Okay, I should generalise. Not *all* hip-hop is bad. For example, I've always loved
this song, which is pretty much free from objectification.
Oh, and don't read the subtitles of that other version that were supplied back when MTV was only available in English, as they're wrong. Seriously, in the whole song there's no mention of "doing the nasty", yet MTV's translation had that line there.
Here's a better translation, instead, despite the lack of punctuation.
(Please note that "to let the corks pop" is a literal translation from "Korken knallen lassen". In German this means just that: To open Champagne by letting the cork "pop". Nothing about "doing the nasty" implied there, not even today. It's a metaphor for celebrating greatly in general.)
The song even got good singing and a tune you remember.
Now, that is nice music. But nooo, everyone has to be a Gangsterrapper these days.
