Laila’s Wisdom Further Proves That A Divide in Lyrical Ability Between the Sexes Never Existed
How refreshing is it when someone finally realizes to be true something you’ve already known?
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being proud that Rapsody is a woman. It’s even okay to say she won one for the team, as long as you know that she proves that the theory of the divide is bullshit.
Women have consistently struggled to find their place in Hip-Hop for some time now, but not due to lack of bars. The blame lies solely on society’s unbelievably fraudulent perception of our abilities to contribute to defining the culture we love so much. Our depth has been removed and replaced by superficial logic. Not all women rate rappers based on how fine they are. We appreciate lyrical content & vibes just like anyone else, and if ever there were a day to embed that fact, it has arrived.
Laila’s Wisdom is a pure and natural display of her game, set, match standing. The project displays an incredible awareness of reality, along with an ability to coincide beauty & grizzly conditions. Her intent and clarity of content leaves nothing to chance, but rather provides a direct understanding of what should, yet fails to be considered paramount in this life.
Her production takes on a modern fusion of soul and hip-hop that reaches full circle to deliver a stunningly euphonious air. Bass can be heard throughout the album, providing an edge to this genius artist’s rendering.
Simply put, the musical marriage between lyricist and producer has been exceptionally mastered in Laila’s Wisdom, and easily ranks one of the best albums of the year; not because she’s a woman and performed surprisingly well but, because she’s a creator who constructed a masterpiece.
Although female MC’s continue to be labeled cute and placed in a specified cubby, it’s clear that we are more than capable of taking the culture to new heights and battling monsters along the way. Rapsody does it every chance she gets and it’s inspiring for the future of hip-hop as a whole.
