I guess we’re acting like Nicki Minaj never existed, huh?

More like Lebron daughter not knowing the words

bro i saw 2 girls 1 cup when i was 6 ice spice is the least of a parents worries

I was listening to Eminem when I was North’s age, which arguably has WAY more concerning lyrics. But what’s more concerning is the fact is Kim is trying to Monetize a 10 year old’s childhood.

Though if I was Ye I’d be more concerned at North listening to something so sexual than Saint listening to Eminem or some gangster rap s***.

WAP is a #1 song everyone knows.

When do Jamaican kids start listening to Vybz lol

Wet ass p**** make that pull out game weak…

thats the point, back then we didnt know how badly it was influenced.

now what is our generation full of? oversaturated city girls and thots and overly sexualized hip hop, r&b ,materialistic junk

Not a bad influence we just don't need kids posting the tik tok with ice spice. its an odd energy of mixing those lusting after ice spice with kids .

Ice Spice does have the perfect image at this moment. It can go so many different ways right now its interesting to follow and see what direction she will go in.

The pinkpantheress feature was a great move into furthering the internet stronghold and being a part of the y2k swag movement. if they are smart they should avoid all the rappers tbh

Man mfs don’t care about the well-being of children until it’s women doing something 🥱

Damn Rory and Mal have resorted to gossiping about little girls

That’s tough

All joking aside it’s really a tough question tbh

She’s like 22 years old and the music she makes is extremely catchy and she does look like a bitomji lol

But on the other hand she is extremely sexualized so idk if I want my 9 year old listening to her music but then again my 9 year old ain’t gonna hear it the same way I hear it

naa i feel the same way about male kids and drill music, when i was in hs i was bumping chief keef heavy and now you got 13 year olds making drill music, and dying through gang violence still

When north had on the ice spice costume s*** reminded me of some sitcom s*** lmaoo

Great post. Very balanced and well thought out

I understand bringing up artists of the past

But with the internet and tiktok being here it just feels like a different ballgame

i hope kanye never played his own music around his kids cuz he is more raunchy than ice spice tbh

even for female music from the 2000s we had s*** like

Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous Girl
Fergie - London Bridge
Lady Gaga - LoveGame (wanna take a ride on your disco stick)
Brittney Spears - If You Seek Amy (F-U-C-K Me)

nothings really changed over the years

Yeah but we weren’t recording ourselves singing those things with dances and posting it to the internet

Ice Spice definitely catching a stray in the next Kanye interview

Everyone saying the same "we had sexual music in our time"

Its not about that lol. Its about a 9 year old posting it on tik tok who has millions of followers who at least a small percentage of which will sexualize HER

its not about her liking ice spice in her own privacy or posting to her myspace or her private facebook or instagram

its about how many eyes she has on her and how ice spice post brought additional eyes to her some of which are creepers and she spinning around and shaking her butt

I forgot about a couple of these. Yeah nothing has really changed. Idk why people are so up in arms about this lol this is really such a non issue that was blown out of proportion.

But we were still on that type of time. Posting s*** on MySpace, tagged and other s***. It’s all the same s***.

It is definitely different in terms of immediate access, which I think is an issue, but parenting evolves relative to environment. Take for example the inception of like NWA and how that affected music ratings in the industry because of parents complaining. That was a new phenomenon which lead to distinctions in how parents policed media. The same could be said about the initial internet as it permeated early culture in the 2000s, esp. after the growth of cellphone usage 2007-11
I think parents can sometimes be slow to adapt to change and you get missed generations who fall prey to the fact the prior generation is adjusting. Like for example a lot of older Gen Z may have had very supervised media consumption with traditional media (i.e. TV), but very little w/ Internet. I think now you're seeing the next step, kids with internet supervision, but very little with social media or specific apps. Parents need to catch up to the norms of the generation before it can be regulated - I do think there is an external responsibility to a degree on media companies (there's a reason film ratings exist for example, or video games), but ultimately things like ratings are deciding factors for parents more than they are ultimately legal regulations. It's parents' jobs to instill norms in their kids. I don't think all young girls are just looking at Ice Spice if they see her and are immediately replicating her behavior - seeing it is one thing which may be an issue, but actively replicating it denotes something else the parent has likely done wrong.

Ehh but it wasn't being recorded and put on the internet for an audience of millions tbf
