MeToo Is Coming For LL Cool J, Bell Biv Devoe & MC Lyte …. UH OH … 1990 Legends Under Attack!!

Last month, rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was hit with four separate lawsuits, alleging abuse.

Now #MeToo advocates are coming for some other stars – not for their actions, but for spreading what they are calling “grooming culture” in music.

One advocate is going hard at three artists: LL Cool J, Bell Biv Devoe, and MC Lyte. The advocate claims that these artists all helped spread a grooming and abuse culture in hip hop, that encouraged predators.

First LL Cool J. She pointed to lyrics from his hit single Big Ole Butt, where LL – 21 at the time – described pulling up to high school and meeting a teenage girl.

Here is a snippet of the lyrics:

I went to the high school about three o’clock
To try to catch a cutie ridin’ my jock
My homeboy’s jeep, the system blastin’
Cold forty dogs, smilin’ and laughin’
Girls all over, the kind I adore
I felt like a kid in a candy store
That’s when I seen her
Her name was Brenda
She had the kind of booty that I’d always remember
I said to my man, “Stop the jeep”
She’s only seventeen but, yo, don’t sleep
I kicked the bass like an NFL punter
And scoped the booty like a big game hunter
I said to the girl, “Yo, you look tired
Let’s go get some rest, relax by the fire”
I put the big booty on a bearskin rug
She gave me a kiss, I have her a hug
I said to the girl, “them young boys ain’t nothin’
You want to get freaky, let me kiss your belly button”
I circled it and teased it and made her squeal
Grabbed a pack of bullets and pulled out the steel
When I was through, I wiped the sweat from my eyes
When to the kitchen and got some sweet potato pies
Tina busted in my house while I was eatin’
You know what I said
Too bad you caught me cheatin’,

Then, Media Take Out confirmed that the advocate turned her attention to MC Lyte – proving it’s not just male artists who were spreading the toxic culture. In Lyte’s track 2 Young 4 What, released when she was 21 years old – the female rapper explained how she preferred to date “young boys” about seventeen.

Lyte rapped:

t may sound nasty and it may sound mean
But I’m into little boys that are about seventeen
I don’t know why, but they put up a fight
And hot damn that excites the MC Lyte’Cause yo I love a young buck, that give a firm {fuck}
But once in a while, they become lovestruck
But that’s okay though, cause I can handle them
I love young boys on the brink, of being young menI mold em, shape em, make em then I break em in
They get the job done, I make em get the job done
Well, swell, make em kiss and tell
All of their friends around the neighborhood

Finally, the advocate turned to the popular 1990s hip hop/R&B group Bell Biv Defoe – to show that it wasn’t just rappers who pushed “grooming culture.” In their song Do Me Ronnie Defoe, 23, Ricky Bell, 23, and Michael Devoe, 22, sand about dating “underage” girls.

Ronnie rapped:

Backstage, underage, adolescent
How ya doin’, fine, she replied
I sighed, I like to do the wild thing
Action took place
Kinda wet, don’t forget
The J, the I, the M, the M, the Y, why’all
I need a body bag
