All Hip Hop founder Chuck Creekmur Open Letter to Nicki Minaj

Perhaps the founder of All Hip Hop.com should familiarized himself with the phrase "chickens come home to roost." The consequences of doing wrong always catch up with the wrongdoer. Well in this case, the direction and negative objectification of women in Hip Hop that has undoubtedly been (and still is being...) promoted on the pages of Creekmur's website has affected someone close to him. In this case his daughter. So in other words, 'What comes around goes around." Others might say, Don't hate the player, hate the Game. We're sure Creekmur benefited greatly from the rap game. Where was his concern years ago when his daughter was less impressionable to the media images he continues to promote. All the while other people's daughters, sisters, and nieces consumed the images, lyrics, and portrayals he now finds unacceptable.

We found it interesting that this open letter to Nicki Minaj was not published on the AllHipHop.com website but this story was. One might say that's a little hypocritical, yes?

Dear Nicki Minaj,
I own AllHipHop.com. AllHipHop has been historically uber supportive of the rapper Nicki Minaj. That’s YOU, homie! When I say historically, we can take it all the way back to when you had to stand in line to get into parties or those grimy underground videos you once pumped out on the streets. You know, that period of time before Lil Wayne and Young Money. Along the way, something changed. This isn’t the change everybody wants to talk about though. No hate there. AllHipHop had published an old image for some reason or another some years ago. You remember the one of you licking a lollipop and evoking the now-classic image of Lil Kim in all of her crotchiness? Of course you remember your version of that image, because you asked us to take it down through a member of the team. The team member let us know that Nicki is no longer on that and is doing a lot to promote a new image — “blah blah blah.”

But, guess what? Not only do I run AllHipHop, I’m a father, too. For a moment there, I felt like I had briefly peered into the deepest recesses of Nicki Minaj’s true inner self, a being that cares how this ratchet s**t affects my kid. I said to myself, “Self, how cool is this? Nicki is already evolving into somebody that my daughter may get to listen to on my watch. Maybe.” I’ve been in the music game a minute now, so I know how it goes. So, when I peeped the artwork for your latest single, I wasn’t even shocked, I was just disappointed. The song: “Anaconda.” The art: your booty in a thong. As a man, I can appreciate the virtues of your perfect posterior. The dad guy is not a happy camper, particularly now that his lil’ girl is transitioning into a young lady.

Now, the most popular, current Black female rapper starts overtly pushing her hyper-sexualized image again?

Just my luck.

I’m trying to raise a young girl that will eventually grow into someone greater than the both of us. I know that this requires great parenting, great education, great luck and an assortment of great influences. I’m sure you know the influence you wield, but now, if you told the “Barbs” to scratch my eyes out, some would attack without thinking about it. I’m sure some will also replicate the “Anaconda” image without thinking about it too. Your original image already has 256,817 (and counting) likes under the original Instagram picture you posted, so I venture that your average girl could strive to get a couple hundred likes from her friends. Is this the path you want to lead impressionable kids down?
