Friday, May 18, 2007  Soca singer Destra Garcia has a problem. She has a problem with lyrics. Not soca lyrics, which, given that she sings soca, and that "soca lyrics" is basically an oxymoron, you would think she might be more than a little concerned about. No, according to an article from Caribbean360.com, our Destra has a problem with hip-hop lyrics. She thinks they're degrading to women. No argument here--a lot (though certainly not all) of hip-hop is certainly quite misogynist. (There is misogynist soca too, but Destra conveniently overlooks that.)
