Slum Village announced that the proceeds from the iTunes sales of their new J Dilla produced “Yes, Yes” will go to Dilla’s children. I applaud the group for doing this, but I do take issue with the subject matter of the song being used to benefit his daughters. The song is a celebration of the groups sexual exploits. What happens when Ja’Maya and Ty-Monae hear the song. Here young ladies, enjoy this song which was meant to be a sort of dedication to you. It’s like making a song to benefit the educational programs available to children in communities with poor schooling, and said song being about drugs, jewelry and cars. It’s worse than that though, it’s like making a song to help fight the blood diamond trade in South Africa and the subject matter of that song is about how big your chain is and how many carats your watch has. I find this to be utterly tasteless and while I applaud the fact the group is willing to do something for Dilla’s children (which they should be doing ANYWAY), it should have been thought through a little more thoroughly.
PURCHASE: SLUM VILLAGE – YES, YES
