Only a few pictures of men could get glimpse of a bathing suitĀ a bra top orĀ a wardrobeĀ malfunction but that was it, it would go no further. Lets be clear, I also adore most female rappers in this industry but these are half-naked most of the time because is it so common place these days.
When you are an avid activist of women In the arts, such as myself, you understandĀ Lil Kim and Mrs. Minaj and message of female expression and empowerment, even if you don’t care for the perception and the molding of the young female minds. They are both beautiful women with a message to women, but not little girls!
However unfortunateĀ but obvious is thatĀ women have abandoned the life lessons of solidarity and we are culture “Miseducated” but that money will overshadow the power to our people and education of our youthĀ will make millions these days.
The revised rap blue print for women Ā isĀ a paradox to the Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill and her foreshadowing on the slut like activity of women that we celebrate and even honor at the Grammys.
Lauryn was cut from a different cloth and opened our ears to self-pride and self- preservation.
Apparently the Hip Hop Nation will not be able to envision another genius who also carried herself like a queen, and not a “Trap Queen.”
Back then, a person would not be half-naked every day unless she was a day time hooker.
While we as women and menĀ should be somewayĀ protesting, and demanding fair treatment by men, we are subconsciously every stereotype to “keep” a man.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Thanks to Snap Chat, Twitter, andĀ Instigram we are so disillusioned ofĀ what is substantive or superficial?
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā No pictures of Queen Latifah‘s big draws or MC Lyte‘sĀ Ā panties would have been posted all over social media.
We relentlessly speak of Women Empowerment, but that is not what the younger listeners are going to identify with and embrace.
Ā Ā Ā Ā The message of mental strength is lost with butt shots, mindless sex andĀ money over anything genuine in this life. We have to nourish our families physically and psychologically
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā We don’t comprehended how lost and fake we are in this world and Kendrick Lamar is kicking off that knowledge.
Lauryn Hill foreshadowed our mental and spiritual weakeningĀ and the truth was too scary for her so she escaped her public existence and moved out of the industry.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Mrs. Hill is the woman who could have been on the level of Nina Simone,but she escaped her surroundings and lost her musical vision in this ever-changing hasty culture.
It is challenging to stand up for your self-respect and principles when you are trying to protect your people, usually the backlash comes fromĀ your message from the very people you are trying to empower.
23 year old Gavlyn, artist on the “Broken Complex” record label has released her Indie Rap Compilation Ā in 2012 and changed the game.
Ā Gavlyn will gain a massive Indie buzz if she continues her personal voyage into a male dominated field, Hip Hop! Hip Hop has abandoned the respect for artist like Jean Grae,Mc. Lyte,Queen Latifah, and Bahamadia. The media almost primarily Ā markets Ā looks and sexuality. Gavyln, you stay humble,ma. You are truly needed and admired by young heads, and old heads alike.Thanks for the clarity. West Coast Female MC’s are own their grind,but are usually ignored.Female Mc’s are a unnoticed brand, and the reputation of who they engaged in a sexual encounter with, seems to always outweigh their ability to command that respect. Some women have an alter ago similar to Iggy Azalea model agency also cutting those checks. Iggy Azalea and Nikki Minaj proves themselves, even with their over sexed image. In this case, you have Gavlyn who has ridden her Indie Wave in the background and used her own street team to ensure her successes. If Gavlyn continues to drop hot 16’s and stay authentic, she will flourish. Stay tuned to hear more from this sista!
