At our talent show last week, the final—and most popular—song was “Take Ya Home” by the supposed fiancé of most of my female students: the rapper Lil BowWow. The chorus, which several female students sang in the background while dancing provocatively, glorifies the rapper, ending: “I mean you run through my mind like all the time to the point that I just wanna take ya home.” I found this song...
