To qualify Lady Sovereign's "contribution" to pop music as "hip-hop" is to highlight only the worst aspects of the genre. Public Warning promotes commercialism and submissive female stereotypes - American values to be sure. (Poorly choreographed and over-sexualized "dance" does not qualify as self-expression; it merely propagates the existing system of patriarchy giving girls an exceptional role model: to play the muse to a society that would expect little more of them.) Lady Sovereign's flow, contrary to the opinion of Ms. Goldmark, is childish and talentless - somewhat reminiscent of Vanilla Ice. As for her lyrics, they have the sophistication that only someone of President Bush's intellect could appreciate. Perhaps Ms. Goldmark should consider opining on subjects of which she is actually informed; clearly hip-hop is not one of them.
