Last week a heart felt poem that brought many, including myself, to
tears written by Jay-Z to his baby girl Blue Ivy hit the internet
stating that the rapper would no longer use the word Bitch. Well in a
recent interview that Jay-Z did, the rapper states that the poem and
the story are fake. With the release of this statement of course the
backlash has begun against Jay-Z. The use of the word bitch in rap has
been an ongoing debate for so many years. Many feel that it is
disrespectful to women and want all rappers to stop using the word.
Reading the comments that were put up under the story on
globalgrind.com were stupid and annoyed my life. Several people said
that because Jay will still use this word that he has no respect for
his mother, sisters, wife or child. Others feel he will not be a good
role model to his daughter. The comment that annoyed me the most was a
woman saying that when his daughter gets older and some guy calls her
a bitch he won’t be able to say anything because he didn’t stop saying
bitch when she was born. Smh, people and the stupid shit they say. My
argument in this topic has always been the same and that is that we
must all remember that not every woman in this world carries herself
in a respectable manner. And when rappers rap of bitches and hoes that
nine times out of ten those are the women they are rapping about. And
just because Jay-Z has and will continue to use the word bitch does
not mean that he cannot and will not be able to comfort his daughter
if a guy calls her out her name. As a woman that carries herself in a
respectable manner rappers using the word bitch has never offended me
and shouldn’t offend any woman who knows she is not a bitch.
