URBAN VIBEs DEC 2015 | Page 24

LETS TALK ABOUT IT! Although these were merely a few of the many comments and ideas on the subject I can assure you there were more than enough to fill a page of any magazine or blog page. As I set there in the real world conversing in a virtual forum the opinions and ideologies were far from just virtual randomness. Everyone seem to have certain vitality to themselves, and in respects to the Urban life, they had much to say about, well, just about everything. I could get technical (well, actually it would be anal) and say we never answered the question at all but to say that would just be for the entertainment value of not getting a “direct finite answer”. I would venture to say we not only answered the question we found ourselves having to ask ourselves a related question: When it comes to the term “Bad Bitch” how much of a part do we as individuals and as a whole play in the perpetuation of the stigma? Are woman calling themselves “Bad Bitches” because certain factions of life have created what seems to be a demand for “Bad Bitches?” Do the videos spawn “Bad Bitches”, how about the wealthy artist that makes songs that literally say “I’m looking for a Bad Bitch?” Even further, what about the young ladies that make songs (obviously a direct result of the males action in song) reacting in what she may consider to be “a voice of strength” screaming, “I’m the Baddest Bitch.” We can all pretend as if celebrity and entertainment in general does not have a direct effect on 100% of life, that’s fine, it still doesn’t nullify the fact. Rappers have a bigger influence on your kids then you do (with few exceptions). Rappers make politicians buckle with watering eyes under the realities of knowing he could never move the masses that a radial musician could move. Your greatest president in history will never have as much influence as the world’s most famous rapper or musician in general (If he/she decides to use the power for good). In other words when the rich young famous “handsome” swagged out rapper screams he is looking for the for mentioned, then you can guarantee that poor window shopping gorgeous young lady with dreams of dating a “baller” and industry aspirations will always answer on all fours (literally.) The “Baddest Bitch” is the figment of the lyrical imagination that found a life with a feminist generation of woman that called themselves evening out the spectrum of equality in the face of men males that were enthusiastic to be titled “Dog ass Niggas,” i.e. the so called “Thug”. She is simply tangible object manifested by the lyrical demand .Dosh 24
