What up. What up. Hey yall! Shanny Rox back in this thang!! Today in this video im discussing how i feel about the term "female" rapper.
There's mix opinions in the music industry about this phrase. Some say it's disrespectful . Some say it's empowering.
Rapper, Le1f said, " Female reduces a person to biological anatomy, making it inherently transphobic and it feels as if there's a disconnect and the respect that every person should be entitled to, is missing.
In 2012, during the BET hip hop cypher, South African rapper Jean Grea started her verse with the line, "2012, stop saying femcee."
ALSO
The Source published a piece saying, "...naysayers claim the term takes away from the important contributions women have made to the genre and makes them seem less important than male artist by putting them in separate categories."
On the other hand, others approve the nickname and see it as a form of empowerment. Saying that women are just as talented and strong behind the Mic just like male rappers. Stating that expressing their sexuality is up lifting and powerful.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?? Should we ditch the phrase Female Rappers to and respect them as a regular rapper? OR Should we embrace it as it's own category??
Leave your comment below! I would love to hear your opinion...
