I think she's really neat.

She almost ruined Buck Whylin'. Almost.

The album cover of her first record, which is basically her with a look of awkward fright, anger, and rage holding a dead black child in her arms is up there with the Geto Boy's "We Can't Be Stopped".

But man, you can make rockin' mash-up mincement out of her a cappellas.

And I think she's quite attractive.

haha, here's a formal All Music review of her album.

didn't she say "WE ARE AT WAR!" in a really shrill manner...that would make a good sample.

Paul, you have got to be kidding.
But I know you're not.

As far as I'm concerned, Sistah Souljah was a shrill, pedantic voice who only got the attention she did because she was a hanger-on of Public Enemy at the time (of course, the presidential election sure did help). Musically? Useless. Interestingly, however, I just recently saw that Will & Jada optioned one of her novels for the big screen (apparently she's a big black bestseller with her fiction)...

I used to think she was the most irritating, damaging high-profile Black woman in America. Then I read The Isis Papers and realized that Sistah Souljah wasn't nearly as bad as she could be.

(I mean, honestly, if you're going to publish a serious theory about the systematic oppression of black people by white people, would it hurt you to a) finish your arguments, b) not use circular logic, and c) use a spell checker?)

T/S: Sistah Souljah vs. Professor Griff

― Matt Helgeson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 18 December 2003 01:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, Griff is fucking Ezra Pound compared to the Sistah. And "Pawns in the Game" is still pretty def

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Thursday, 18 December 2003 01:26 (twenty-two years ago)

damn! Pawns in the Game was a good single!

Also, please note that, even though it was posted using my real name and email address (which I abandoned on ILM long ago), it is NOT me.

What's the deal with her? Is she, like, some huge Black racist?

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I think we all know that MC Halfpint obliterates Souljah.
