...music, it won't go like that. We need "be happy with your body" lyrics, "love yourself wholly and truly and you'll never be alone waiting for Tyrone to call you" lyrics. Oh and we must address this cult of "chickenhead envy," a phrase coined by the "hip hop feminist" Joan Morgan, the bandit that dogs sisters who work hard and feel that they deserve a salaried member of the male population only to feel that they often lose him to girls who make it their life goal to catch this type of man. There needs to be several...
...Making child care glamorous is tough, so I propose that we get confrontational. Men's insistence that we can't raise our children bugs me. Let's take it to the stage. The constant mantra in male hip hop is about the absense of a father, while mentioning the mother only because she was there, like a stand in. Boo!

Though it was sometimes hard to hear over the quiet buzz of audience chatter, especially with the acoustical downfalls of the athletic building, the casual concert setting could not detract from the magic of hearing a live professional...
This one kid I know recently claimed in one of those infamous dining hall hip hop conversations that we are currently in the "Golden Age of hip hop." "There's so much variety," he said ever-so-dreamily, "so much experimentation, so many opportunities to get involved in the rapidly growing industry...." I just sat and smiled, waiting for the heated response I knew would come from one of my boys. You should have been there for the screams and shouts--and my peripheral laughter. But on the real, all jokes aside, my man dropped science...
