    I was really hoping you’d mention Foxy Brown and Rico Nasty.
    Foxy was Nicki’s main influence and the reason she wanted to start rapping. Foxy has lots of fire music too.
    Rico is probably one of the most creative female rappers out there. She fuses metal, punk, hyperpop, and rock into her rapping, and it works so well.
    These 2 women definitely deserve more credit and recognition.

    It's sad to see that genuinely good female rappers are being over looked for mediocre rappers who are pushed forward just cause of they're attractiveness. Like some of them could let their looks carry them but put there amazing lyricism, flow and talent shine over their drop dead gorgeous faces and bodies. People like Flo milli, Monaleo, Megan (although polarising to some), Nicki and more.

They claim they want to get rid of the male Dominating but they’re moving backwards. That’s why the game don’t take them seriously. They don’t move smart.

    Thank you got mentioning Doechii!
    Her song "Girls" is one of my favs and it's so mellow meanwhile "Crazy" is high energy and vicious.
    She's also one of the very few artists who made a Halloween song "Spookie Coochie" which I think is a really nice marker to an artist being kind of "Alt" in a way which made great sense when she did a Collab with Rico Nasty.
    Her style is very flexible and I can't wait to see where she'll be going

    While I agree that there’s been an increase mediocre female rappers in recent times, I don’t ever see the same being said for male rappers. The amount of mediocre male rappers out there doing the same sound cloud music is insane yet nobody talks about how male rap is declining. It’s really who you listen to because I think female rap is at its best and more diverse than it’s ever been 🤷🏽‍♀️

      I think she also almost created a third lane for female rappers. The two main types of female rappers tended to be thought of as either hypersexual or concious feminist and Missy showed a third possibility where you can just be your self and even be eccentric without being always very wise and feminist or very sexual and "hot". That is how you got great later rappers like Rico Nasty or Tierra Whack who didn´t fit in either the concious feminist or hypersexual hot female rapper stereotype. I am not againts sexual or councious rappers either. I like both Megan (actually more than Nicky) and Little Simz

    What kinda irks me tho is that male rap has been declining in quality for years now imo. obviously there are the greats like kendrick, j cole etc. but like most of these newer male rappers, rap about the same sht in every song and nobody cares. but when female rap faces a similar issue all of a sudden it’s “female rap is boring” “bring the bars” blablabla. women always face higher expectation as men and it’s so annoying. thats also why you NEVER see a non attractive woman get successfull but there are tons of men coming to mind who arent conventionally attractive not just in rap but in the entertainment industry in general. women always have to do 10x more than men and still wont get the same respect. and for black women it’s even worse.

    I think Cupcakke is a great reference point for these kinds of stories. She's overlooked and judged (sometimes positively, sometimes negatively) for making oversexualised music, but her actual discography and songwriting is phenomenal, she's a really great lyricist. It's just that people see sexuality and they think it cancels out, that you, can't have both. I really hate that

      Azealia Banks' controversies shouldn't be the reason why she's not as popular/successful as she could be (honestly, the blackballing after the Russell Crowe incident is thhe main reason why). There's so many rappers - male or female, who have been controversial (or are literal murderers), I meant, it's HIP HOP.

    Rap is inherently braggadocious, competitive. It’s about pushing your pend, craft, & flow. I think a lot of the women in the 80s and 90s felt they couldn’t express a lot of their femininity in order to be “taken seriously” in the male dominated field.

