CL's The Baddest Female is on FIRE!

(Originally Published in The SLS)

It's been a good while since we heard anything new from any of the members from 2NE1. The YG camp has been pretty busy promoting Psy and GD, while our favorite ladies from 2NE1 have been laying low. Now, YG has released a monster of a song from the group's fearless leader,CL , that is going to have fans abusing the replay button.
The single "The Baddest Female" is so in line with CL and her onstage persona. It's effortlessly cool, and hip. I was already dancing when the beat started playing and CL began rapping. I won't lie, I was a little worried about how CL's single was going to turn out. I thought she'd waste no time  pulling out all the stunts and crazy antics, but she kept it relatively tame. The video does remind me of something GD would do, but seeing as they're in the same company and work together it's to be expected. Either way, I'm really loving this song. Does this song have what it takes to be your summer jam?

*chorus* [x2]
I’m a bad girl, I’m a bad girl, I’m a bad girl
Where all my bad girls at?

Yeah I’m strong, very fierce (Yaw!) Someone like you can’t ever handle me (Uh hm)
I don’t have an ounce of jealousy in me, even fortune tellers can’t figure out my heart (Aha)
I’m a queen bee, I’m the heroine, I’m like a rugby ball, don’t know where I’ll bounce to next
On my neck is a gold chain swingin’ left right, I’m not lonely, every night I get right
Confident principles, valuable dignity (Uh huh) My eye smile is a given, my tears are my weapon (that’s right)
My smile is fire, it’ll burn you up (Burn) You want it, come and get it now, if you don’t wanna, that’s too bad

*chorus* [x2]

Hey eonni (Wooh) Eonni, eonni, eonni hey [x2]

Guys call me honey, girls call me unni, my cool words have a good effect
Round round, this strange melody turns and turns yeah
I’m the best, huh? I’m busy every day, so busy, why, are you offended? Huh
I fly higher than a G5, G6, all my b-boys and b-girls, now follow me
I am the proudest, I never say sorry (Nope) Being fake is a given, I’m really smart (Yes)
My smile is killa because it makes everyone die (Oops)
You want it, come and get it now, if you don’t wanna, that’s too bad

*chorus* [x2]

Hey eonni (Wooh) Eonni, eonni, eonni hey [x2]
