is no.

I wrote “Spectacular” and made the video to bring attention to a serious women’s health and safety issue.
Please don’t shoot the messenger."


Read writer Marcus Toussaint's response:

"I have several problems with Williams’ defense of “Spectacular.” Firstly, the song she made is sonically hype (it’s not good, but it’s certainly got thump); there’s nothing that betrays a sense of shame or perspective or even neutrality. The vocalist in question doesn’t sound altogether troubled by what she did. This isn’t necessarily a negative since, as Williams states in her YouTube clip, a song can just be a song relaying or imagining a story. This is a song just dishing out some good old fashion real talk. Fine. But what exactly is Williams trying to say? Since it’s not readily clear, the audience is left to judge the song on its feel. Between the beat and the vocal delivery, it doesn’t feel altogether negative. Frankly, it sounds like one helluva night depending on your take on activities bacchanal."

Before making her “song for song’s sake” defense, Williams denies the song condones date rape. Are we to infer that the song is, therefore, about date rape? If so, the message stakes have been raised exponentially and comes off as a contradiction in intent. Bringing attention to something, especially date rape, is going beyond making a song that is “just” a song. A song “just because” means the listener shouldn’t look any further into it. If Williams was trying to highlight the dangerous prevalence of date rape, that must mean she would like discuss the matter as juxtaposed against a song that seem to justify it, no? In my opinion, any time juxtaposition can be brought into the mix artistically, there’s a deeper, more-than-just-a-song meaning.

It’s extremely difficult to pull off a “just because” song regarding a coerced sexual act. Even “Blame It On the Alcohol”, which is fairly unapologetic, doesn’t go quite that far. Still, Williams not only brings up the issue of date rape, but claims she was merely bringing attention to an important women’s health and safety issue. If so, I find these lyrics troubling."

WTF?

From Black And Bougie

Meanwhile, no matter how much Kiely Williams tries to p-pop herself out of being a forgettable Disney starlet, the only reaction her "Spectacular" video stirred up was general revulsion. It's rumored her next song is called "Open My Legs, Tell Me What Ya Think." If she named it "Open My Legs and Get That Speculum" and featured her next Pap smear in the video, and I don't think the public would give a damn. She may try to go the basketball wives' route next, but I'm not even sure she could pull a bench rider making league minimum at this point.

Somebody in a fugg'n board room wrote that explanation for her dumb azz. She is not making ignant ysh like that then having half a brain cell to produce something that is an "artistic perspective," that has as much logic as a soup sandwich.

Just like these dumb niggas saying they just talking what they see on the streets. Thanks for the red alert, but I got 6 0'clock evening news to tell me that ysh every day. The information is worthless. No solution behind it. No plan of counter attack. What is her solution. "Watch my video, and watch my sex ritual monkey jigg."

"Young women across the country get intoxicated and have unprotected sex."

What? So that message at best is saying...

"YOUNG WOMEN across the country, have sex, just don't be intoxicated and unprotected." Which alcohol is going to be in the equation anyway so they don't have to see themselves as sluts.

Can you believe these Prophets of Profit Wax? They are cultural hitmen.

This song/video is not about "date rape." What this song is about is actually something else, though it is related.
The song says, "Hey, you don't have to feel ashamed of having unprotected sex while you are drunk IF the sex is good and IF the dude has a big one and IF he is somewhat attractive." Entirely different message from “date rape happens.” However, it does highlight the problematic nature of the “date rape” concept.

The image of "date rape" that the hardcore feminists successfully turned into unquestionable gospel is the following. Girl gets manipulated/coerced forced into getting super drunk by evil frat guy (or pretend “nice guy”). HE makes her so drunk that she blacks out...or passes out completely. Said evil, horny fraternity brother and/or “nice guy” then sticks his junk in her and goes to town while she is unconscious. Or he does so at a moment when she is incapable of forming the mono-syllable "No", though she's screaming it in her head, locked in a nightmare she can't wake up from. Or she CAN say "No" and says it repeatedly, after getting back to the frat/nice boy’s lair and finding a photo-album of other drunk girls in states of undress, said album labeled "My Favorite Rapes". Girl screams No, runs to the door, but it’s now locked from the outside. Leering frat-dude then forces himself on her, laughing maniacally or screaming “B***h, I’m gonna rape you!” over and over again.