    I really enjoyed your comment on the profitability and therefore popularity of hyper-sexual female rap tropes and their violent male counterparts and how that in turn reinforces stereotypes. It seems to be a never ending cycle because although particularly black women and men might have an independent drive to create and be heard they learn the only way for them to do that is to conform the stereotypical rap styles. I also enjoyed what you said about the importance of women rapping about their experience as women & poc women alike. There’s so much more to the female & black female experience than being marginalized and discriminated against as well as being the voluptuous sexy it girl. I’ve found that smino’s most recent album illuminated the black experience of family dynamics, brotherly love and undeniable black style. This made me conscious of a beautiful culture I never knew as a mixed 20 something growing up in a white family. I also appreciate the doechii and little sims love!! Just a great essay in general

    I always wondered about the public assumption when it comes to ghost writers. U can get writing credits if u contribute one line to the song. But whenever u see extra names being credited, everyone assumes it’s the whole song being written for someone and the female rap artists doesn’t write anything. No one knows how much or how little is written on any song.
    But with female rappers it’s always an assumption of them writing nothing but the men never have that assumption placed on them. Drake was called out a while back for ghost writers but he still has countless writers on a song but I never hear “this song was written for Drake”

    I grew up mostly listening to rock and metal living in Australia but found hip hop once I reached high school in 2000 and now consider hip hop as one of the most amazing, creative and intelligent forms of music
    But having loved the art form equally over the past 22 years, sadly this is the first I’ve heard of a lot of these truly amazing artists from the 90s conscious rap era as they were and still are criminally underexposed, especially here in Australia
    Do you make Spotify playlists? Or could you list these artist and track names in your description? That second Heather B track you played is amazing
    And if anyone else has some recommendations let me know, always looking for more music

    Hi Madisyn, thank you so much for this video. I am working on the research on my theses about the female rap and how female rap artists portrait their own body in the lyrics in the past 20 years and your video is really helpful to me. As always you put a lot of research to it and I really appreciate it. Sending love from Czechia

      one artist doesnt change the other artists for it to make sense not to still think female rap is trash rn. One good album by one artist is an outlier. Im not saying i agree with them, most are talking about mainstream. I think the only people who listen to female rap grew up hearing it or specifically sought it out, because everytime someone says good female rap exist, im certain thats true, but theyre also naming like 7 people tops, and theyre listing the same names. Female rap is larger than one artist, thats why even with nicki minaj, doja who i enjoy personally, and all these names, they still say that. I think a lot of rap across the board is bad, gender irrelevent

    I think in itself, having a discussion of whether these artists should be referred to as “female rappers” or simply “rappers” is interesting. The term “rappers” is good in that it does not isolate female artists as a seperate category, instead allowing them to be viewed on the same playing field as male artists. However, the term “female rappers” in itself is not necessarily negative in acknowledging gender, rather it just recognises that these people have been able to achieve success in a male-dominated industry. I don’t know which is better - I guess it just depends on the individual preferences of the artist.

    • @gengashaunt3322

      The same with actors and actresses. Waiter and Waitress, even animals have this though, lion, and lioness, tiger and tigress, frog and frog, bees and knees, you get it. ive always thought it was silly to denote it when it comes to proffessions where it doesnt make a difference but people actually enjoy categories more often than not. Its organized. Makes sense of otherwise clutter. Labels are more often than not, helpful and convenient. But again, when would it matter whether your server is a man or woman? a doctor, depending on the issue i get, but rappers? Actors? Teachers dont have that, BUT at the same time, its not harmful, just unnecessary and annoying. It happens in metal too, youll see lists that specify female lead metal bands. While its irritating because they are metal bands, who cares what gender the lead is, i DO prefer male leads, and its what i typically listen to, so the label prepares me to hear differences in vocals. I also can look up female lead bands if i like and because they DID do this, i can find many just by googling it. sometimes theyre good somethings theyre bad ( labels denoting gender )

    Music reflects the time. Especially pop music. Rap is pop music for the most part. Rappers are giving you what's popular now.
    Stripper culture brought you strippers rapping. Like gangster culture brought you gangsters rapping. Dope fiend pill popping culture brought you dope fiends rapping. Conscious culture brought you conscious rappers.
    Musicians are a reflection of the times. Popular artist reflect now. Legendary artist make timeless music but they tap into now also. A few years ago we only had one female artist doing well. Now we sick of them doing well. Yet we never sick of these mediocre or pathetic male rappers.
