"If you don't know hip-hop, at least a little bit of it, you can't even call yourself an American." — KRS-One

Many of us were raised without a father, and the subject of deadbeat dads hits home in a lot of areas. Most of all, doing a song about being a father to your daughter flies straight in the face of the argument that says hip-hop is misogynistic.
