********Danyel Smith..thought she had more integrity!

In December of 2007 Smith did an interview with Pink News.

They featured her as one "Hip Editor." Asking her questions about her love for rap music through the good and the bad.

In one section she talks about women and their place in the rapper world...

PINK: Why are there so few women rappers?
D.S.: You have to be so tough and so strong to make it in this biz. It's just way more difficult to be a female rapper than a male rapper. Women are often pressured to change their style and lyrics and to wear more revealing clothes. I've seen so many women broken down by this business. They expect to be treated decently and be appreciated for who they are, to be able to say the things they feel. Only rarely [like with Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah and Salt-N-Pepa] does that happen. I'm dreaming of the next female great. I want her so bad I can touch her. I think men want that too – a smart, strong, confident, talented woman who is powerful. But where is she?

Wow....
"They expect to be treated decently and be appreciated for who they are"

"Women are often pressured to change their style and lyrics and to wear more revealing clothes."

Funny you say that Smith......maybe you should try taking a step and clothing the women in your magazine and making them appear for how they truly are, instead of all this airbrushing shit!
