Even A Man Can Do This...DVD
Even A Man Can Do This Promo
My girl Civil Jones put together this dvd...showcasing female mc's in the B'more area. The documentary showcases their sacrafices (U gotta know it's harder for females to break into this venue)...and their thoughts on the issues facing black woman in the industry. You also get to see Civil put together her 2nd annual all female hip-hop show. These ladies can "spit"!!!
I loved the dvd. My only problem isn't with the girls and their goals. It's with the local powers that be, which to call a spade a spade, neglect local talent. The one prominent local station (92Q) is really capital based. And they only appease the people that spends that money...Major labels!!! You will hear Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, and any act from down south that's signed to a major label getting air time everyday all day...cause they're the ones that pay for the spins, plain and simple. But you won't hear shit from the local talent being played. Check it...Bossman is a hot mc, and he can't afford to please those deep pockets of 92Q either. And until somebody with money comes along to force change, or create another venue for these artist to showcase their talent...shit will remain how it is. Local talent, no matter how good, will either be forced to go elsewhere to gain recognition...or stay here and risk not blowing up!!!
A change must be forced Tash. Real Talk!!!
