For this post, I wanted to focus on how women are not represented in most of the genre. More specifically in Hip Hop; I think this two videos/ songs really give voice to the women and the issue of how the system has take their voice and stereotyped them to nothing. I am going off our conversation in class about Ice Cubes documentary, how there was such underrepresentation of the women artists.

Freedom Rap (Panther Theme) ft. Queen Latifah, Yo-Yo, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopez (TLC), Mc Lyte, Patra, Nefertiti, Da 5 Footaz, Salt-N-Pepa, Meshell Ndegeocello and others… The all-star recording of song was written in dedication to all the women who dedicated their live to the movement.

Queen Latifah in the U.N.I.T.Y. in the 1993 record called out the issue, that still happening, of the disrespectfulness that is  targeted to women.
