It’s a Step in the Right Direction?

Posted on December 31, 2007

Okay… over the Christmas week holiday, I was exposed to “Independet” by Webbie (featuring Lil’ Boosie and Lil’ Phat).

When I asked what the song was, my cousins looked at me as though I had said the sky is polka-dot green and purple or something. My iPod in the car listening self is so out of touch with today’s hip new music (ha, *eye roll*) So, I blame them for this song getting stuck in my head…

The song and the lyrics are still in that same “great-club-beat-but-no-real-meaning” fashion, so I decided to search for the video. I’ll give it to Webbie (or whoever wrote the video treatment), the video is a step in the right direction.

And by that I mean, that Black women are portrayed in a more positive light and as having more worth than just a video chick.

And a female African American president? And she’s fly? Bonus points.

Also, now all the little kiddies can learn how to spell the word “independent”, yay!

There’s the video.
