Download or read book 50 Years of Hip Hop written by S Scott Jr and published by S Scott Jr. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 50 years, hip hop has evolved from an underground subculture to a global mass media phenomenon that is today considered one of the most dominant music genres. While the origins of hip hop are commonly associated with iconic male pioneers like DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and the like, female rappers have been trailblazing right alongside them since the beginning. From the first all-female rap groups like The Sequence breaking new ground in the 1970s to today’s chart-topping, genre-bending superstars like Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, women have proved themselves to be a formidable force of lyricism and flow within hip hop for the last five decades. In Leading Ladies of Lyrics: Female Rappers Over 50 Years of Hip Hop, we will embark on a chronological journey through hip hop’s history from the eyes of the commanding women who have shaped it. We’ll discover how these pioneering queens of rhyme fought for representation in a male-dominated field, overcame limitations to prove their skill and versatility on the mic, and evolved into raw, authentic voices of power for generations of listeners. From Roxanne Shanté’s battle rhymes to Queen Latifah’s socially conscious messages to Nicki Minaj’s pop culture dominance, Leading Ladies of Lyrics puts a spotlight on the legendary achievements of rap’s greatest female MCs who changed the game and brought a dynamic woman’s voice to the leading edge of lyricism.

Download or read book God Save the Queens written by Kathy Iandoli and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of the Year "Without God Save the Queens, it is possible that the contributions of dozens of important female hip-hop artists who have sold tens of millions of albums, starred in monumental films, and influenced the direction of the culture would continue to go unrecognized." —AllHipHop.com Can’t Stop Won’t Stop meets Girls to the Front in this essential and long overdue history of hip-hop’s female pioneers and its enduring stars. Every history of hip-hop previously published, from Jeff Chang’s Can’t Stop Won’t Stop to Shea Serrano’s The Rap Yearbook, focuses primarily on men, glaringly omitting a thorough and respectful examination of the presence and contribution of the genre’s female artists. For far too long, women in hip-hop have been relegated to the shadows, viewed as the designated “First Lady” thrown a contract, a pawn in some beef, or even worse. But as Kathy Iandoli makes clear, the reality is very different. Today, hip-hop is dominated by successful women such as Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, yet there are scores of female artists whose influence continues to resonate. God Save the Queens pays tribute to the women of hip-hop—from the early work of Roxanne Shante, to hitmakers like Queen Latifah and Missy Elliot, to the superstars of today. Exploring issues of gender, money, sexuality, violence, body image, feuds, objectification and more, God Save the Queens is an important and monumental work of music journalism that at last gives these influential female artists the respect they have long deserved.

Download or read book The Motherlode written by Clover Hope and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated highlight reel of more than 100 women in rap who have helped shape the genre and eschewed gender norms in the process The Motherlode highlights more than 100 women who have shaped the power, scope, and reach of rap music, including pioneers like Roxanne Shanté, game changers like Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott, and current reigning queens like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Lizzo—as well as everyone who came before, after, and in between. Some of these women were respected but not widely celebrated. Some are impossible not to know. Some of these women have stood on their own; others were forced into templates, compelled to stand beside men in big rap crews. Some have been trapped in a strange critical space between respected MC and object. They are characters, caricatures, lyricists, at times both feminine and explicit. This book profiles each of these women, their musical and career breakthroughs, and the ways in which they each helped change the culture of rap.
