From Chains and Whips and back again

"Funny how money, chains and whips can make you feel so free" 

- J.Cole 

 

It's so ironic and sad that these rappers don't realize how easily they are being manipulated and shipped around the world to entertain and make money like the CD's their record company produces and like we used to be when we were slaves. They must not realize how many people especially these days are growing up trying to become rappers, it wouldn't be too hard to replace a rapper in the industry. As easily you become famous is how easily you can find yourself back at the bottom

Every last one of these rappers are so quick to say how original they are, yet all their music has the same idea:

Objectifying Women with comments like: "Bitches ain't shit but let me hit"

trying to humiliate their fellow rappers by saying: "These other rappers can't touch me, I make more in a week than they make in a year" 

and my personal favorite "Ain't nobody on my level"

As an actual example here's a quote from the rapper 2 chainz(or as I like to call him too ignorant) "Pull up to the scene with my ceiling missing. Middle finger to my competition. I'm different, yeah I'm different"

Such shallow ideas and they claim to be so deep...smh

Women’s Rights: Tights dresses, Smart Mouths and Dumb Comments

Women’s Rights: Tights dresses, Smart Mouths and Dumb Comments

As many contributions and advancements that women have made over the years it’s hard to believe that women have reverted to the stereotypes of being paranoid, jealous and  rude for no reason. I will argue that the women being portrayed on shows like Basketball Wives, Love and Hip Hop and Bad Girl's club are perforimng for an American audience that's addicted to Ignorance.

This is a season of Bad Girl’s Club as you can see they title of the show is Bad GIRL’ S not women club. I don’t think this name was accidental in any way the producers knew that the females auditioning for the show would be “girls’” trying to prove a point not “women” standing for a cause. Although this entire cast is African American women shows that are biracial like Real Housewives of Everywhere Dance Moms  both groups of women are presented a hyper sexual way, all with their backs arched and in tight outfits.

Granted, this isn't really the way women are, but if this is all America wants to see there's a good chance that all women will be perceived this way. Especially since a lot of women on the television are conveyed this way I feel like a lot of young women are acting like these  girls on these shows because they think it's cute if they only knew....

Okay,Okay we can't blame everything on these women. The producers and writers of these shows love to show the women trash talking each other and getting to fights but they never show them resolving the problems and making up..ya know acting adults? Yeah we hardly see that.

"I am a feminist, and what that means to me is much the same as the meaning of the fact that I am Black: It means that I must undertake to love myself as though my very life depends on "self-love and self-respect" -June Jordan

I consider myself a feminist and I would love to see more women on t.v. quoting things like this apposed to "I'm the baddest bitch", "She can't do it like me" or "Her man want me anyway". It's not fair to any woman to have to compete with the stereotypes of television. That's why  a lot of women feel mistreated in their relationships and friendships. It's impossible to fit into the stereotypes of girls and expect to be treated like a woman.
