Against my better judgment, I can’t get this song out of my head.

I love how in the video the warmongering president gets impeached and the first African American female president is elected in his place. It’s nice to hear a rap song without the usual misogynistic overtones…..unlike the following two songs that I also, against my better judgment, I cannot get out of my head. These are the sorts of songs that if they come on the radio in my car, I’ll be the crazy dancing lady next to you at the the stoplight.

check out the Talib Kweli version of “Independent”
the fact that it’s not Webbie makes me feel much better about listening to it lol

hmm, interesting; I assume his was the original version. I didn’t know this was a cover of that. It has the exact same music track.
Still, I think I like the ladies’ version better despite the fact that it’s by webbie
