Das sexist

Lil' Durk's best song of 2013 is a barefaced Meek Mill pastiche, Chief Keef isn't even the new Arab let alone the second coming of Soulja Boy, and Lil' Reese is already finished and forgotten; Wasn't joking when I told y'all Katie Got Bandz was the most talented figure to emerge from Chicago's Drill scene in 2011, thus it should come as no surprise that she's the only artist from that movement whose music still has any spark and/or regional nuance in 2013.

"These bitches fake like Nicki ass
This is not a dis, guns big like Nicki ass"

Katie Got Bandz - Foolish
(From Drillary Clinton mixtape; 2013)


Which makes it all the more appalling that Brendan Soderberg brazenly snubbed Katie in the chick-Rappers 2 watch 4! epilogue of his recent hilarious Is 'Yeezus' the Tipping Point for Rap Misogyny? article. Katie not being mentioned in the piece wasn't a shock because Brendan is renowned for using his professional work to exact revenge on Rap bloggaz who've pwned him in the past at the expense of artists who might have some sort of loose connection to said Rap bloggaz, but to completely ignore a feminist-icon like Katie Got Bandz just because she's my boo and/or David Drake's IRL buddy is very bad form for a writer who prides himself as being the Rap Blog Game That Toadying Dude Who Constantly Posts The ‘Women Should Be Hips & Tits Not Skin & Bone’ JPG On Your Facebook Feed to comically overeager extremes of male guilt :


(As you'd expect, a 10 second Google search brings up countless links to the tagless version of U.O.E.N.O but, look ladies, Duckie here insists on dramatically letting you know that, even he helped brush sexual assualt allegations about Das Racist under the rug, he'd never pay for an MP3 of a song with lyrics about date-rape!)

Here at The Martorialist we have our own theory about Katie's no-show in the piece : it simply boils down to Brendan's mildly-racist tendencies extending to AZN Rappers as well as blk ppl like Mystikal. Soderberg is, after all, a guy who once described Jackie Chain as looking "nebulously ethnic"; to avoid confusing Brendan in future. perhaps Jackie could announce his arrival on songs with the sound of a gong and develop a trademark "no more yanky my wanky, the Donger need food!" ad lib?
