Plenty of people are gonna give Judd the #gtfoh #sideeye #twisted lip response to her apology. However, there is truth in both her original statement and what she said in her apology. Could she have said it a little less abraisively? Yes. Would her message have resonated as well had she sugared it up? Probably not. Look, there are traditional MCs that rap with more conscience lyrics and then you have those who love to rap about what they have, who dont got what, what “bitches” they’re bussing down and not to mention bussing their guns. I think the real difference between those “ignant” rappers and the concious rappers is exposure to more respectable women. WHO KNOWS!!! Make your way to the jump to get the full word for word scoop on what Ms. Judd said. I think she held her own. What do you think?
“My intention was to support artists to know that they have so much power,” Ashley told GlobalGrind.com. “That they make incredible life changing impressions, particularly on the young. And we have choices everyday with our expressions, we either empower and celebrate unity or to re-enforce inequality and degradation. We are either part of the problem, or part of the solution. There is no in-between…my intention was to take a stand to say the elements that are misogynistic and treat girls and women in a hyper-sexualized way are inappropriate…that community is incredibly important to me and to the cause of social justice…it is filled with bad ass and brave activists whom I admire, who work under duress fighting epic discrimination.”
