Most of you know I love Broadway Musicals. Immensely. Indeed, Im writing one (claim it! claim it!). And I love Hip Hop, but mostly old school and that of the Conscious type, along with occasional ratchetness. I like this compilation here but my favorite is In Da Club and I actually wish they hadnt done the last one. Call me a snob but I take issue with white folks haphazardly celebrating songs that I find degrading to my person and my womanhood. And its partly because everybody knows none of these rappers would get away with talking about white women like this, so I consider it an unspoken alliance that says you get to sh*t on me, as a Black woman, and like Greg Tate shared with us a long time ago, you get to enjoy everything about Hip Hop BUT the burden. And for Black women, its a very, VERY heavy burden to behold. Maybe I messed up this clip but if youve seen Jean Grae and Mela Machinko sing, Its the Most F*cking Beautiful Time of the Year, you would see what a fun, Hip Hop musical looks like. Alright, let me stop ranting. I just wish we would embrace Black Theater more, better. But thats coming, family... its coming.
