Tipdrill- portrayal of women in music contd.

First off, check this music video by Nelly, called tipdrill!


The word "tipdrill" means When a girl bends over and her man puts his penis in her ass crack without any penetration. This is usually done as foreplay before doggystyle sex or as an act when the man and the woman do not want to engage in full intercourse. It is the ass equivalant of a titty fuck. The woman's ass cheeks are used to excite the penis, sometimes to ejaculation. Her ass is "polishing your tip".

ALSO, a girl who has a nice ass. This is because a girl needs a nice ass in order for this act to be pleasureable.

Many people confuse this word for the equivelent of running the train. This is because this act is used by many men on one woman on after the other. This is common because a tip drill does not involve penetration, making it easier to be repeated on one girl in a short amount of time.

The act is mock performed in Nelly's "Tip Drill" video. Also, the video focuses on the ass crack and at the end, Nelly swipes a credit card on a girl's ass, simulating the act.
"See now i wanna let you ride but the rubber might slide you's a tip drill girl you a tip drill"

"Now baby girl bring it ova let me spit my pimp juice i need a tip drill i need a tip drill" 

is THIS how women are now portrayed in music videos!? as mere sex objects?! and men are like their "owners" in a sense that they have full control over women! for example, in the video, why is it that the men are all fully clothed and the women are baring their all!

The video featured woman in bikinis gyrating, rubbing against other people and spreading their legs while having money and gold chains rubbed up against their buttocks.
Context session response
This clip caused very high levels of offence, with almost half scoring it either 8,9 or 10. Women and older people expressed very high levels of offence. A third thought this type of content should never be shown on television, others would restrict it until late night (post 2300).
Focus group response
Unlike the Fountains of Wayne music video, this was felt by many to be strongly offensive. It was described as looking “like soft porn”, and the way the men interacted with the women was thought to be demeaning to women. This attitude was shared by both teenagers and older groups, although older groups express more disgust at the video and younger ones spoke more of the fact that it is degrading to women.
“It was objectionable because not only did they have no tops, but they were touching themselves.”  (Male, parent of younger children, BC1, terrestrial)
“He was sniffing them like a dog, it was coarse. It was like completely women as sex objects and that’s all they’re there for and the lyrics that go, it has to be your arse because it’s not your face, or something.”
(Female, non-parent 26-34, BC1, multi-channel)
“I think it’s the gesticulations that they’re making - they’re imitating a sexual act during the songs.”
(Male, non-parent, 35-54, C2DE, multichannel)
“Revolting!” (Female, parent of younger children, BC1, terrestrial)
“Ugly and rubbish!” (Male, non-parent, 55+, BC1, terrestrial)
Among this torrent of objections, there were a few isolated individuals who owned up to enjoying aspects of the video.
“It makes me feel like I want to go to the gym…because the girls they look good.”
(Female, parent of older children, African-Caribbean, C2DE, terrestrial)
Even these viewers had reservations about aspects of the behaviour, however, and felt it was not suitable for early evening broadcasting because of the example it gave:
“I don’t reckon the young boys of today have got much respect for the young girls…because of what they see on the television…”
 (Female, parent of older children, African-Caribbean, C2DE, terrestrial)
While this clip caused considerable offence in its own right, it was not thought to be as much of a concern as some of the other clips, which might be shown on mainstream television. People do not expect to see this type of material on any of the main channels, and most believe that even on music channels, this would have been played quite late, making it less of a concern.
Summary points
Scenes of groups of people involved in sexual behaviour were of more concern than couples.
Material which suggests or might engender an attitude of disrespect towards women is particularly worrying to these participants , especially but not exclusively to parents
Anything targeting a younger audience is likely to be judged on what sort of behaviour it is believed it might encourage
