13353933, I didn't mean to imply that she stripped

I meant to imply that her initial introduction to the mainstream, commercial rap world is through a series of songs where she has on stripper outfits, in full makeup, rapping about having sex with rich men and being in a man's wallet and finessing men...all things that strippers are wont to do.

Commercial rap is a constant set of comparisons. The entire industry of commercial hiphop is an exercise in creating a recognizable brand that fits within a certain genre, making the introduction of ones brand identity into the commercial formula that much easier to attract the casual listeners attention. Rapsody is not at commercial level yet.

Commercial rappers never sold dope, never murdered anybody, never met Manuel Noriega, never had threesomes, never held more than a few thousand dollars in their hands. They actually went to college, got married, don't call each other nigga in every other sentence and live nice respectable lives. The PUBLIC PERSONA, their brand, is totally different.

America has imported more warlord theocracy from Afghanistan than it has exported democracy.
