:: Can\'t Hold Us Down

Christina Aguilera with Lil\' Kim

Can’t Hold Us Down speaks volumes on female empowerment. Aguilera’s collaboration with Lil’ Kim on this single is a ripper. The whole song drips with attitude, and rocks with smooth R & B and rap tracks. Aguilera and Lil’ Kim sing about the double standards of society where it’s acceptable for men to score but a woman is called a whore for doing the same thing. The combination of Lil’ Kim’s soulful vocals and Aguilera’s makes for potent listening. ‘To all the girls around, nobody, can hold us down’ is one refrain that will get you pumping. It’s easy to see why this single is a chart topper.
