Dumbfoundead, a hip hop artist, recently released a free EP in honor of Valentine’s Day called Love Everyday. Here’s the video for the single “For You” and the lyrics:

This is for my fifth grade crush
My middle school make out sessions in a bus
Freshman hooking with high school sluts
Burning mix tapes with the bands that you loved
House party hickies unhooking that bra
Man it got real tricky 
But got those panties off 
To my first girlfriend 
that had me feelin’ sprung
then it had to end
man, we were really young
For that rebound that check that I abused
To make an ex jealous
I know wasn’t cool
For the girls I smash and never call back
For the bitchies that dissed me
You ain’t all that 
For the groupies on the road
That will drop real low
For all the chicks sending titty flix for my phone
For Jennifa and Joan
They never got along
For that crazy ass bitch 
Writing about me in the blog
For that one freak added me on the facebook
For that heartbreaker
that got me writing Drake cuts
For the ones I drugged out
And the one I sex it
Sorry I showed up to your crib unexpected
This is for the one night stands, 
And two nice days
Three months relationship 
Few blind dates
For all the girls I mentioned
I wanna thank y’all
For helping me to write this song

I understand that hip-hop is a largely misogynist scene. But it does not have to be that way. I have such problems with the language and objectification he uses in his songs. I remember listening to some previous songs and all were along the same lines. As a role model of an Asian man in the hip hop scene, Dumbfoundead has a lot of attention on him both as a powerful MC and (potentially) brilliant lyricist. It would be inspiring to see him use his position and music to spread positive, strong messages that encompass more than the people who still content with calling women “bitches” and glorify using them as objects solely for pleasure.

Dude, I would love to really jam out to your music. But I cannot support someone who has no respect for women. You’ve certainly built up quite a following, but you’ve lost this particular listener.

Maybe he should check his own words: “Just ‘cause you a nice guy don’t mean you a good man.”
