How could I have possibly have forgotten my lunch today? There’s my lunch bag. Right beside my water bottles (I never leave the house without one of them.) Yet this morning, I somehow managed to open the fridge and grab three of my water bottles and leave my lunch behind. I didn’t notice until I…

Femininity in Hip-Hop is Here!
This video is really cool. I love how Mala Reignz breaks a lot of the stereotypes of female emcees. She is feminine in this video without having to be seductively dressed or suggestive. That is quite refreshing to see. Many female rappers are presented in such a way as to be merely eye candy for…
