More On Dymes

"Got Misogyny" on Lazarus' site Street Dreams takes what seems like a "fact vs. fiction" approach to Essence's Take Back the Music campaign. While there are some good points raised, I cannot, as Canadian, solely rely on American statistics to address the issue of misogyny and hip hop. And since Canadian statistics don't survey race, I'm left with nothing to rely on but my hunches. However, Got Misogyny has ruffled the feathers of a few people who have commented on the article. It's interesting to read about those who scowl the music, but listen to an artist because he makes good music. Ummm... yeah... it's so ridiculous that I can't even think of a clever remark. Talk about setting the "movement" back.

Thanks to Pro Hip Hop and everyone else for their comments on the article, and links on your blogs.

Peace
