The Earth Mother

By Walasia Al-haliymu Shabazz

Who am I? Simply put, I am the Earth Mother. The Daughter of Flower Children, revolutionaries who wore their hair long and who smoked of the earth, and were oft arrested at marches and sit-ins. They weren't afraid of The Man, they weren't afraid of themselves. They loved Mother Earth. So they bore this Love Child, this Daughter of Nature. Me. That was 1974.

Fast forward. Tune in, turn on, and drop out. Now we’re in the 21st Century…it will soon be the year 2012. Who am I? I am a natural oddity. I cook, I clean, I sew, and I garden. I reap what I sow. I judge wisely. I share my knowledge with others in the form of words aloud and on paper. But despite all of my positivity and growth, I am most easily identified by my fear. Some people, it is said, can actually smell fear. I hide within my shell, for I am afraid. Afraid for what has been, more afraid for what is to come. But most of all, I am afraid to bear a child, because things, I'm afraid, are not what they used to be.

Hip Hop's Hang Ups

By Lakeisha Gardner

“Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted

We can do it real big, bigger than you ever done it.

I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it.”

-Drake

Every time that I hear this song by Drake, I love it all over again. What girl doesn’t like this song? It’s by Drake! He has the talent and the looks to match!

“She makes me beg for it until she gives it up

And I say the same thing ever single time…”

Say what? He’s cute, but he most definitely lost my respect with those last two lines, mostly because he wasn’t showing us female fans any. What’s that about?

Has The Era of Wack Ass Emcees and Wack Ass Beats Finally Come to a Close?

Written by DJ Gary B

Has the era of wack ass emcees and wack ass beats finally come to a close? It's gonna be a problem for all things wack if The Sniper Squad DJ's have anything to say about it.

The Sniper Squad DJ Coalition have come out with guns blazing to declare war on all wack emcees and producers who bring that unnecessary pain to the listeners ears with the filtered down version of what they call hip hop.

The coalition headed by Bonita “Adorable P” Payton recently had their “In The Scope” conference call with artists:

It's about to be on. We here at Femmixx are definitely gonna keep our eyes and ears open to find out what happens next with these artists and what they gonna bring to the table in this thing we call hip hop.

Once again femmixx.com is putting the call out for the female emcees and producers who are out there, where you at?

We wanna hear from you -- we wanna know what ya'll up to and what ya'll got in the works for this 2010.

The music industry has certainly changed since the last time we checked and it seems that if you gotta get a deal you gotta do it for yourself, as artists are not making the kind of money that they used to back in the day. The only way to really make some money is going the independent route and cutting out the middle man all together.

If you run your own independent label kudos to you and yeah we wanna hear from you as well -- don't worry we're not gonna ask you how much you’re making nor are we gonna put all your business out there, but we wanna hear how you’re holding it down in these times of uncertainty.

We're not gonna make this editorial long, but we are gonna say thanks to everyone who supported us as we’re on our way up and when others have come and gone we're still here carving out our little niche in this industry and being relevant to you the viewer within this ever changing landscape of the music industry.
