Poet Jasmine Mans took on a controversial artist in an amazing piece that spread through the internet and blog sites this week. The piece explored the career and actions of what MTV named one of the top 10 rappers of the decade Nicki Minaj. "Her "Barbie" image is an objectification of womanhood. How can we expect our male rappers to pay homage and respect to women when the voice that is representing us is tainted with sexual innuendos and “child’s play?” Jasmine stated. Jasmine has received a lot of love from this piece as well as hate, however I truly think the "hate" is a misunderstanding of what Jasmine is trying to convey. She isn't trying to put Nicki Minaj down nor is she diminishing the value of Nicki's talent. Jasmine is simply shedding light on someone who is held on a pedestal by urban society but should not by any means define what a women is or should be.
Jasmine Mans x Tyra Myricks piece coming soon, you thought we amazed the blogsites with our individual piece just wait for the collab. ART DEFINED.
