Diced Pineapples >:)




One of my favorite songs is Diced Pinapples by Rick Ross featuring Drake and Wale. I love the beat of the song, it makes me want to dance, but besides that the song can have an offensive meaning to it. I believe that this song specifically portrays women because this song talks about woman's body parts sexually and Rick Ross wanting to do sexual things to his woman. Basically, it's making woman sound like a boy toy and making woman important only because of their body parts and not their personality. The song was created by Rick Ross he thought of the name of the song and the meaning. He had recently had a seizure and his doctor told him he had to eat a lot of fruit and he thought about pineapples and since then everyday he has been eating diced pineapples. He called Drake and Wale for some help and they all agreed on the idea of the song being called diced pineapples because Ross said, "She could be my diced pineapple. This special lady, she could be what I wake up to every morning and help me get by every day." though it turned out to be sexual. Even though this was a very creative song choice many woman would be offended to hear and watch the video of the song because the video shows woman showing off a lot of body parts. Woman will think, "Wow, this is how woman are being portrayed when in reality not all woman are like this". I love Rick Ross, Drake, and Wale, but sometimes their songs can portray many sexual things towards woman which is so wrong because it can influence people today to think it's okay to see woman as sexual toys
