Snow Tha Product Ain’t Ever Gonna Say ‘Don’t Be Too Sexy’ And Says Disney Has Some ‘Tough Fucking Lawyers’
In a recent interview with HipHopDX, Snow Tha Product explains the meaning behind her new project, entitled, “Good Nights & Bad Mornings,” gives her opinion on sex selling female rappers and Disney not letting her name herself “Snow White Tha Product.”
Excerpt from the interview..
HipHopDX: I want to start off by saying Disney definitely messed up when they didn’t give you the rights to the name “Snow White Tha Product.” I’m sure at this point they have to be kicking themselves for missing out on that. [Laughs]
Snow Tha Product: [Laughs] Thank you. Yeah, considering that they make kids movies they sure got some rough and tough fucking lawyers.
DX: Along with the captivating and entertaining visuals, you’re making a very strong statement with the record “Cookie Cutter Bitches.” Why do you think it was necessary to make that kind of record?
Snow Tha Product: I feel like there are a lot of people who don’t have their own identity. They just want to go with what they think is tight. They’re very judgmental of anything that’s different, and I feel like, why not? Especially because I have a lot of cousins. I’m Mexican, I got a lot of cousins, and my little cousins are always like, “Oh, that’s not cool. Why are you doing that?” I need to teach you kids a lesson. You need to not be worried about that, you need to be yourself. I just felt like it was something that needed to be said.
Even in the music industry. Everybody wants to get the female rapper and do exactly what happens with Nicki Minaj or Lil’ Kim. And it’s like, how about looking for somebody that’s different? Maybe that’s not all what everybody wants. Leave those girls’ lane alone and try something different.
DX: Do you see other female artists within the industry that are doing that as well, that you respect?
Snow Tha Product: Look, I respect originality. If you’re doing something and it’s your own shit I’m not ever going to be like, “Don’t be too sexy.” I just feel like considering how kids nowadays are looking up to all of these rappers, sometimes it’s just easy and kind of a cop-out to go with the whole sex [theme] and talk about sex and doing all this shit. Try to rely on your talent, not that. You get paid to rap; that’s what we do, so do that.
