Jigga who?
"Let the church say Amen, and Isis too: Black women are the past, present, and future of Black popular music, more about the business of becoming self-defined idiosyncratic artists and less about becoming industry-approved products by any means necessary. Since a Black man can now be branded, sold, and resold on minimal skill sets and swagger alone, we likely won't see another bruh dig as deep as Marvin, Miles, Jimi, or Stevie in our lifetime...the sisters represent a more diverse spectrum of observable talent than we now have among the African-American men: from Lil' Kim to Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé to MeShell Ndegeocello, Jaguar to Janelle Monáe, Jill Scott to Cassandra Wilson, Keyshia Cole to Marsha Ambrosius, Imani Uzuri to Tamar-kali, Erykah Badu to Alice Smith, Ciara to Alicia Keys..."
Hmmm. Telling it like it is or speaking in hyperbole?
