Aand if you'll look to your screen you will see one of the major fall points for black women & women in general in amerikA. Webbie pretty much phucked all of u up wit this1. lbs
I was writing a paper right. And i forgot how to spell independent for a quick sec and I caught myself singing this song to help me remember. I'm giving credit to where credit is due.
Rockstarr303 that's all you need to. if you gotta a good beat, people won't care what the song is about. Cause all them middle schoolers I went with jammed the shit out of that song lol.
Unfortunately most rappers and record labels figured this out and have thrown out the positive lyrics like in this song and will put anything on a hot beat smh lol
Webbie got one of the best word play I heard before the way his verse flowed from one word to the next from one subject to the next was fire and I didn’t realize it until today
This song is about an independent woman. She takes care if herself; pays her own bills; buys her own cars. He admires the qualities of her independence.
It's a good thing when a girl is like that! Nobody wants a gold digger 😂 there's this song about independent girls, and Ne-Yo has "Miss Independent." And then from the other perspective, Kanye West has "Gold Digger," and Cee Lo Green has "Forget You." Everyone prefers the independent girls 😊
@@StevenRogers268 If a man wants a woman to be completely dependent on him it says a lot about him. I'm glad somebody hasn't bought into the manosphere red pill nonsense.
I wish I was shown this song as a kid. I grew up in a white upper-middle class household and I looked down on rap due to my upbringing and surroundings. I have since discovered a shit ton of rap and hip hop that I love. I wish I was able to appreciate it at a younger age.
When this came out I was like, "Yeeeeah I'm Independent..I don't need a boy's money, I got my own allowance..I babysit my own neighbor's kids...Ayyyeeeeee!" lmaooo
the only bad thing about this... i see black females filling up colleges and black men sitting at home living off the woman. i thank God he gave me the real man I have from 16yrs old and still to this day at 38. when i can't work he works and pays it all, even with our 4 children. we invest our time in our family. i hate seeing women used by men. i know not all men do it, so please no hate, but our generation is headed that way. sad thing.
I'm glad you've found something that works for your family. One income won't cut it in every case. Inflation has outpaced wages. This isn't our grandparent's era. I'll agree that there's excuse for a man to sit on the couch doing nothing.
God has provided for me and His people because this has been my dream since I was in my 20's. Again, I didnt know my family was squashing me on purpose, but now I do. We pray. We act. We get it done.
I dont ever want a man to say I smell like onion rings, say I got dusty feet, or call me a broke broad. Play this song ever so often to remind yourself of why you work so hard.
Man want independent women so they could use their resources and don't bring anything to the table. They want to runaway from their role of being an alpha male.
I don't remember exactly when this joint came out 20 years ago almost but it still could get radio play. Sensible rap worthy of its recognition. Good job fellas
Not exactly 20 yrs yet. I think like 18 yrs ago. It came out when I was in 8th grade . That was around the 2007-2008 school years. My niece is only 16 and was born in 06 .
In my 30s and teaching my math students that the x-value is the “I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T” variable. They had no idea what hit them 😂 I didn’t even mean to - the song just came from my soul.
I remember hearing this song when I was a hell of a lot younger and I watched the mv. This song is the graduation ceremony motivation song because it can at least help me for high school.
I remember when this was hot. 🔥 It was a sweet pocket in rap with a lot of anthems. Webbie was doing his thang. Lil Phat was here. I still remember specifically the women I was hanging with that liked the song. It was a good time.
When this song would come on in the club, I saluted my recruiter. He's a hero. He helped these rappers and myself. God Bless America. Land of the free, home of the brave. Have a good day all of you. 😘👌💖☘️🌻🌼😎🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

Overnight celebrity next
I guess this song proves that rap doesnt always objectify women.
Jeremy Seal well this is actually made way back 8 years ago so it hasn't reached the expectations of 2016 limits
Jeremy Seal indeed
Jeremy Seal Amen
Ture
Sexualizing and objectification aren't necessarily the same thing.
The only rap song that has a ratchet type of sound to it but inspiring at the same time
+Rockstarr303 lolol
true story

Legends grew up listening to this banger
I wouldn't go that far. It's only 14 years old. You need to go back a good 30 years to get to some real hip hop legends.
And this kids is how we learned to spell independent 😂
+kiki J But do you know what dat mean?

Refused to believe that Lil Phat was 15 when they made this lol, R.I.P.
The year is 2020 and let’s keep this shit going!! 🔥🔥🔥.

Lol rap is garbage black bullshit
@@ToyotaNutjob That you're obviously looking up and enjoying you retarded little shit 🤣
When this came out I was like, "Yeeeeah I'm Independent..I don't need a boy's money, I got my own allowance..I babysit my own neighbor's kids...Ayyyeeeeee!" lmaooo
Hahaa
This is funny.
Kerra Johnson Lmao @ you. okkkk!
Yeshhh gurl
Its 4 yrs later now...You prolly got a few babies by pookie and dem. On welfare prolly too and tryna go back to school to be a CNA. ...am i right??
the only bad thing about this... i see black females filling up colleges and black men sitting at home living off the woman. i thank God he gave me the real man I have from 16yrs old and still to this day at 38. when i can't work he works and pays it all, even with our 4 children. we invest our time in our family. i hate seeing women used by men. i know not all men do it, so please no hate, but our generation is headed that way. sad thing.
I'm glad you've found something that works for your family. One income won't cut it in every case. Inflation has outpaced wages. This isn't our grandparent's era. I'll agree that there's excuse for a man to sit on the couch doing nothing.
15yrs and still a bop ❤
God has provided for me and His people because this has been my dream since I was in my 20's. Again, I didnt know my family was squashing me on purpose, but now I do. We pray. We act. We get it done.
How did we not know? Too focused being positive and working until the Lord. Family can't understand.
I'm flattered that this song was dedicated in my honor....Thanks!
I dont ever want a man to say I smell like onion rings, say I got dusty feet, or call me a broke broad. Play this song ever so often to remind yourself of why you work so hard.
Or dont give a Darn about what a man say. They dont define us. God does.
@@tonyamoss3971 IDT that's what she meant. It's not so much caring what they say. It's more about not being that way.
Man want independent women so they could use their resources and don't bring anything to the table. They want to runaway from their role of being an alpha male.
@@maniwatson5503 aint our role no mo, its each their own. If a lady wanna be the bread winner, I dont mind. I'll do the other jobs
