Da Brat Gives 'Unrestricted' Access To Listeners!

As you all know I have been paying tribute to female rappers and it may not seem like I have as much(but check the sidebar margin for content).

If you didn't know Da Brat is the first female rapper to go platinum(sell a million copies) and in countless raps Da Brat made mention of this. Once her second album, 'Anuthatantrum' Da Brat lost a little of her spark. By the time she recorded 'Unrestricted' Da Brat realized that female rap had changed thanks in part to Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown's overt sexual images.

In various press releases and interviews, Da Brat knew that saying 'sex sells' was true and she was trying to go 'triple platinum'. Shortly before 'Unrestricted' was released, Da Brat showed up at the 'Soul Train Awards' donning a pink catsuit, long red straight hair, and a womanly image we had never seen from her. We knew then that Da Brat was ready to make some noise; sexually and musically.

Still keeping her gangsta image in tact, Da Brat released first single, 'That's What I'm Looking For' and followed it up with the sexual, 'What'chu Like' featuring Tyrese(which became one of my favorite songs of 2000). Elsewhere on 'Unrestricted' Da Brat brings on her sexual prowess but still shows her gangsta side. Da Brat's sexual image paid off as this album eventually went platinum.
