| Eeeaasy On the Neck there Man!.. Geez! |
It's called Erotic Asphyxiation, and guess what I hear it's the in thing!
So, I hear Jay Electronica has thing, this little conversation piece has with his audience. that he has done at a few of his shows about how women like to be choked during sex. I call it a stint cause he's done it a few times before during other shows and it's stupid. Now, during your shows as an artist I think when its appropriate, given the setting and atmosphere, the artist can conduct their stage show as they please, hopefully with sense. However, even the dopest artist sometimes don't use common sense. I am hearing there is alot of backlash towards him in regards this "show conversation". Now I wasn't there but I have talked to someone who was there (a male) who even feels, he didn't have to "go there" at this outdoor festival that is all ages; I'm sure there were a few children and quite a few youth there. Plus, I have watched his jokey joke on video and it was hahahahaha, not funny. From what I get it was a conversation about how women like to be choked during sex....all women liked to be choked to different degrees of choking...WTH! I thought the festival was about fulfillment Hip Hop gives as a culture. Why was this a topic of discussion on stage at an outdoor festival? In the club, whatever, I guess, if that what you need to have a discussion over but come on seriously. Another thing, have you ever heard of young men being told, "Trust me dude when a girl says no she's playin hard to get, they like it rough". What does this lead to when in the hands of a young male who has no sense....Rape. Anyways, you may feel like "Relax Queen he didn't say nothing about rape" but neither does anybody else when they give bad advice in regards to handling a women when it comes to the act of sex. The worst person to get advice from when it comes to what women want or how they like something is someone who is not a woman. *sigh* These stupid things that get told to people who can't think for themselves lead to abuse against women, molestation and rape, and if you think not, I dare you to speak to someone who has been raped or abused.
Jay Jay Jay, let your talents speak volumes and let s@#! come out where it's suppose to come out, not from your mouth brotha man. Keep focus Keep focus on the good stuff
Well, if this was a way to get people talking about him then I guess it's working...And for all the women out there that have a thing for being erotically asphyxiated then I don't know what to say besides make sure you have a plan b if things get a little to intense, like a bottle, or a lamp within arms reach, but a word from the wise, breathing is a gift that can be taken away under a stupid act such as that, it's hard to yell for someone to stop or yell for help when you can't breathe. ...Ya ya ya, it's all fun and games until someone gets a little too rough with their girl or a girl for that matter.
Peace Sistahs,
Queen Cee
Thank u for addressing the issue. I think that a guy who is into that is lacking in the tool and technique department! Any female who acquired a taste for choking or is turned on by it do not need to promote that publicly. One day sensuality will come back in style. I guess right now its barbarism and vampire-ism!

Yes, yes, Queen. Thank you for addressing this issue...
You've hit the nail multiple times here with each point you made. I was physically at this event, watching J.Elec engage the crowd - "humanizing" himself (great quality for any artist to have). He had control of the ENTIRE slew of people, (which were hundreds, if not thousands in attendance). I gave him HUGE props for this, as every act that day had aimed for this artist/crowd interaction, but none had achieved it...
But, ironically, it was at this point when J.E. decides he's gonna tell us another story - about a bet he has with other musicians there that day. The bet was about the aforementioned topic of this blog - and I was SHOCKED. I turned to my friends (of both sexes) and said, "Is this really happening?? Where did this come from? How is this RELEVANT right now?!?!!!"
Nobody could figure out WHY this was happening - HOW this was still going on - and also - WTF??! It's so true, he didn't need to go there...at all...far as I knew, MANIFESTO was about the celebration of the hiphop community & culture - not sexual fetish pref's, and especially that of women - w/o a woman present IN THE BET or ON STAGE to speak otherwise. Way to promote the misogyny, abuse and disrespect of women...really progressive movement right there...*snickers*
Wait - it's the 21st Century, right?
It was bad taste, worse...it was uncalled for and absolutely unnecessary. There WERE children there, there WERE women there, there were people who were in SHOCK & some, outright offended. I saw this with my own eyes all around me.
I say, keep your music on stage - and your sex life somewhere else. I don't care where you put it - or how you do it - just don't make me think of you choking some woman every time I hear your voice on a track. Negative association is a bad look no matter who you are.
And, for everybody who was into this and was enjoying/laughing/participating, good on you - I just hope (like Queen said) that you have a "plan B" and that it doesn't include polling Tdot on a huge festival stage to make your private life and preferences known.
You had me at Exhibit C, Jay....we didn't need to know that YOU, in fact, "like it rough".
P.E.A.C.E.
