Lil Mama Bringing Lip Gloss-Esteem to Women

It was two days ago that a cousin of mine asked me what I thought about Lil Mama. I told her I wasn’t on the Lil Mama train yet, should have added that I was a grown man who would look pretty in pink hopping around, yapping about his lip gloss.

Of course I joke, don’t have to be in line for Mac products to appreciate the Lil Mama sensation. While it might not be a country-wide phenomenon, Lil Mama is easily becoming the Voice of the Young People.

In today’s Village Voice, “The Makeup test”she speaks on the secret ingredient in her Lip Gloss.

‘Lip Gloss’ is not a regular bubblegum song, because it stands for something. It’s a self-esteem song for women..

“When you say, like, ‘The boys, they chase me after school,’ it’s telling a young girl that you don’t have to chase boys. I do what I do for myself, and things that I do for myself will bring boys to me. And when you continue to sing it and sing it, you believe it. It’s much bigger than just a simple bubblegum song.”

In an earlier MTV interview she added.. “Every day when I go to school, not only myself, but other girls, forget it, lip gloss in the morning. You don’t understand. If you go to high school ... you gonna see them [she starts making a hand motion like she’s applying lip gloss].”

“You’re gonna feel like it just brings everything together.”

Being the voice of the young people, you have to take a stand on the issues of the day.

Lil Wayne: “I feel like he’s very vulgar and disrespectful to women, and I don’t like that, but certain songs I can really relate to.”

Don Imus and the resulting Hip-Hop criticism:“Just because I rap and I sing and I do all these things, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that all these people are wrong.”

Things young girls can relate to - a first kiss?
“Do I really have to answer this question?”

No.

Her career has no choice but to skyrocket, it’s the Plan A. She left high school before recording “Lip Gloss.”

As the Voice it’s the one dry spot on her shine.

Passion is the explanation.

“I knew that this was something I wanted to do, and this is something that I went after really hard. It’s my career. It’s something that I love.”

So far she’s loving it well.. click back to “The Makeup Test for more.

Then check her Myspace page and witness as she completely wipes Jay-Z’s “Umbrella” verse out of your memory.

Lil Mama is a retard… She should go back and get her education… Maybe she should be chasing them books and hoping them colleges recruit her dumb ass… What kind of shit inspires a lil chick to get some lip gloss and think that it’s gonna make her self esteem sky rocket? Get real!

Why is it always the pretty ones that are dummies?

Face it… If she’s making a good record or degrading women or not. She still isn’t bringing self esteem by singing or rappin about lip gloss. I’m sorry. Maybe shes doing it for the lil teeny tiny chicks. But teenage and grown ass women? I think not… Just being real, face reality….

Who’s dumb as hell enough to post their address up on this shit. Nobody ain’t gonna come wayyyy over to where you stay to fight over some chick that ain’t doing anything for anybody but her damn self and her family… FACE REALITY!!!! HER MUSIC AS OF RIGHT NOW SUCKS… IM WAITING ON HER TO PUT OUT SOME REAL SHIT… And you’re right it don’t necessarily have to be about sex and booty shaking… It could be something inspirational or something about politics or something about teen pregnancy or AIDS or some shit… Lip Gloss just ain’t doing it for me… Like I said the lil teeny bopers might dig that shit but young adults aren’t motivated my putting some shiny shit on their lips… Thanx and have a nice day!
