Reading the notes before listening, I thought the disagreement was between “lay-ah” and “lee-ah” (I know women with both pronunciations). But pronouncing Leah as “lee” is incorrect. Your friend is wrong, Katie.
A quick point on the Thomas Chatterton Williams hate: white people rabidly defending gangster rap has always confused me. The idea that only white racists and black conservatives criticize rap is laughable. I love rap, including the more hardcore variety, but some of the lyrics are incredibly violent and sexist and draw the ire of a variety of people. It’s pretty racist to insinuate that a black person has some sort of ulterior motive for criticizing a musical genre with extremely controversial lyrics and artists. But certain white progressives do this all the time: they decide that something represents a group of people, and then they vilify anyone from that group that objects.
