"Bitch bad. Woman good. Lady better. They misunderstood." - Lupe Fiasco
Hi lady!
Saw your ad for your event tonight and the
title hit me in the face. Brought me back to Lupe's brilliant approach
to the term "bad bitch" its connotations and effect on the female &
male youngsters. Would love you hear your thoughts.

To begin: I don't really fuck with Lupe like that. I don't know him personally, but I don't trust what he says... so I can't care for his opinion more than to ignore and respect that he has one. In my opinion (because I'm allowed to have one, too) he's one of the artists people like to call "conscious"as if the rest rhyme in their sleep. From my point of view, he's also one of the artists who seems to have more perspective in his music than he does in his waking life. Some of these artist tend to always have opinions on shit that doesn't concern them, and which they offer no solutions for. Quite frankly, I dislike all "conscious" rappers removed from everyday philanthropy because the masses take their word as gospel, forgetting that you should pay more attention to what people do than what they say --especially if what they say has an effect on record sales.
