Bryson Tiller – Let me explain

This song is about honesty in a relationship. Bryson admits that he has treated a girl badly and that such behavior is disrespectful. This song could be juxtaposed against much of the other representations of women found in Hip-Hop which are misogynistic and prioritize a male perspective. Bryson takes a feminist stance which shows that it is good for men to be emotionally vulnerable. In doing so, he challenges the masculine/ macho stereotype which is so common in rap – though he acknowledges that he finds this very hard to do and there is even more to confess to and share.
