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 In truth, “spaz” isn’t offensive—it’s just lame and outdated, the sort of thing middle schoolers said in the late 1990s and which is only uttered now mostly by people who have the sensibilities of 1990s middle schoolers.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!

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
