4th Of July Playlist: 15 Songs By Pop’s Most Independent Divas
7. TLC — “No Scrubs” (1999)
This anthem may have been released at the turn of the New Millennium, but women of all ages and backgrounds are still singing its independent praises years later. We all deserve more than a lowly scrub!
8. Madonna — “Human Nature” (1995)
Madonna will go down in history as one of the most confident, audacious and no-f*cks-given entertainer of all time, and her “Human Nature” single shows just why. The tune serves as a middle finger to all the haters, and she couldn’t care less about what they think.
9. Nicki Minaj — “Lookin Ass” (2014)
Men in hip-hop routinely downgrade women in their songs, and thankfully Nicki Minaj was fed up. Her “Lookin Ass” song is a scalding and wildly honest tune that breaks down the ballooned egos of her male rap counterparts.
