Teen rapper angry with guys ogling his mum comes up with YouTube hit
By ANIThursday, October 14, 2010
NEW YORK - A Brooklyn rap prodigy, who became sick of guys ogling and catcalling his mother and who came up with a song titled ‘Stop Looking at My Moms’, has become a YouTube sensation.
The video by Brian Bradley, 14, who performs under the name the Astronomical Kid, has racked up nearly 200,000 views with its lyrics, “Just ’cause I’m a shorty, don’t think I won’t do you no harm - stop looking at my moms!”.
Wearing an 80s-style gold rope chain and a Mohawk, the tongue-twisting lyricist, who looks about 10, says his inspiration came from real life.
“I didn’t like the way people were staring at my mother when I walked down the street. It was very offending,” the New York Daily News quoted the Bedford-Stuyvesant teen as saying.
“Every kid goes through that; every mother goes through that.
“Women, they are not pieces of meat. They are human beings. They should be respected. Men should know better,” he added.
Bradley, a 5-foot-3 high school freshman, said he was infuriated by drooling men hollering, “Yo, Ma! What’s good, Ma?”, at his mother on the street.
“I decided instead of being violent, and going about it the wrong way, I’d put it on a record,” he said.
“It’s a track everyone can relate to. I don’t like people lookin’ at my moms. I’m pretty sure nobody likes it,” he added. (ANI)