Granted, some women are FORCED to have sex...and THAT IS RAPE, whether or not alcohol is involved. However, as often as not, what has been called "date rape" is a chance for women who got drunk to legally absolve themselves of responsibility for her own adult, albeit stupid, choices. Instead of the walk of shame and a self-commitment not to act so foolishly again, psychologically, it became easier to be a victim and accuse the man of rape. Hardcore feminists would shout down anyone bringing up real-life cases where the man was not a monster and both parties were equally aware and responsible, despite BOTH being drunk. They'd say anyone bringing this up was "blaming the (self-created) victim," regardless of the facts at hand. It was as if admitting that, yes, sometimes women act stupidly but with volition when drunk (just like men) would somehow magically make it "okay" for real rapists (those who violently force sex) to operate without repercussion. Usually, the guy the feminists shouted down would hang his head and shut up because, hey, he knew that eventually, he might wanna have sex with a girl and if she also happened to have drank from the cup of the hardcore feminism, he didn't want to ruin his chances by being seen as an ally of the International Order of Patriarchical/Frat Boy Rape Monsters.

Gooood stuff Cadev.

To think there are good men who have been locked in cages for 9 years with 11 to go because some wannabe Group Identity Victim parroted the feminist "Date Rape" narrative.

A little more to add:

The result of all the above changes in the concept of rape was actually a much more paternalistic attitude than what had existed before. The subtext is that ANY time a woman gets drunk she is believed to be incapable (like a small child or a household pet) of having any self-will or making a choice in the matter. The other subtext is that all men are sexually voracious rape monsters, given circumstances, which is why men and manhood must be redesigned/changed somehow (this can’t be done by Fathers, since they are supposed to be part of the problem…so it must be done by the State or Corporations/Media.)
There are men in prison for committing the crime of rape who did not actually rape anyone. The traditional understanding of rape has been conflated with two consenting people getting drunk and having sex, 'cept that if one of these consenting drunk people is a male, he is a rape monster, while if the other is a female, she is a frail and defenseless thing that cannot protect herself, much less responsible for her own actions.

Now...we've got this "Spectacular" video, which after a few decades of the stifling and problematic "date rape" doctrine, might actually seem like a whiff of fresh (or stank slutty) air.

Except it's not.

Me? I call Hegelian Dialectic on this.

cadeveo said...

Damn, didn't see you post your reply so quick. Makes my comment on innocent men being locked up for this nonsense superfluous.

On another note...what's with the Disney connection. Does Disney make it policy to groom and promote young female singers to promote irresponsible sexual promiscuity to young girls? Christina...Britney...Hannah Montana. Only a matter of time before this girl dyes her hair blonde or starts sporting a blonde wig.

Gotta give y'all props. I believe you all hit the target on every point.

So somebody mentioned that her mother and aunt run her label? or Management company or whatever.

In a way I see this akin to women who are trafficked for sex, as many of them have been coerced by female relatives.

How does one sell their daughter or niece?

Although in this case, I can't help but think this girl might have been complicit at every step.

Devout dyke is enemy of Man and therefore enemy of his Woman.

Devout dyke seeks to maximize the sexual autonomy of Woman IN ORDER TO OPERATE MORE FREELY.

In the growing morass of degenerate and wayward females is the devout dyke, getting "married," adopting and being seen as more and more normal in relation to Woman.

Radical feminist is to devout dyke what euthanasia is to self-annihilation.

So, a behind the scene analysis.

What was the scene about when she flips off those two cats on the corner yet when she passes by that dude with a girl, she tries to seduce him? I understand how that plays out in real life, but why is that important to highlight in a video that supposedly addresses "intoxicated young women having unprotected sex." Where does that conversation fit in?

Gotta say cadaveo laid it out perfectly.

Holy Shit!!! Isn't that one of the Cheetah Girls? She REALLY made a song like that? I'm far from being a Puritan, but even I'm slightly disgusted.
