More Rece Steele, Miss Rap Supreme Winner

So I can say, I am loving some Rece Steele, and hopefully she will clean up some of the language, because some of the best rappers back then did not need all of the profanity, but outside of that I am a fan. Can't say I will be bopping to her music 24/7, but it is just a good time to have fresh, new female talent in the area of rap. LOL...one never lost for words, you know she has a lot to say...lol. She looks great and it's nice to see the upgrade from the yellow hair.

She did an interview with VH1 and for any one interested the link is provided after the jump. Here is a taste of what she had to say:

VH1: You talked about putting women back on the map. Going into the show, did you have a sense of how hard it is to be a woman in hip-hop in ’08? Is that something you even thought about?

RS: Definitely. A year before the show, I had promoted myself, being my own manager and publicist, and I was up against a world full of sexist men who don’t want to hear what you have to say. I’m a strong woman and I feel like I can handle being a hip-hop artist. And I’m not just talking about spitting bars and looking cute on stage, but showing women that we can do this on our own. There are so many teams that have a first lady, but why can’t the first lady head a team on her own? Jay-Z did it. He’s from the hood. The only difference is he has a penis.

VH1: Do you have any theories as to why hip-hop is so disproportionately male-dominated?

RS: Not to take anything away from the pioneers – MC Lyte, Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa – or even the ones that came after, like Eve, Kim and Foxy Brown, but some of them had writers. I feel like women are always looking for the hand-outs and the help. We don’t go and try to get it ourselves. When I started going to get things myself, it’s when things started working for me. I think we need to stand up and say, “Hey. I’m an independent artist and I’m trying to do it.” And come original. You can’t be the next Lil’ Kim. You have to be who you are and work with that.
