Nine and Ten-year-old girls’ open letter to Lil’ Wayne

I had to post this! This is one of the best things I’ve seen in a really long time. This video is from a little girl group who call themselves  “Watoto From The Nile”.  I have no idea what their name means. I got frustrated looking for the meaning. If you find out, let me know. This did to me what the Sesame Street version of Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair” did to me; really lifted my spirits. I’ve been growing more and more depressed with today’s music and its symbols; thinking that as the next generation comes up, it’s only going to get worse. It’s hard for me to imagine them being socially aware. This brought life back to me. Is there hope?  I’m proud of them for calling out one of the most influential people in the industry right now. Never mind the fact that he has a daughter about their age. While it’s true he’s not nearly the only rapper who says demeaning things about women, I think they’ve started asking the right one their questions. What do you think?
