Rapsody Pens Essay Calling Out Donald Trump for Misogynistic Comments

Donald Trump's disgusting comments about groping women, which went public thanks to a leaked video published by the Washington Post, have become a focal point in the current presidential race. Many have expressed their outrage over the remarks, and you can now add Rapsody to that list.

Rapsody penned an essay for Billboard in which she addressed the controversy. The North Carolina MC says she was not shocked by Trump's comments, but expressed her disbelief at the women that continue to support him.

"Women, look yourself in the mirror," she writes. "Parents, look at your daughters. Brothers, look at the woman you call your sister, your mother, or your grandmother. Tell them you are truly doing this for them. Give them the excuse of 'Oh, it’s just locker room guy talk' and in the words of some of his surrogates, 'it’s no worse than what those rappers say.'"

Rapsody also defended hip-hop, which has become a target for Donald Trump supporters following the video's leak.

"You love to attack hip-hop. That’s easy though. I get that," Rapsody writes. "The media paints hip-hop -- and most things dealing with black culture -- as the catalyst for all world problems. In reality, however, you hate hip-hop because it turns the mirror on America and shows her just how ugly she has been to many. Misogyny isn’t a hip-hop problem, it’s an American problem."

You can ready Rapsody's entire essay over at Billboard. The Roc Nation artist's piece is definitely worth your time, especially if you are thinking about not voting at all.
