Could you imagine your 2003 without Beyoncé’s then biggest hit of her career? According to Sisterhood of Hip Hop star and Brooklyn MC Siya, that was almost a possibility.

“I had that muthafucking Beyoncé ‘Crazy In Love’ beat before Beyoncé had it. I spit a freestyle to it in a meeting, maybe at Sony or some shit,” Siya recalled during her recent #DXLive segment. “They fell in love with me. They were like, ‘Alright this is it. Can we put you in a dress? Can you rap about boys?”

In 2016, one’s sexuality continues to be a divisive subject. Just a week ago, the NBA announced that in lieu of the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, an anti-LGBT bill passed in North Carolina, that there would be no 2017 NBA All-Star in the city of Charlotte. It’s an unprecedented move by such a large corporation, costing the state’s largest city upwards of $100 million in estimated revenue during professional sport’s most popular All-Star break.
