Great video, but honestly, this isn't unique to today's hip hop. Women have always been sexualized in hip hop. Most weren't artists, but every popular video had sexy women. Also, we can use artists like MC lyte, Queen Latifah and even Yo-Yo, but to be honest, no one puts female rappers in their all time top 10, let alone top 5. Female rappers in the 80's and 90's had to either roll with a male counterpart or mc crew. Or, they had to be extra "hard" or nasty. Honestly, most hip hop fans never gave a real lyrical mc a chance. The industry knows how to use female artists, they promote them by their sexiness. Look around, there's no female Biggies, hell no female Jay-Z's, they have to look a certain way to even last. Also, you've always had men using sex appeal without any issues. Artists like LL Cool J and Big Daddy Kane leaned into it and still got respect. You also had artists like MC Brains singing Oochie Coochie La La La, and we all know about the 2 Live Crew. I think the biggest difference today is its easier to make music or videos, so they're everywhere. The genre is saturated. There's more camera phones as well so videos of kids singing and dancing to adult themed songs are more prevalent. Bottom line, nothing is MORE sexualized today, it's always been here. Maybe it just hasn't been correctly addressed or countered enough.
Really Good Response bro, Thanks for watching . I just think that there was a Freak off No Pun intended.. And now We’re at a Point where the freakiness doesn’t get a reaction.. Also I think where it’s at now is super harmful to the Psyche of the fans of Female hip hop in general because of the Level of Over sexualization. I agree it’s always been Sexualized but now I think it’s Over Sexualized if that makes sense
@uniteduniverse73 I agree the art is being lost. I think being a rapper seems like an occupation more than an artistic display of a talented writer/performer. I think the recent reemergence of artists like LL, Busta, Rakim, Dre and Snoop are directly a result of imposters in the industry. Again, female mc's in the game should be supported by their lyrical prowess. Even Nicky Minaj flipped from a cold mc, with her alter ego "Roman" to a straight sex symbol "Barbie" persona probably due to it boosting her mass appeal. If I were to compare hip hop to another genre where women seem to get overlooked, it would be the stand-up comedy game. In the end, I think the whole temperature of black entertainers needs a respect reset.
