an exclusive interview by Fab Correspondent, Kim Wilson
Fab Correspondent, Kim sitting down with Lil Mama backstage
18 year old, Lil’ Mama sat down with our Fab correspondent, Kim before the show in Baltimore to discuss her upcoming album, Voice of the Young People (due in stores 2008), her musical influences growing up in New York (Brooklyn & Harlem) and her desire to express female empowerment through her lyrics.
“My music is basically just giving my opinion on how I look at the way we [women] should move about in life. Period...whatever happened to it just being about you? Whatever happened to it being about being ambitious and being positive and going out getting your own money and not even worrying about a man? If you want a man later on, if you choose to have him that’s your choice. If there are women out there that agree with me, they are going to get into my music and feel me.”
Lil Mama’s aggressive feminine energy was obvious as she tore up the stage, shouting “Mac/Mac LoReal, YUP cause I’m worth it/…WHAT YOU KNOW BOUT ME?!”
Additional performances from the evening included Shop Boyz, Hurricane Chris, Grammy nominated Souljah Boy and the crowd favorite Chris Brown.
Unfortunately, Bow Wow was not on this tour date after being rushed to the hospital as a result of an appendix infection. Maybe we’ll catch him when the tour comes back to the DC area on the 22nd!
