The lap dancing is what this song is all about: paying women while you objectify them...and the women seeking empowerment by engaging in the process.
That should be sufficient for anyone questioning the relevence.
The issue of whether black men "like" black women is reversed, according to a number of theorists. We're actually more inclined, and the data seems to be supporting, jorgelito's notion that black women aren't necessarily interested in black men, given their social and economic situation.
The history of anguish over black men and white women (the taboo, the lure, the discussion over) goes back for longer than a few generations. It's actually dug deep into our historic and racist roots.
actually, jorgelito, your post made excellent points. If you want to read up on the theory behind what you were describing (vicsious cycle of incarcerated males funneling in and out of their communities thereby breaking the social fabric), you can probably get some reading material by googling "tipping point."
