Personally I feel that the <BR>>term has just become generic and <BR>>acceptable to the masses of hip <BR>>hop heads and artists that have <BR>>been bombarded by it for so <BR>>many years. Kind of sad really. <BR>>Thought is a respectable cat, though. <BR>>Hopefully you disagreeing with him will <BR>>have him thinking next time he <BR>>goes out and says shit that <BR>>is irresponsible (no, I don't believe <BR>>that artists are responsible for their <BR>>fans at all BUT a person, <BR>>artist or not, needs to learn <BR>>who their friends and enemies are <BR>>and take care of their "friends", <BR>>feel me?) towards those fans that <BR>>see him as more intelligent than <BR>>that. <P>In many circles, "bitch" is used with the same amount of comfort as "nigga". I know I do it. I speak on "bitches" when I'm speaking to a group of female friends; they aren't bothered by it. By the same token, I have female friends who say, "Why she gotta be a bitch, though!" It all depends on who you're talking to.<P>To be so bothered by the use of "bitch" is a little absurd to me. He was sharing his thoughts, and speaking freely. Let's not overlook Black Thought's past lyrics that big the ladies up! Now he says bitch in an interview and he's irresponsible?<P>I don't think he was irresponsible at all. If that's the case you all should have posted a long time ago about Thought's use of "nigga" in his verses. Don't take it so personally. Always take a look at self first.
