...world where the music of social unrest is the grounds for American-style success stories? The only space that I see for women is one that makes room for subversion, because if women are going to argue for room at all, it needs to be new room. Let me restate: Honey, we gotta make a change. In fact, if we are to look at hip hop from a progressive-evolutionist stand point, we'd have to say that the boys can never go back to the way they were, go back to speaking because they didn't really have...
...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! Okay, the woman's place in the family is extremely important, and women emcees should speak to the world about this. The best way is to not even engage men in debate about whether or not the role...
...let me make something clear. Girl rappers should definitely party with dudes. I'm not advocating separation from men, because we can't live without them.

I say, in the meantime, let's all go to as many battles and open mics and, yes, shows, as possible, with as many people as possible, so as to have as dope a time as possible for as long as possible. Then the "Golden Age" of hip hop will be as it has been...
...take one of the most visible figures of the most twentieth century, let's follow Our Dumb Century's coverage of the career of Adolph Hitler. In 1937, "Kampfy the Uberhund," the adorable anti-Semitic mutt, is introduced by the propaganda minister to make Jew hating fun for German boys and girls. Later in 1937, the headline reads "German Jews Concerned about Hitler's 'Kill All Jews' Proposal." Samuel Eisenstein is quoted in the article as saying, "Most of Chancellor Hitler's speech I agreed with, except for the part where he said that the Jews are a parasite race...
