B_tch Bad! (Back to the forum)

They’ve been showing the video non stop on:

The video is amazing to the concept of Bitch Bad. I think this is definitely his best video and maybe second to Around My Way. The whole video can summarize the genius behind the song and help a viewer better understand the song.

Lupe Fiasco GOAT 2012 out this bitch word to your mother

For the people who missed it and want to see the video:

Video not available outside the US

I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see the video from any of the links seeing as how they all come from the same source.

Still, if I find another copy I’ll post it for you. Just keep scouring Youtube, I’m sure a view-able version will pop up.

Lupe makes other rappers look so bad and not only in terms of morals and intellect but the ‘rap skills’ as well.

He’s got the whole package when it comes to being a great rapper.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Why is it not available outside US?

lol the guy in the banner of one of the links looks like ASAP Rocky

This song has grown on me, and the video gives nice visuals to go with the lyrics.

I like the message of the song and I love Lupe but I was expecting a little more from the video. Kind of reminds me of the I’m Beaming video.

I can’t wait until I grow up to be a White cigar-puffing racist who showers money on Black actors like the guy in this video.

I have to say that the video was beyond words. I can’t imagine what would happen if this was our mainstream. There’s hidden meanings in the words and the images. Especially the connection to blackface and cooning

Twas a smart video, doe.

What’s funny is that now we have dudes calling themselves bitch like Lil B. He even has a group called the Bitch Mob.

I have to say, I really like the concept, and it was made nicely.

But I have a BIG problem with the video, I don’t see any difference between the “woman” and “bitch.” The woman was shaking her ass and there were dollar bills, I would and do connect it to a woman working in a strip club, a prostitute, or w/e, and those clothes… You would say she was a bitch too.

This takes away a lot from the message and the concept of the song:

The hook is:

Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, they misunderstood

This would mean that the “woman” or in my opinion “stripper,” “hooker,” w/e would be good, which is definitely not the case, because it’s the type of person whose work is being “a bitch” or “bad.” Meaning that the lady is bad. Contradicting with the first line in the hook.

Like, I do get the concept of the song and the video, and I like it, but the lady is just bad in my opinion. He should’ve done that part otherwise.

I really like that video, and I find it smart how he compares what you mostly see of black artists on BET to the whole “blackface” period that evolved from minstrel shows to movies.

Really nice video for a really nice song, can’t wait for the album drop. And bad bitvh in the video lol

Video was pretty great, and gave me a new respect for the song. I was always (since I heard the song the first time) approving of the message, but for some reason the actual song just wasn’t resonating with me. But that video helped it along, for sure. :)

I have a question though: Why does he say “I’m killing these bitches”? Is he saying he’s killing the term and rearranging our thoughts on what women should mean to us in the media?
