After decades of promoting the filthiest, most violent, misogynistic, depraved values and behaviors imaginable, rap music finally appears to be turning a long-awaited corner: Lizzo rerecords ‘Grrrls’ following criticism over ableist lyric Singer songwriter Lizzo has rereleased her new single “Grrrls” with a lyric change after it sparked heated discussions online about ableist language.
The song, which is set to appear on her upcoming album Special , received praise and excitement from many fans upon its release last Friday. Others, especially those within the disability community, expressed concern about her use of the word “spaz,” which many consider an ableist slur. Ahh, yes, “spaz.” That most offensive of “ableist slurs,” the sort of thing that will bring a live Grammy performance to a screeching halt. In truth, “spaz” isn’t offensive—it’s just lame and outdated, the sort of thing middle schoolers said in the late 1990s and which is only uttered now mostly by people who have the sensibilities of 1990s middle schoolers. Indeed, it is so firmly dated to Gen X culture that they actually named a character “Spaz” in the watermark 1979 camp comedy “Meatballs.” We’re not going to stream Lizzo’s “Grrls” video here because it’s just too unpleasant, but for reference, here are some of the lyrics that she has decided are not too offensive to excise: That’s my girl, we CEO’s
And dancin’ like a C-E-ho
We about to throw them bows
Let’s [expletive] it up …
I’ma go Lorena Bobbitt on him so he never [expletive] again, no-oh, oh
Now you can’t [expletive] again, bro Thank goodness she cut out the 40-year-old slang term though!

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
