Girl Power!

The genre of girl groups has a place very near and dear in my heart that began at a very early age with TLC and peaking with the Spice Girls. I especially loved the feisty-er girl groups like Salt and Pepper. When I think about the evolution of girl groups from the Supremes to Sister Sledge to the Dixie Chicks. I find that society and women have evolved immensely in the past decade, especially for my generation. We women, are now much more boisterous, sassy, confident (bordering on cocky) and crude then in the past and this can be reflected in the music of our times. And what would one expect with Madonna and Samantha from Sex and the City at the forefront of changing the way men and women relate sexually?

Okay, okay... I know what you're thinking. Why should you give a fuck? Well, because last week by cousin Bella turned me onto this new adorable girl group called Electrik Red and the best song on their album titled "We Fuck You". Yes that’s right. "We Fuck You". The title alone does not really give you a chance to understand the premise of the song so, here are some lyrics to inspire your imagination.

“I heard you like to put it on the street
And how I'm an undercover freak
You was like flash in the sheets
So fast I had to finish when u leave
Like a kid with a cake you can really eat it (uh)
Like a stray dog happy every time I feed him

I wonder if you know the truth, (know the truth)
Y'all don't fuck us, nigga we fuck you” -Electrik Red

Wow. Talk about Girl Power… We've come a long way from "If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends". The lyrics are out of control and yet, I LOVE it. I got that shit on repeat on my ipod.

I put that song on a mix with this new joint “Took the Night” by Chelly which sounds fantastically drag-a-licious. Lemme hit you with some of those lyrics…

“Hate hate hate hate hate
I don’t care what bitches say
I don’t even look their way
Look their way look their way

Every time I walk in the club
They hating on me cuz they know I look good
My hair done right and my dress real tight
All eyes on me I took the night.”

Now put these songs together and what do you get? Girl Power 2009 which is based on what I call “Bitch Appeal”. And you know exactly what I mean. All of us single, nice, girls out there can name at least five cute, sweet, great catch boyfriends who are dating she-devils bitch whores. Why? Because men LOVE bitches. (for further proof please buy Why Men Love Bitches at amazon.com) It’s a damn near science, ya’ll. Not buying it??? Then you tell me how Posh Spice with her tight lipped, botoxed, frown got David Beckham and spunky lil Scary Spice got Eddy Murphy… as a baby daddy. Bitch please! Case closed.

Let me clarify: I am NOT telling you to that you should be a bitch to get a man. I am simply saying that it may help if you pick up some bitchy tendencies. So, next time you’re steppin’ out with the girls to pick up some sailors for fleet week, turn up your bitch mix in the car & get your mind right.
