PERRIN C I R E : S WORD
Okay, so you seem to know what you want sexually, but what is your least favorite thing about sex? If I don’t get mine it’s like, what the hell was the point, what was the purpose? That’s very important. In your opinion, what region of the country has the sexiest men? It’s between the South and the East coast. Southern dudes, they’re real sexy and they have their own type of thing going on as far as the countryness of them, their slang, and the way they get down. But up North dudes, especially the Uptown Harlem dudes, they got that sexy, straight thug ass, gangsta kind of vibe to ‘em. My thing is just, I like a real confident, stand alone type of nigga who ‘bout they business, and thuggish, and know how to treat a woman. What’s the most essential element in having good sex? In other words, what makes good sex great, in your opinion? It’s really good when you’re doing it with somebody you love. I like emotion, I like intensity, I like grabbing and yanking, all that. Grabbing and yanking, wow? So what’s your favorite position? Wow! You’re really asking some questions. Positions? I like ‘em all. As long as I can bend that way. [laughs] If you could have sex in one place that you’ve never done it before, where would that be? I’ve fulfilled all my fantasies. I’ve done everything I’ve wanted. Okay, since you are known as the Georgia Peach, I gotta ask you, in what ways do you compare to an actual Georgia peach? I’m just so round and sweet and scrumptious and delicious and juicy. I’m full of flavor. In your opinion, what is your best physical feature? Besides my face? [laughs] My legs.

ot since Adam ate the forbidden apple has a fruit been as sinfully tempting as this Georgia Peach. Rasheeda has made Atlanta her lyrical Garden of Eden and doesn’t plan on letting any snakes impede her path to paradise. The provocative lyric purveyor has made a name for herself as one of ATL’s sexiest female emcees. Bestowed with lustfully luring lyrics, ‘Sheeda the seductress is full of flavor and she knows you want a taste of her Georgia Peach. Rasheeda, how have things been? What have you been working on lately? Everything’s been going pretty cool. It’s a hard business being independent and being a female. I’ve been taking everything in stride and trying to keep it moving. Right now I’m totally independent and looking to make some good decisions and get out here and shoot the video to the new single, “My Bubblegum.” How important do you believe sex appeal is to the success of a female rap artist? Something that I’ve learned over time is that women are sexy. They’re looked upon as being sexual. People want to see something that is sexy or something that is appealing. And when it comes to women emcees, I feel as though we have a choice of how far we wanna take the sex thing, but as a woman, you have to get out there. We have to do things that are not only appealing to men, but to other women [as well] and sex is a universal thing. As a female emcee, I just try to come in and talk about the things that I can relate to that are sexy, and I try not to take things to far because that’s not me. Are there any sexually related topics that you won’t speak on lyrically? There’s not anything I would say that I wouldn’t speak on, but my thing is that I try not to be down right, flat out nasty about shit. You know what I’m saying? When I talk about certain things and express certain things, I try to keep it in a classy sense. You’re known to have a lot of descriptive, sexy lyrics, but in your opinion, what is the sexiest lyric you’ve ever delivered? I have two. One of them is, “Sometimes you gotta direct them like traffic / I don’t come quick, but when I do, it’s fantastic!” And the second one would be, “First things first, I Sheeda / Fuck around wit’ no man that won’t eat her.”

Can you talk a little bit about your thoughts on unsafe sex and HIV and AIDS? Honestly, don’t be out here having unsafe sex, period. People don’t tend to think that it’s a serious issue because they don’t think it happens in their own backyard, but let me tell you something, black people make up something like 70% of new HIV cases and that’s not a good look. Unfortunately, the bad thing about it is that’s its something we could prevent. Instead of being just caught up in the moment, think about your kids or future, or your could-be kids, cause you could be laid up in the hospital somewhere dying of AIDS just for a minute, or a couple of hours of pleasure, it’s stupid. People need to be safe, wrap it up and be cautious about what they’re out there doing. A lot of times in the rap world, young, naïve girls are used just as semen receptacles for male rappers and entourage members. What advice can you give to the young girls who go out here and have sex with rappers just because of their status? It’s real unfortunate because it’s so evident and it’s gotten worse and worse. The funny thing to me is that, what these women don’t seem understand, honey, is that these men have wives. The majority of these dudes are married or in committed relationships. So all you gon’ get out of it is some sex. And if that’s what your goal is, then that’s you, but at the end of the day you’re not having any respect for yourself. I don’t understand why a woman’s goal in life would be to sleep with these rappers who don’t give two shits about you. As a sexy female rapper, you probably have a lot of male groupies. Do you consider male groupies to be worse than female groupies? To me, male groupies are worse. With niggas, it’s always like “Damn, shawty. Lemme eat that peach, shawty!” You know, you don’t even have to come at me like that. That’s a turn off. Just say, “What’s up?” Okay, you briefly mentioned your turn-offs, but what turns you on? Men that are in shape, you know, have a nice body. But really just like, a nice swag, the way you carry yourself, all of that is just a big turn on to me. And sexually, somebody that knows how to caress and touch you in the right places and kiss you in the right places, that’s a big turn on. If you had to choose between never again having sex in life, or never again making another dollar, which would it be and why? I plan on having more kids, and I wanna have a family. I could do without the dollars cause you could cut me a check. [laughs] Plus, my mate should be able to hold me down anyway. I gotta have the sex.
