Women and Hip Hop

The impact that hip-hop has on women, is totally different from a man’s point of view and hip-

hop. Women play a more submissive role when it comes to hip-hop. It seems to me like females

have to try harder than men, like men have more to say and can relate to the public more. It’s

like when a female make a provocative statement she’s looked down on by the public. For

example Lil Kim to me is a very talented individual whose idea on hip hop was perceived

wrongly by the public. She was looked at and scolded on for her provocative ways and way of

expressing herself. Female’s artists for as long back as I can remember haven’t and didn’t make

as much money nor did they get half as much recognition as male artist. I feel as though hip hop

should try and give our female artist’s more acknowledgment.
