UNITY Queen Latifah

 This song carries a very powerful message.  A lot of the things mentioned in this song are about how disrespectful women are treated in society.  It's easy to hear the catchy 90's R&B beat behind it and not pay attention to the message of this song.  However, I do like how Queen Latifah is confronted when many women go through on the daily with the way men treat them.  She mentions in this song about men beating women and exploiting their bodies, which are two big problems women experience.  So because of this, I love the women standing up for themselves, it's so empowering.  I do think this is very controversial but whether you like it or not, it's the reality of the experience of being a woman.  You really don't truly understand this unless you are a woman.  I gladly listen to this song because I love 90's - 2000's R&B music so this song was very much something I would listen to outside of this class.  My favorite part of this song is when she calls out the things guys have done like yes sis tell em.  I seem to like songs that have a powerful message and a catchy beat.  A lot of people might not like this song because of its controversial nature but I love it.
