Motivation Behind “Greedy Bitches” Finally Revealed
I missed Wu-Tang pillar Ghostface Killah (a.k.a. Tony Starks, Ghostface, Pretty Toney, Ironman, and Captain America) last night at the 9:30 Club. But a reader, Jeffrey, caught the show—and took care to document a Killah rumination on women and sandwich cookies. Jeffrey paraphrases Ghostface’s rant:
You know, when I’m on the bus, I like to have candy. So I was taking a nap, and I got up from my nap, and went up to the front of the bus to get some Oreos, and they weren’t there, and I looked around, and my man had these bitches on the bus, and they ate my Oreos. Bitches ate my Oreos! Bitches ate my Oreos! And then he didn’t even fuck them. He didn’t get no pussy.
Ghostface then launched into a spirited rendition of “Greedy Bitches,” a song that, by my count, says “bitch” nearly 40 times. How has VH1: Storytellers not picked up on this yet?

People miss the point of that song. Those ladies were upscale:
1. They didn’t want any money, just food.
2. They didn’t perform sexual acts to receive the food.
It’s a quantum leap for feminism in Wu songs.
