Women of Rap: You now have the Mic! 

Many of you will not like this argument I'm about to present to you. On the regular, Hip hop and Rap get plenty of complaints from women in regard to violence and misogyny. 

In terms of mainstream rap, female recording artists now have the floor and the opportunity that they once never had before. Yet all I hear from women of mainstream rap today is sexually explicit lyrics and a truck load of man-hating. Don't get me wrong, some of that stuff sounds cool at first but then it begins to sound like noise.

Gone are the days of real female emcees like Lauryn Hill who could go toe-to-toe with any male rapper without referencing sexuality. I would be wrong to neglect the fact that great female rappers still do exist with the likes of Che' Noir, Raina Simone, and YaH-Ra. They mainly exist on an underground level and out of the spotlight. I highly recommend my readers to visit these (3) previously mentioned recording artists' home pages, in particular.

My only advice to the women of modern rap today would be stay true to your core self. A lot of women enter the mainstream rap game for a quick cash grab not realizing they have sell their soul in the process. Be careful out there, ladies!
