Rap is hardcore street music but there are women out there who can hang with the best male rappers. What holds us back is that girls tend to rap in these high, squeaky voices. It's irritating. You've gotta rap from the diaphragm.

I'm not really into the fashion thing.

It is stupid not to talk about sex. It is stupid not to communicate with your spouse and your children. It can't be a taboo.

One of the speakers asked how many women had been harassed or abused sexually in their life? There were thousands of women in the audience, and almost every one of them raised her hand.

We as a group were a voice for women. We've been through a lot, we've experienced a lot. We were very outspoken. We expressed ourselves. To this day we stand by that, we freely talk about sex and relationships.

Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.

I'm really open to doing music. We just have to figure out what kind of music it's going to be - something where I don't feel compromised.
