Well It's that time of year where The 5by5 Podcast gets all Christmasy on ya. You all know Christmas is my most favorite time of the year. I love good Christmas music and the spirit of the holiday. So, we start this week doing Christmas themed shows. Merry Christmas!!
There is so much hype over this song. A song that I don't even think is a true single. Actually,I think it's funny. Why can't Beyonce use the bravado that her male counter parts use in their music. I actually think it is giving her just what she wants... EXPOSURE. And contrary to what everyone thinks. It's working. I guess I am a little biased because I love Beyonce and her music. Her last album "4" wasn't as commercially successful as the "Dangerously in Love", "B Day" or "I Am Sasha Fierce". But, in my biased opinion it was brilliant. I love it when Beyonce shows her boastful side. It's not like she hasn't done it before. How can anyone forget "Diva". Pretty much the same message wrapped in a funky r&b groove sans the word bitch.
It kills me how some females (Keyshia Cole) is taking this so literal. The word bitch used in today's world no longer refers to women, specifically. It refers to people who are lacking and whine about it. Do you remember one of the most popular phrases from The Dave Chappelle Show. "I'm Rich Bitch!!", exclaimed the truck driver who just came into a lot of money. Everyone thought that was funny, including females. Was he speaking to ladies all over the globe by calling them bitches? Absolutely not. It just shows how we can be so petty and judgmental of others when their words or thinking do not line up with how we think they should act or talk. Give it a rest. Beyonce is fine. I can't wait until this album hits the airwaves. But, only time will tell if we can get passed our hypocrisies and give her a chance.
