Bitch this word first came to exist only to be used in an
offensive manner to the female species. A word often looked at as degrading,
disrespectful, and offensive to the common woman. This word has been a very popular
term/slang that is uttered by almost ever rapper since the beginning stages of
hip hop but even though initially this term was created to generalize the evils
of all women throughout the years u see that the generalization of the word
bitch has died down to specification of a certain type of woman but it still
seems that there is a misconception from majority of the female society who
still draws to defend the equal rights of all women and attack the hip hop
society and its artist’s for the frequent use of the word bitch.
Whether it be a woman rights activist, popular female talk
show host or your regular girl in the neighbor since the beginning women have
made their voice heard on the disapproval of the word bitch being used a lot by
rappers in their records, from my view it seemed it was about three things: Why do they use this demeaning word to
describe women? Why do they use it so frequently? Do they not have respect for the female race?
So to clear up the misconception u have to look deep within the situation at
hand you see majority of rappers that use this demanding word grew up in high
poverty urban communities and was exposed to parents that didn't necessarily
censor their language around their children and then with the additional
exposure of their surroundings, media such as television and the internet u find that this word bitch wasn't instilled
in them as a bad word but a common term used on a daily basics but be that may
it still comes down to the music and the maturity level of the rapper that uses
the word bitch.
Because during this generation u have a majority of MC’s
that even though they use the word bitch a lot it is only used to state the
evils of specific type of female and is never meant to generalize all women.
Now u have a another majority of rappers who used the word bitch as a general
address to all females but is never uttered in an disrespectful or offensive
state. As I stated earlier its how they grew up their surroundings made that
term come off as common courtesy, but it’s these rappers that still light the
fuse to a woman’s rage and prolong the battle against the use of the word bitch
and continues the cycle of misconception but it still comes down to the music
and the logical and reasoning aspect behind it that I feel these females fail
to execute.
Because in my personal opinion, whether u agree or disagree u
have to understand that this world is full of evils and a small percentage of
the population were born pure heart and honest. So a female who lies, steals,
cheats, betrays, envy, has no respect or manners and is extremely bitter is
what u wouldn't consider a female or woman no a word was created for such evils
and that word is Bitch, now this is
not a one sided opinion because those same evils would not be used to determine
a man or male no a word was created for those kind of evils also and that word
is Nigga, but be that may this never
ending fight against the word bitch needs to cease and the women that prolong
it need to understand that even though u strongly believe that no woman is a
bitch in all honesty and reality that isn't so, Lupe Fiasco said it best and I
quote “bitch BAD, woman G.O.O.D, lady BETTER, they MISUNDERSTOOD”
so the next time u listening a popular hip hop record and u hear the word bitch
being used before u jump to assumptions really listen the song and ask
yourself, is he making a general statement in relation to all women or is he being specific to a certain type? But hey that’s just my
outlook on the situation.
