It gave me \u201cLadies Night\u201d vibes but from an R&B perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Badu behind the layers, Teyana Taylor was up first, underhandedly establishing the mood. Stating rhymes like \u201cThe tone is what I set it\/If you want it to come and get it, don\u2019t forget it.\u201d H.E.R. followed, paying homage to her Filipino culture, and she paid recognition to Breonna Taylor. \u201cBlack queens with dreams\/Beautiful, exceptional,\u201d she proceeds to strike. \u201cSay you wanna be down, but still ain\u2019t arrest them, though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Badu served dual duty beyond the turntables, taking her angle at the mic. \u201cLook, I\u2019m about to go in,\u201d she raps in her takedown, armed with boxing gloves hanging from her neck. \u201cI\u2019m about to get inside these bitches heads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brandy swaddled it up with a whole verse. \u201cBlack females we gonna flourish in these conditions\/Born to front lines, not in your kitchen\/I\u2019m on a mission,\u201d she raps, ending with \u201cAnd if they say the sky is the limit, then buy a cloud\/And if they can\u2019t see us as an equal, they not allowed\u201d before she righteously donned a crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cypher was anything Groundbreaking, and all we can say is, \u201cAll Hail the Queens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
