Melyssa Ford Critical of The Game, Needs To Check Herself

December 26th, 2006 | videoblogger | 11 comments | 4,261 views

We all heard The Game’s single from his new album “Wouldn’t Get Far”. Pretty Catchy song right. It contains a beat and a verse from Kanye West, and has critical, comical lyrics that serve as a commentary on all of the women in the industry that use their promiscuous nature to get ahead (no pun intended) in the music and modelling industries. Now, a rapper that has sold over 6 million copies worldwide in less than two years probably knows something about industry women. Following the release, we all heard the backlash from Melyssa Ford. It goes something like this Ã¢â‚¬Å“I am really confused and saddened that he decided to include my name on a record that disparages the characters of women who have worked hard in the industry to make successful careers for themselves.Ã¢â‚¬Â It then went on to point out that she in fact does not drive a honda accord, as stated in the song . My question is this: Have you ever seen anything involving Melyssa Ford that did not include a picture or video of her strutting around nearly naked? If it exists, it’s rare. I have no problems with the way she presents herself, nor am I saying that The Game is any kind of positive influence, but i will say this: Melyssa Ford is about as good for the image of women as The Game is for men. That isn’t saying much. She claims that it “disparages the characters of women who have worked hard in the industry to make careers for themselves”, but come on, don’t you think that she did enough of that herself with all of her video appearances and videos. Do you think people are watching her videos because she has some sort of talent or because she has something intelligent to say? No, they buy it because she walks around in lingerie in extremely sexually suggestive poses. Is Melyssa Ford good looking?Yeah. Is The Game a hypocrite? Probably. But for her to come out and pretend to be some sort of positive influence on women who want to succeed in life, then it needs to be settled that she is in fact, just as bad of an influence for little girls as any gangster rapper is for little boys. You want a positive African American role model for women, don’t go looking for the extras in rap videos. Try the likes of genius poet Maya Angelou or self-made talented rap artist Missy Elliot.
Thats it, all love, i’m out.

Im impressed. I really like your first post. And i totally agree with the fact that Melissa Ford is trying to put herself in a category that she is not even close to. Keep up the good work.

Great first post man, finally some one who knows how to write a quality article…A+. Of course no one is better than me though…..lol

Comment by Melissa Ford on 27 December 2006:

Being good looking is not a talent, but it is a gift, and she has used to get a head in life….no pun intended….deja vu…lol. The game is just trying to sell records and is doing what most rappers do anyway..which is to make shit up, thats no big surprise. None of these guys are role models.

Lady, you missed the whole point of the article. It’s not dissing Melyssa Ford at all nor is it promoting the game. Its saying neither of them are doing anything positive. Actually read it, then make an intelligent response.

I know I am mad late, but I wanted to comment.
I agree with the article, and some of first few post. I thought I was the only one with enough sense to realize what Melyssa is really about. Melyssa is always trying to make herself out to be someone she is not. When people try to do that, their secret always comes to light. Shes always trying to put herself in a category that she is not even close to as someone has already said.

She hasn’t used looking good to get ahead, has used plastic surgery to get ahead. Obviously.

I dont think Melyssa has anything or has done anything that would make ANYONE hate on her. She always talking about how someone is a bad influence, and she has not done anything different from what the other person has done. Please…

The article is neither right nor wrong. Has anyone on this site even looked anything up on Melyssa Ford and how she got started. Many of the video models have went to college or were in music videos to pay for college. What makes her any different from Gisele Bundchen or Tyra Banks, Nothing! They are all beautiful women who get paid to take pictures, act in movies and in videos. Whether Melyssa or any other women in a music video got there because of her “hard work” she’s there. So get over it and stop hating on her and Game is a lame ass anyways. He’s probably mad because she wouldn’t get with his lame ass. Leave the video chicks alone because the more you talk badly about them the more money they are making to do what they do. Making money is just that, making money. And, whether she is making it the right way she damn sure making it!
