she talking about "baby mommas" and says it's a "badge of honor." We all know baby momma = unwed mother. I think it's rediculous to call such a situation, in and of itself, a badge of honor.

I agree with you here. To make the best of a bad situation is honorable, and a there are a lot of our women living this way. I only disagree with that one part of the song.

>there's nothing wrong with that. its not like someone will
>here the song and be like "wow.. this single mother thing
>sounds great!! i'ma try it out for a year"

I disagree. Some young girls already want babies because thier friends have one, you see them on the talk shows all the time.

The problem with this song is not that it's encourging women, that part is fine. It's that the song acts like the situation is ok, like there's nothing wrong with it.
