If a father could do one thing to make the world a better place for his newborn daughter, what do you think it would be. World peace? Safer streets? Financial security? In the case of rapper and business mogul, Jay-Z since security and finances aren’t pressing issues for him and his family, and world peace is out of his control ther is a small change he can make that would have far reaching impact — stop using the word “b—-.” Jay-Z is all to well aware of the influence his musics and his lyrics have on the actions and attitudes of youth here and over seas. Check out Jigga’s letter to Blue Ivy Carter, he and wife Beyonce’s brand new baby girl. Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich, I didn’t think hard about using the word B—-. I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it. I never realized while on the fast track that I’d give riddance to the word bitch, to leave her innocence in tact. No man will degrade her, or call her out her name the women won’t despise her and call her the same. I know it’s gonna miss me cuz we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees when we all used to hang out front singing 99 problems but a lady ain’t one. Excuse me miss, can I be your mister cuz I can tell the difference from a little girl and a sister, She never grew up, her father left her alone I promise not to talk like we used to until Kingdom Come. I’m so focused on your future, The degradation has passed I wish you wealth, health, and insight forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel. The artists who keep us captivated with their ability to spit rhymes and for those men — boyfriends, husbands, and fathers too — who listen intently to the words and mimic them in thought and deed, will have to be vigilante about protecting their children from the insults which might be leveled their way. They especially can’t add to the denigration of a generation and the degradation of girls and young women. Think about your favorite celebrity who is or may become a parent. How would you like their letter to read? What would your letter say? Thoughts? |

P.s. I guess now is better than neva.
Never understood why rappers degrade women.
"And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women"
So are you the son's mother? Were you there when he had sex with the child's mother. Ya'll people kill me believing everything you read like you were there, lol!
I pray that she don't cater to the devil.......begone satan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reality, I feel like if you are aware that your music and tour image is a role model to the youth all around the world, why does it take for you to have a daughter to stop using such inappropriate language. What about your wife, she should be upset that you didn't write her a letter stating you would stop referring to women as the "b" word. I just do not understand, does he not care about the young women or men that quotes his music, "I got 99 problems, but a b ain't one."
PROMOTE BANNING THE "B" WORD AS WELL AS THE "N" WORD ETC, IJS!
Y now? Y not before? He sure didn't consider other ppl daughter, wife, mother etc. thats just not right. And like everyone knows wat goes around comes around. Nuff said.
"A FEMALE"
Very proud Wife, Mother,Grandmother,Sister, Auntie, Friend but most of all a Servant of the most HIGH...
Nice Jay and Beyonce! But why in the Hell did you spend all of that money for a hospital room? Why didn't you have the kid at home? Yo money right?, but there are greater needs. Yes, I want you to feel guilty! I don't care...but why you acting like Beyonce was really pregnant? Please share with us the mother who really carried your baby! And stop the media circus with this is baby! I sure hope you do you other child this fine as you are doing this one.
Peace and blessings to y'all.
