Question: Is there a new trend in hip hop. Are male artist beginning to show appreciation for sista's and women in general? hmmm. There are two answers to this question Yes and No!
I admit that I like hearing -Ms. Independent (Jamie Foxx and Neyo) and 5 Star Chick (Yo Gotti). But after researching the Gotti Lyrics and seeing that in the actual rap another word so commonly used to describe women is used instead of chick I am dismayed.
Brothers of all colors this is a memo to you. No woman enjoys being called out her name for any reason. I know that sometimes we act outside of ourselves but we are far better than a mere word. Understand that the plight and journey of a woman is one that you will never really be able to comprehend. This is the reason why God made us the child bearer. We have a ability above all else to take it and make it all while supporting you.
To all Hip Hop lovers and artist - please show women respect even if we don't respect ourselves. Some of us are lost and do not understand the nature of being a true women i.e. Ms. Independent.
With that, know that music has the ability to change how we see each other and ourselves. So artists, in my opinion, have to learn to transmit respect for women rather than disrespect.
Love, Self Respect, and Hip Hop
