We women continue to swallow this line that it's unladylike or even proof of being a lesbian if you wear flat shoes like Doc Martens. I'm prepared to put up with that accusation, because at least my feet aren't killing me and I don't look like a bandy ostrich.

WHAT DOES UNLADYLIKE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Unladylike

Unladylike is an East St. Louis hip hop duo composed of Teosha "Tee" Thomas and Jasmine "Gunna" Baker, which records for Def Jam Recordings. The duo released its debut album, Certified, on June 2, 2009. Unladylike first got their start in the Midwest market through underground label and production company Unitty Ent, and their CEO Ben Funkman. The duo started their rise to the top, with label mate and friend Anthony M, through the promotional efforts of Ben Funkman and his staff: Robert Gillepsie, John "Rheir Breed" Hughes and many others. Soon the group would go on to perform on BET's 106 and Park Wild Out Wednesday's and shut the crowd down. After that they gained the attention of Voicez Music Group who had distribution through DefJam. Since then the duo has not done as well as expected although, according to some sources, Gunna and Tee are both doing well.
