I have this old song by Will Smith on my iPhone, and here is the refrain:

Listen homeboys, don't mean to burst your bubble/But girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble/So the next time a girl tries to give you the play/Just remember my rhymes and get the hell away

When I first heard this song recently, I said to myself, "This song was obviously ahead of its time with its message!"

The song (and video) implies that black girls ain't nothing but trouble, so I wouldn't call it ahead of its time since black women have been bad news for ages.
