Women have decided to consume hip hop regardless of the sexism and machismo of their rap artist spouses. Historically, black women who have sex with other women haven’t been recognized in the Black community. Also, the expectations are the same in hip hop culture because men reject lesbians. An example is the murder in 2003 of Sakia Gunn after she declared her lesbian identity to a group of males. We all know that in hip hop culture men predominate and precisely masculine. Women can achieve a higher professional success than men regarding no matter their sexual orientation. In other hand, women represent different controlling images like the whore, the mammy and temptress. Homophobia in hip hop is translated into forms of oppression, discrimination and violence for gays, lesbians and transgender. “Black women rappers interpret and articulate the fears, pleasures, and promises of young black women whose voices have been relegated to the margins of public discourse.” Their voices are in constant dialogue with the public and men rappers about sexual promiscuity, emotional commitment, infidelity, the drug trade, racial politics and black cultural history. If we pay close attention to female rappers, we will notice that they address questions of sexual power, economic opportunities and the pain of racism and sexism. Women rappers has been promoted as sexually progressive, antisexist voices because of “an understanding of male rappers as uniformly sexist.” Discussions of women

Hip-hop feminists are using feminism to draw a critique from the social, political, economic structures that shape their lives and give rise to the mainstream violent misogynist music. In the DVD we watched in class, Say My Name, they are aware that being a woman in hip-hop culture that they are at an extreme disadvantage when it comes to be respected at lyrists. Women in hip-hop are seen as sexual objects and it is rare when you see a rapper talking about respecting a woman in his music. These women believe that hip-hop is a tool for social change and these hip-hop feminists can spread their message of critical analysis and empowerment through their lyrics. They want to stay true to themselves by not rapping about what the media wants to hear or what sells, but rather an intersection of class, race, and gender that has a special meaning to them. Another example of hip hop feminism in the film is when the females that were

Not only was she doing all of this at the young age of 17, but Alicia also managed to graduate out of her high school a year early, and as the schools prized valedictorian. In late 1999, Alicia followed the renowned Clive Davis to his new company J Records, where she continued to show signs of success. Now, at the age of 20 in the year 2001, releasing her Debut CD “Songs in A Minor,” Alicia Keys is still rising. Her CD has already gone triple platinum, (the first number 1 album for her new label). She has also won the 2001 Best New Artist MTV video music award. Her music is incredible, with well-written and very wise lyrics. Her sound is very unique and different from many of the artists out there right now.

Rap music in general has failed miserably in portraying the true worth of a woman. Women have a character that men cannot replace in any other way. “Behind every great man, there is a great woman,” and I strongly believe this because it is very applicable in my life as well. I can say that my mother plays an important role in my life, and she stood behind my success till now. Being an international student in this country takes a lot of courage, but the support and encouragement from my mother has helped me every step of the way. She is able to do things that a man cannot do; to be the nurturing, caring, patient, loving, and protective woman she can be to her children and her family.
