[Video] Lupe Fiasco – “Bitch Bad” (Dir: Gil Green)
Lupe Fiasco recently dropped the latest set of visuals, this time for the conversation-sparking "Bitch Bad", leading up to the release of his album Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Part 1. The song has sparked some serious debate in the hip-hop community about the use of the word 'bitch', and Lupe elaborates on that below.

Although I'm probably going to knock on wood after saying this, I'm excited for Lupe's new album and the chance to put Lasers behind me. Fingers crossed. Check out the visuals to "Bitch Bad" below, and let us know what you think in the comments section."I just wanted to have a conversation.
