Ben Folds - Bitches Aint Shit

[@mattsendrowski3646]

Seeing people in the comments that are unaware it's a Dr Dre cover and think Ben Folds wrote this song, makes it better than it already was.

[@superezekill5688]

That's what makes these covers fun. The cover by Dynamite Hack for "Boyz N The Hood" was another one that had people thinking it was an original. The recognition for that song came after the release of the Straight outta Compton movie.

Honestly, I understand that its not exactly apropriate. But here in Europe we often have a different approach. We dont delete history. We put in a disclaimer, that we see this in different way now. This song actually exists. It WAS made but now we feel differently about it. Like, we dont burn Hitler's book Mein Kampf, we teach kids that it exists, and why its content is not good (not comparing ben to hitler here). Thats much more educational learning from past mistakes, than erasing them. Also we have old kids books with caricatures of black people. We dont delete that either. We teach our kids that we dont do it like that anymore, but we used to. We have grown wiser.
