Parental Advisory: What moral crusaders got wrong about hip-hop & R&B

Me in 2005, trying to look like a girl from an LL Cool J video.

I’m a product of the 90s. Born in 1985, my childhood was American Girl Dolls, Power Rangers, and The Babysitters Club. My political views were shaped by the Contract With America, Desert Storm, and the Monica Lewinsky scandal. As the kids say, it was quite a time to be alive.
