What up witcha, Webster?

Yeah, that just doesn't sound right: "What up witcha, Webster?"
I can understand why Webster Gradney, Jr., decided to call himself "WEBBIE" when he decided to grab the mic and start MCing.
Kerstin wanted to hear some hip hop en route to her orthodontist appointment this morning, so we dialed up the iPod and found "INDEPENDENT" by WEBBIE (feat. LIL BOOSIE and LIL PHAT).
It's a great song, celebrating a woman strong enough to depend upon herself, with her own job, car and home. The video is great, too, highlighting the possibilities open to young women (prize-winning doctor, even president) who dare to dream. It's a far cry from the subject matter of other popular hip hop songs. (You can watch the video on YouTube by clicking here.)
Jill and I first heard Webbie and Lil Boosie (Torrence Hatch) while watching "HUSTLE & FLOW" in 2005. Their song "Swerve" is included on the soundtrack to the hip hop film.
