Rap's effect on strip clubs
Muddy
USA
There was some controversy at this past world series on having gangster rappers at the ballgame but I don't watch that pre game bullshit anyway so what do I care, but I thought it would be a good chance to breach the topic...
In hindsight what does this community think of it. It seems like hip hop and strip clubs really fused in the early 2000's, big time. And while there might be a few more 2amers than there otherwise would have been because of that marriage, I also think on the other hand, it kept strip clubs relevant in the culture. It's not uncool to be at a strip club today. It's cool to work at strip club. It's cool to say your going to a strip club, it's not really a creepy at all. You can tell people about it, and nobody blinks, your not going to a booth in Times Square to jerk off anymore, it's a place where you can catch all types of trendy folks. I think you got to give it to rap for propping it up in the pop culture world so much.
But I just can't get around the fact around the fact that southern rap that is dominant of today and the last couple decades now is just downright awful. To be honest, I don't even know what that is. Old school NYC/East Coast rap, we can do that all that day, that stuff is awesome, but they don't really play that do they. West coast had some solid stuff too, I don't hear that too much either. But with the hip hop you hear in these strip clubs right now, yeah I just can't do it.
One time a dancer that looked just like a dead ringer for a young Brittany Spears was begging me to have sex with her, and get this, she was to pay ME tens of thousands to do it. But then the rap songs (read animal noises) of today came on over the speakers and it was so intolerable, I had to leave. I told her I just couldn't stay, maybe next time.

As an old white guy, I can't understand the whole hip hop culture but it has limited my choices on where to go strip clubbing in my area.
There have been many great black entertainers. Rock and Roll, Jazz and pop but I cannot understand how rap is a legitimate genre of music.
But it is what it is and I work with it at the clubs as much as I dislike it. The only rap song that I recognize and like is "The way you move" by Outkast.
I don't make it rain.
The only problem I see is too many stupid women trying to live by city gitls cardi b sexxy red megan the stallion etc lyrics
Im also joking not a fan of drill or the gay atlanta fashion
I prefer west coast rap
I rarely notice or care about the music unless it's super out-of-place. Boardroom in Brockton has a thing for Imagine Dragons. WTF.
If it fits the girl, even better. I had a hot goth looking chick on me to Living Dead Girl.
Also while my friends and colleagues are quite diverse I’m not that way as far as attraction to women. I’m a middle aged white guy who basically wants the kind of girls I preferred to date when I was younger with the kind of music I’ve listened to. There are a few clubs who cater heavily to my demographic and preferences and honestly that’s the way I like it. I’m not negative towards anyone else’s preferences but hip hop clubs are definitely not my scene and honestly I like it when clubs have primary demographics and preferences they cater to and hopefully everyone has an option or 2 in their area they like.
Maybe I'm biased because I'm a southerner, but I feel like rap creates a better club vibe and the bass lines really work for dancers. Follies was all hip hop whenever I went. Every time I'm up north they're always playing EDM remixes or some Imagine Dragons bullshit.
It all depends on the dancer though. If some goth pawg is naked on all fours with some Deftones or Motley Crue on, I don't mind that one bit!
It's honestly more of a black culture thing. Specifically black urban culture that has grown like weed into the general cultural zeitgeist. I know most of you are 50+, so it seems strange to you only because your not engaged with what beings pushed by modern day entertainment industries and general hood/street/thug (pick your poison) influencers.
It's actually not uncommon to go to a high school dance or young adult (18 to 25) club and have rap songs break out. Ive seen white girls twerk with more enthusiasm to black music than any other genre.
Rap music fits in Strip clubs because of what it explicitly talks about: Make that bread (money), objectification of women (this is TUSCL, does this really need explanation), guys spending money showing off (that's basically US without the nuance).
