Sometimes, the first lesson learnt by an artist is the most important. In 1991, young Robert Diggs, calling himself Prince Rakeem, released a commercial-sounding rap single called "Ohh, I Love You Rakeem." On it he spit some typical boasts over a chorus of giggling fly girls. The single caught a brick, and Diggs never made a typical-sounding record again.
The two ways I write about women reflect the two attitudes you can find in a woman.
