I’ve kicked it with y’all before about Saartjie Baartman aka Hottentot Venus. We seem to revisit her story in popular culture every few years. This year, the Hottentot Venus award goes to Vanity the 8th Wonder. That is her stage name. Her reported government name is Kenyatta and you can only imagine how many Black girls trying to break into, er, modeling, already have that name.
I salute Vanity and her Jessica Rabbit backside. You know that joint has got to be stanky. In honor of her glorious stanknasty boonkey I thought we could listen to one of my fave joints off Mos Def’s ‘The New Danger’. This should be played in every gentlemen’s club.
