In class with talk a little about hip hop. One rapper we talked about was Nicki Minaji and she is very popular female rapper, especially since she is able to make both hip-hop and pop songs which give her more "cross over" appeal but she is DEFINETlY not the only female rapper.
There is always a lot of criticism towards hip hop for being misogynist but there are a lot of female rappers (especially when hip-hop first became popular) that have prevalent feminist themes in their raps.
Here are some of them.
Thanks for sharing these! I've never heard some of these songs and I definitely am liking the fact that they have these feminist ideas in them.
ReplyDeleteAfter discussing this on Tuesday, I was really interested in seeing how many others are out there that bring the female perspective to hip hip. It is really a shame that most of these artists are not as known.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! I knew about Queen Latifah (and that song in particular), but I'd never heard of any of the others until now. I'll have check out some of their other stuff now!
