Anyone ever read Joan Morgan’s “From Fly-Girls to Bitches and Ho’s”. Well, it talks about the ethnic sterotype of Black women portray in hip-hop and rap, and the search for a Black identity.

Well, I’m looking for some rap song lyrics online, that talks about the issue relating to that, for a short analysis assignment I have to do.

Any rap song suggestions? (It can be underground or mainstream).

You might get more responses if you email a mod and have them move this to the cafe. That’s where entertainment is discussed. **Do not post it again.**
