1. Female rap is all the same….what happened to the diversity??? Everyone looks and acts the same…I DONT LIKE IT!!!

2. Y’ALL BLACK QUEENZ

3. It’s not the song, it’s the programmed culture….and white people are profiting from it.
   Arrested development is 💯

4. Crabs 🦀🦀🦀 love the bucket, they can’t help it, they look forward to it everyday💯💯💯

5. the fatigue is real

6. It’s the GLORIFICATION of the Ghetto/Hood way of life. Movies, TV, Music and Social Media Make it all LOOK GLAMOROUS, EXCITING and EASY to get away with Violence, Drugs and EASY MONEY. This is a page from the “MAFIA Handbook”. The Black Community has taken MANY STEPS BACKWARD. Today’s “YN”s and BLACK WOMEN IN PUBLIC has cause a NEW RACISM toward the Black Community. To answer the question “What did we do to Deserve Racism :Two Hundred years to get things right- to become BETTER ! The Progress that Huey Newton and Dr King Fought for has been LOST by the Last TWO Generations.

7. The Bible is never wrong. People will become lovers of themselves and what’s right is wrong and what’s wrong is right.

8. Niggas have got to go. I’d rather have African immigrants than American-born niggas.

9. It is no longer the case of a few rotten apples in a basket, but a rotten fruit market with a few good baskets.

10. This how they fill up prisons, pushing this type music to the youth knowing the youth is easily manipulated easily persuasive and these kids will turn into trash in the future

11. Deuteronomy 28 tells us everything we need to know. Black music is trash, and it wasn’t like that back in the hey day when Motown produced classy music. Unfortunately, most athletes, rappers and actors are the worse people to admire. IF we don’t truly return to God, we are finished as a people.

12. Agree with Trick Daddy. India need to hang it up and stop hating with her old self 😂😂😂 she old and angry

13. I feel like niggas won the civil war against black people.

14. I stand with my Girl India Arie, Love Her and what she stands for❤❤❤

15. I predict the marriage rate with black women will rise from 1 in 4 to 1 in 6. Our sisters are losing their respectability with other cultures including our own. I have two sons whom I asked and they said they would never date a black woman so you can’t trip on celebrities with non black wives.

16. The Democratic Party definitely are niggas.

17. I just know aint nobody listening to no Common or John Legend when they committing crimes

18. It aint the worst song ever…its the embracement of it. People have KIDS singing it. As Dirty as Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle was, or Uncle Luke “Pop Dat Pussy”….you had to sneak those in the house. Mom and Dad would give you hell if they caught you with it. You didn’t play it front of Grandma and the Old Heads. If you played Rap in front of the Old Heads, you’d break out Pete Rock and CL Smooth T.R.O.Y. or NWA ‘Express Yourself” but you wouldn’t play the harsh stuff.
    And even Juvie….you might play Back that Thang Up at the BBQ but you wouldn’t play the PLay Back Dat Azz Up version, not if the elders and the youngins were around
    But now, you got the BABIES..still in diapers just learning to speak singing it.

19. Young Miami will never hold a candle 🕯 to India Arie.

20. A lot of black young females are dying behind these rap lyrics as well so tread carefully by what you listen to because art imitates life experiences in these streets. For example black females setting up dudes for their money in exchange for sex or being a plug for their man are examples of ( “Spend Dat”) have lead to a lot of black females deaths so carry on and you will find out the hard way.🤔

21. I’m over this song. I don’t think glorifying screaming and boosting is a good look for our young adults. First of all boys should not be carrying goyard bags that’s suspect .

22. I’m 54, and I like the song! It’s entertainment. However, I see India’s point of view as well.

23. Best Summertime songs/anthems for cook outs, family reunions and BBQ’s; I’ll go first:

    1. Summertime (DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince)

    2. Summertime in the LBC (Dove Shack)

    3. California Love (PAC)

    4. This Is How We Do It (Montell Jordan)

    5. Outstanding (Gap Band)

    6. Candy (Cameo)

    7. Before I Let Go (Maze ft. Frankie Beverly)

24. When our Beloved Ancestor Harriet Tubman was interviewed & asked “How many slaves have you freed? I’m paraphrasing – OUR BELOVED MISS HARRIET said “I’VE FREED THOUSANDS & I COULD’VE FREED THOUSANDS MORE IF ONLY THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE SLAVES” BLACK PEOPLE need to regain our HIGH INTEGRITY, MORALS, CHARACHTER & VALUES! Actually, ALL PPL SHOULD. This “song” & those like it should not be commended – they do nothing to uplift anyone & raise our standard of being, thinking AND righteousness

25. I love India Arie’s music but it’s hypocritical AF to talk shit about current rappers when y’all were shakin’ ya asses to Lil Kim, Zane, Tupac, NWA, Biggy, Ludacris, Missy Elliott, Khia, etc! Be so ffr!
    If “spend dat” constitutes as “trash,” so do those other trash-ass, nasty, disgusting, degrading ass songs! Please stop with the BS!

26. Yes, we’ve had a history of degrading music that was planted in our community. Just because nothing was said (which there was) in the 90s doesn’t mean that ppl can’t wake up and finally see the detriment that we are causing ourselves? These are kids!! Dayum!!

27. I thought that song was a joke when I first heard it

28. I don’t even listen to hip hop no more all satanic

29. People been shaking ass and being freaky for 1000s or years way before rap/hip-hop club type music even existed lol.

    People till this day brag about the hippy sex culture and ohhh how wonder it was back then and even more within the black culture we’ve always had love making music and of course it’s got more raunchy over time but India acts like wasn’t no freaks on nasty mode back in the day lol 😂.

