...because, well, they do. Rah Digga - whom I heart to def - performed at this year's Vans Warped Tour and was seen sporting a #Lyricsmatter t-shirt. Sidebar: is The Ordinary Girl the only person who finds this whole hashstagging in real life mess lame? Back to Harriet Thugman. She breaks down why she thinks lyrics matter and also spits for some rhythmically challenged folks. Go, Digga!

Yo! So you know my internet situation at work is madd janky, right? When I do find the time to visit a blog or two, I have to do it real quick before the IT folks shut shit down.
Understanding this, the other day Dude walked into the house trying hard to suppress a grin. Eventually he tells me he's got a little something for The Ordinary Girl. He whips out (get our mind out the gutter) the fratmac and starts to play the subject of this post. I lost my mind!
Lady Luck
Literally, screaming like I was seeing Prince live. You see, rappers who happen to be women are really close to my heart. And lately, I've been revisiting the idea of actually stopping this getting in my own way stuff so I can try this radio thing out. Needless to say, although I'm about to say it anyway, I was really impressed with DJ Dee Vazquez. How she was quick to ask what is on most people's minds (the dreaded L. Boogie question) and more. But especially how she did it with such confidence. I am in love.
Karen Civil
This is the latest in a series of roundtables Dee likes to spark and it features Rah Digga on the phone as well as Lady Luck, Karen Civil (those three names already tell you how insanely hooked I was), Nina B and B. Dot in studio. itstheBino was there to capture it all. Wish it was us but hey, here's part one. Enjoy.
"I know we all miss Lauryn, but somebody's gotta do it." No truer words were ever spoken. And who better to do it than Dirty Harriet herself? Rah Digga has been MIA for like 10 years. Can you imagine how much garbage we've had to listen to in that decade of her absence? Oh, that's right, you already know.
Anywhooo... the former first lady of Flipmode Squad recently brought out a cut from her new album, Classics, and served it to the net. The joint is called Warning Shots (listen below) and is straight up dope. Everybody is in the firing line, but in a great way. Not in that Barbie Bashing way. Rah-digga-warning-shots by theblagg
Digga also spoke to XXL Magazine online about her upcoming album. All raps are by Rah Digga and all beats are by Nottz (who also did some work on Digga's solo debut). Peep the video here:
