Queen Latifah Quotes About Hip Hop

• The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, 'poppin' bottles' and how many girls they can 'tap,' it distorts what kids are learning. I think if there was more of a female presence in hip hop we could break up the monotony. It's all about balance.

• Dos discos me llevaron a la cima del hip-hop. Uno era Planet Rock y el otro no tenía letra: se llamaba Numbers, de un grupo llamado Kraftwerk. Todos los chavales del barrio de New York y Nueva Jersey hacían pop, lock y break con ese disco. Era la canción de moda en la calle en aquella época.
