For this edition of Monday Night Conversation, BlackTree TV CEO, Jamaal Finkley, sits down with the Queen, to find out whats all the buzz on her new movie, her new album, and her take on the state of Hip Hop 'Secret Life of Bees' brings issues of love, redemption and racism to the screen. By Jackie Burrell Contra Costa Times Article Launched: 10/13/2008 12:11:00 AM PDT In 2002, Sue Monk Kidd's debut novel "The Secret Life of Bees" buzzed up best-seller lists where it hummed and hovered for months. On Friday, the indie movie based on Kidd's story about a motherless child and a trio of honey-making sisters will finally make its way to the silver screen. But despite its book-club-favorite status and a star- studded cast — headed by Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson — the movie's path has been nearly as poignant and serendipitous as the book itself. Sitting in a plush lounge in San Francisco's Ritz- Carlton Hotel recently, director/screenwriter Gina Prince-Bythewood relaxed with her young star before the Mill Valley Film Festival opening. The novel, which sold 4.5 million copies, is on many schools' reading lists. Fanning, 14, calls it "a great book for people my age." She and her director talked about what it was like filming a story set against powerful civil rights-era themes just as Barack Obama was racking up his first big triumphs. Prince-Bythewood also addressed the motifs of motherlessness, abandonment and redemption that run through the characters' lives — and her own. "The Secret Lives of Bees" tells the story of a young girl, 14-year-old Lily Owens, who runs from an abusive father and the deeply held belief that she is, somehow, "unlovable." Prince-Bythewood, a Pacific Grove native, was on a journey of her own, seeking her birth mother and trying to understand why she had been given up as a child when her older brother had not. But when she was offered the project seven years ago, she hadn't read the book and turned the picture down. Two years ago she heard that another director had signed on, and suddenly she was consumed with "this overwhelming feeling of 'That's my movie!'" She read the novel that night. "The book just wrecked me," she says. "Oh my God, I gave up this opportunity. It's about motherhood, sisters, learning to love yourself. I said those same words — 'I'm unlovable' — when I found my birth mother." Then, almost miraculously, everything fell into place. The movie's director walked, and all that was left was the book and its star, Fanning, who was finally old enough to play the role. "In retrospect, it happened at the right time," she says. "You grow a lot in five, six years. Being adopted was part of my journey. To pour myself into this script (helped me) get over the last vestiges of that tough time." In a matter of weeks, Prince-Bythewood had her stars — all working for virtually no pay — and a steady stream of cast and crew showing up with dog-eared copies of the book.

A Tommy Boy Video I had to publish as a repatriated South African living in the USA. Queen Latifah featuring Monie Love. The ladies will kick it, the rhyme that is wicked Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted A woman can bear you, break you, take you Now it's time to rhyme, can you relate to A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream...... Although they have been featured in a number of newspaper articles, feminist rappers have not received sufficient critical attention. Three recent books on rap (Costello and Wallace; Spencer; and Toop) ignore female rappers, and as recently as March 1990, Terry Teachout could proclaim that, "not surprisingly, women in the world of rap are largely, if not exclusively, objects of transient sexual gratification" (60). Feminist rappers like Queen Latifah, Yo Yo, Ms. Melodie, Salt'n Pepa, M.C. Lyte, and Roxanne, among others, not only belie his pronouncement but deserve close attention because they are a group of African American women who are "allowed to speak their own words," a situation that Michele Wallace identifies as unusual in popular culture The one exception to the critical neglect of feminist rappers is the work of Tricia Rose who, in "Never Trust a Big Butt and a Smile," calls for "broadening the scope of investigations in our search for black women's voices" to include rap. Rose asserts that "women rappers are vocal and respected members of the Hip Hop community, and they have quite a handle on what they are doing" Queen Latifah's music video "Ladies First" (which Rose discusses briefly in her article and in her recent book Black Noise [163-66](1)) provides ample evidence to support Rose's claims. By examining "Ladies First" closely, this article explores issues raised by feminist rap; that is, rap that focuses on promoting women's importance, that demands equal treatment for women, and that demonstrates the need for women to support each other. While a feminist politics of entertainment is troubling and ambivalent, there are feminist entertainments such as "Ladies First" that present the viewer with moments of resistance to dominant exploitative images of women. In its serious exploration and glorification of African American women's history, "Ladies First" seizes a televisual moment and breaks the continuity of sexism and racism that dominates the music video flow. While "Ladies First" is neither ideologically pure nor completely consistent, there is a coherence to the images and lyrics that contrasts strikingly not only with music videos by male performers, but also with music videos like "Sisters Are Doin' It... We never got to see it. Now I know why, You RULE!