    I get what she’s saying but I still think she’s not thinking about the full picture.

    It’s freaks at rock concerts, EDM/techno raves, Rnb concerts and rap concerts lol. I’ve been to all so I know so no it’s not just booty shaking music turning people into freaks.

30. This coming from a 50 yr old man going by the name Trick Daddy. India Arie is speaking to the younger generation. Shes speaking to the global impact of black culture. Hes looking at Miami culture. Thats exactly why his his music is irrelevant today. NO SUBSTANCE. BIG UP TO THE QUEEN INDIA!
    Those who like what trick daddy said “go tell your children its okay to steal and blow the money in a strip club!” Lmaooo. The message.

31. I denounce the woman who made this song and the people who esteem and celebrate it! They are not allowed to the cookout or the graduation

32. Fuck these oldheads who don’t want to evolve past their own ignorance. He’s a washed up nearly one-hit-wonder. Bye Trick Granddaddy.

33. Trick Diddy out here looking like Rotten ground beef, trying to throw mud at somebody for Keeping UP our Standards?

34. That song is horrible. Stop worshipping money.

35. Trick Daddy has no class. He just wants to trick on Yung Miami. India is Classy and Wise. Yung Miami is Ratchet and brainwashed. I have 2 or 3 India CD’s as for Yung Miami’s music – zilch, 0. I don’t listen to none of this new “rap” music. And a majority of the artist I do listen to are positive for the most part. Sure, there is positive and negative in all of us, but I refuse to listen to anyone who is pushing negativity to the people 99.9 percent of the time.

36. I just heard the song today for the first time……

    I said out loud “WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?”
    I thought it was a parody 😐
    The lyrics are grimy, but overall it justs sounds like SHIT!!
    The beat=trash
    The hook=trash
    The melody=trash
    We all know that song TRASH 💯🤦🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️

37. Trick too old to be talking so reckless. I get it he’s taking up for the City of Miami. However, India Arie was speaking facts about Spend Dat. No disrespect to Yung Miami 😊

38. Trick and young Miami influencers for the prison industrial complex. I bet they are heavy invested in the prison industry stocks, these ignorant low life can’t see they being played by the judicial system who are targeting our youth. The same people who pays these rappers to produce degenerate lyrics to target our youths they all are related and work hand and hand with judges, district attorneys, politicians, lawyers, stockbrokers you name it they are all apart of destroying black peoples and making a profit off it. Now asked yourself who side young Miami and trick daddy is on “ain’t hard to tell”.

39. I’m just glad a black woman spoke on it 💯because we all know it’s pure fuckery

40. Songs like this are the reason why our courts (including our juvenile courts) are filled with shoplifters.

41. Historically, Blacks have been used to help enslave other blacks and keep one another down. Great strategy!

42. INDIA IRIE is royalty to us. Trick Daddy is toilet paper on our shoe.

43. Where are the so called black leaders why haven’t come out against all of these lowlife negative entertainers

44. India Arie all day long. Most comments support India and I am so glad to see that 😊.
    Black American women, mothers, daughters, aunties, sisters, friend’s, partners, wives, and Nanas are examples to young girls.
    Great music that you can sing over generations , cry with and fall in love with have been removed from our Black American culture by white music executives. Currently, the rap music is not classic and will not be remembered. Yung Miami, Sexxy Redd, Cardi B, and Megan TS are promoted to destroy our young black girls images.
    The world will always remember Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, New Edition, Boys to Men and other music icons.
    Time to shut trashy rap music down. Time to stop supporting trashy sell outs who are terrible examples of our community

45. People might not understand what I am about to say. I’m going to say it anyway. During the 60’s at the height of the civil rights movement James Brown came out with a record called “ America is my home”

    Black Folk tore James Brown a new A$$ hole. The next record he came out with was “ Say it loud, I’m Black and I’m proud” Kanye West was hanging out with Can(buck)Dance Owens wearing a Wyte Lives Matter Shirt. He just did a concert in Tampa FL a lot of people there were NOT us. But too many of them were US.
    If we learn what we did in the past in such situations, we would know what to do in the present, when it fits.
    My point? We get what our hand calls for, and what we are willing to accept for a catchy beat.

46. Aint nothin wrong with India promoting CLASS instead of ASS

47. I had LisaRaye pop up on my timeline twerking to this song. She has to be around 60 or close to that age. This doesn’t help our black people when grandmas want to be 16 instead of 61.

48. Folks gotta remember that in the 90s we didn’t have social media. Back then artists took hits from the community too. Like when Spelman College canceled Nelly for TipDrill or Queen Latifa started the whole UNTIY movement for calling woman outta their names. NWA tracked by FBI “Gangster” rap became a target by many high government groups so yes there was major backlash, but only the results of such influence made the headline news. Same trap that’s happening now. What we didn’t know, is how the record labels were using artists to ‘purposely’ influence the black community in negative ways so yes unfortunately Yung Miami is one of those “artists” being used. Real HIP HOP is a refined art that takes skill and soul and India is right a ‘Frequency’ old skool hip hop don’t make you angry. “Rap” just a word, just a way to distract the intellectual into the jail cells to fill their pockets with coins and glasses with scotch. Squid games😉

49. Steal and spend it on a Goyard bag….the Idiocracy!

50. I’m trying to figure out how this girl became the antichrist because of this song. There are millions of songs worse than this. SHE has songs way worse than this. I’m confused.
