Search Results: the female body image

I was thinking the other day about how modern rap has lost its identity because most artists today sound exactly the same. Whether it is female rappers like GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, and Cardi B, or the mainstream male rappers, everyone is using the same repetitive beats and formulas. The content feels so shallow now, mostly focusing on money, jewelry, body parts, and sexual themes, which leaves these newer artists with zero longevity.

I really miss the old-school era where artists were true lyricists and ultimate entertainers. In the 90s and early 2000s, you had heavy hitters like Nas, Tupac, and DMX alongside incredible women like Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, little Kim, and Lady of Rage. They brought high energy, exciting penmanship, clever wordplay, and deep lyricism. Beyond having that hardcore edge, they were multidimensional, highly talented, and had a powerful image. Most importantly, old-school artists had undeniable stage presence and actually knew how to perform and command a crowd live. Every single artist back then had a completely different sound, unique style, and distinct look.

That raw individuality and performance standard are exactly what is missing across the entire industry today. Just look at Queen Latifah hosting the American Music Awards last night—that is the exact level of legend status and ultimate crossover success I want to develop them to achieve.

Do you think that 90s style of music, star power, and performance could actually dominate the charts if it came back right now, or has the music industry changed too much for listeners to appreciate real talent?

Was it misogynistic of Jesus Christ to have only male disciples but no female disciples?

1 Corinthians 11:3: But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of every woman is the man
1 Corinthians 11:7 - 9: For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
1 Corinthians 14:34–35: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Ephesians 5:22–25: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.
1 Timothy 2:9–15: In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived (actually he was, by the woman, which is even more ironic to me), but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
