Jalylah Burrell, a recovering Conflicted Feminist, rapped Ludacris on the knuckles following his undeserved Grammy win for Best Rap Album last night. Her beef with Luda is his beef with Oprah, plus his unrepentant misogynistic rap stylie.
Checkit:
"That he would follow up his single "Moneymaker" with "Runaway Love" is outrageous. Young women's limbs equated to drumsticks make them want to run away. The global sex trade or what he casually refer to as "Pimpin' All Over the World" make them want to run away. Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, by proxy, makes young women want to run away. And when a self-made Black billionaire philanthropist held him accountable for his self destructive commercial musical production, he, who is too narcissistic for self-evaluation, questioned her credibility and authenticity and continues to do so up until this very day. "
Except for the "Ras Kass Faux Pas" she commits with the over-reaching sex trade comment, I agree with what Jalylah says here. Luda wants it both ways - to be ignorant and socially conscious, all on the same album. The end result is a Grammy, which scares me.
feminist since freshman year of high school. never conflicted.

JB, I saw you on a panel at NYU last year where you spoke about the past conflict you have between the hip-hop you love, and your personal values as a woman. That's why I wrote "recovering".

I am a big luda fan .. but you have me thinking. Tomorrow night CNN is hosting some program called Hip Hop Art or Poison. I'm hoping they will probably touch on some of the women degregation issues.
