“please tell me the difference from then and now How its like we still have no more worth than a cow Will the struggles and debaucles ever stop Will we ever stop being harrassed by a cop Just because of our skin and past history The reasons behind these things are still in my mind..a mystery I am a young black male who has no record & involved in the community Yet nobody sees that..so I'm left with no immunity In my mind,the world fears a strong black man with intelligence One who takes care of his responsibilities And isn't considered a negligence One who is focused and goal-orientated One who doesn't let others dictate..how he should live his life . . . .”

#Repost @whenisayspit with @repostapp. ・・・ Queen Latifah was certainly not the first female rapper, but she was the first one to become a bona fide star. She had more charisma than her predecessors, and her strong, intelligent, no-nonsense persona made her arguably the first MC who could properly be described as feminist. Her third album, Black Reign, was the first album by a female MC ever to go gold, a commercial breakthrough that paved the way for a talented crew of women rappers to make their own way onto the charts as the '90s progressed. Latifah herself soon branched out into other media, appearing in movies and sitcoms and even hosting her own talk show. Yet even with all the time she spent away from recording, she remained perhaps the most recognizable woman in hip-hop, with a level of respect that bordered on iconic status. #ladiesfirst #browngirlfromboston #whenisayspit #hiphopwekly #womeninhiphop #womeninhiphopmonth#internationalwomensday #queenlatifah #unity
