Mur Lafferty’s letter to her daughter has us crying and pumping our fists like girls
Oh man, how terrible is it that at some point, caring, progressive, feminist parents have to tell their daughters that life isn’t fair and people can be real assholes?
Earlier this week, podcaster Mur Lafferty wrote a letter to her daughter on her blog, trying to explain that people use girl as a insult (throw like a girl, cry like a girl) and seem to hate on girls who don’t know their place (just acting pretty, not worrying their little heads about anything), and that there’s no sense arguing with people like that.
Meet Watoto from the Nile, your new favourite rap group
VS
We don’t even know where to begin extolling the merits of Watoto from the Nile. Sisters, the oldest being 10, making a rap video? Someone making a song to call out Lil Wayne for all his bitches and hoes and misogynistic BS? Young girls making a rap video telling Lil Wayne they “hate when he be doing that”? Amazing.
Watoto from the Nile is three sisters: 10-year-old Nia, 9-year-old Nya and 5-year-old Kamaria. They took Lil Wayne’s “I’m Single” (Sample lyrics: Yeah now she hearing with them other bitches, Yeah, I told her mind her fucking business) and wrote their own song over top of his beat, calling it “Letter to Lil Wayne”
