Music video: Lupe Fiasco released symbolic clip Bitch Bad
Lupe Fiasco has just dropped a powerfull and inspirational music video supporting his latest song "Bitch Bad". Released on Wednesday August 22nd on RapFix, the clip was filmed in a retro style and shows Lupe rapping on a theater stage while some models give performances to describe the meaning of the B-word and its bad affect in the African-American community. In the song, Fiasco lyrically contemplates the long-term psychological effects of the word "bitch," by weaving together a narrative of both a young boy and girl who are separately exposed to the degrading language.
Gil Green-directed clip also features a mother who at some point tells her young son that she's a "bad b****." There is also a young lady who earns money by seducing males, and another girl who wants her body to look more perfect by applying what seems to be cosmetic injection to her booty. A symbolic scene where a young man and a young woman sport blackface in a dressing room is also featured in the clip.
