"It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp"

Excuse me? I thought being a prostitute was the hard part, not being the man who exploits her, controls her, takes her money, threatens her, plies her with drugs, and often beats her. There is talk of violence and misogyny within the African-American community, which I attribute to the legacy of slavery, not to them, and this might be an example of that.

That song, from "Hustle and Flow," a film I did not like, won Best Song at the Oscars.
