Rhapsody Song of the Day

Song: Love Me or Hate Me
Album: Public Warning
Artist: Lady Sovereign
Selected by: Piotr Orlov
Date: November 10, 2008

Repping the one-hit wonders of TRL: remember when the “biggest midget in the game” went to #1 on TRL (October 2006), and critics thought it spelled grime’s American breakthrough? Two years later, the S.O.V.’s soundscans haven’t cracked 130K, and her rep has barely surpassed her height. Still, besides being a damn good mixtape jam (dig the pop genius of the “breastesses”/”bestesses” rhyme), the song that “made” her stands as an anthem for the show. If you love it, then thank you; if you hate it, then f*ck you! All opinions being equal.
