Additional rap

I think the Three Six Mafia Song "Chicken Head" should be added to this article page. Most are familiar with this song, not necessarily Redman. Cjcarney (talk) 21:46, 17 January 2018 (UTC)cjcarney[reply]

Everything about this article is wrong.

A chickenhead is an easily manipulated woman. It's was in the AAVE long before Steinbeck or any rapper. Pimps have manipulated women into prostitution for eons. Chickenhead was a commonly used term among black pimps in Storyville (New Orleans) in the late 1800s - early 1900s. Steinbeck may have picked up the term there. 68.14.196.210 (talk) 18:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
