I heard this new song on Thanksgiving for the first time and I'm still disturbed. It's called "CoCo". It's by this idiot named O.T. Genasis. I must say I had some idea what he was talking about until I saw the video then I realized I was correct. In the video he is cutting cocaine with a playing card on a glass table with money rolled up, drinking what appears to be brown liquor and talking about being "in love with the CoCo." Apparently kids are listening to this and enjoying it. I guess they find his delivery to be funny. One line in the song goes "I got baking soda, I got baking soda."
When I've mentioned this song to others they have laughed it off like, "oh yeah I know that song. It's very popular right now." I haven't spoken to anyone who has said anything about the song or it's content.
Well here I go...
THIS SONG OFFENDS ME TO MY CORE!!!!!
We are in very trying times and some fool thought it was entertaining to put out a song like this. Celebrating the preparation of cocaine for sale. Really?! What makes it more offensive is I know he made the song simple for a reason. It's catching on with kids. Even as I write this I want to scream at the fool but since he's in love with the CoCo, he probably won't even understand what I'm trying to say.
It's ignorance like this that helps to give low-income communities (like my own) the reputation of laziness and stupidity.
My community knows better than to promote this garbage. They listen to it truly because no one is actually putting out decent music but that's a larger debate for another rant.
This song should be banned. I nominate O.T. Genasis for Donkey of the Year.
