Re: re (most of) the rap threads from yesterday
(Anonymous) 2013-01-29 03:27 am (UTC)(link)I didn't get that impression...? I don't think that people recommending white rappers means that they're dissing black ones. Rap has become a very large and varied genre over the past decade and it is filled with all kinds of people of all races that reaches many demographics.
And I saw that the OP of the rap thread said they didn't want misogynistic rap recs but they didn't say ALL rap was that way and admitted they had little experience with rap and that from what other people had told them, rap was a more diverse genre than they realized. lbr though, I'm a fairly big rap fan but even I can admit that misogyny is more prevalent/intense (I think intensity may be the real problem here. I can think of a lot of sexist pop/rock/country songs but the sexism often isn't as "in your face" as it can be in rap music) in rap than it is in some other genres. Does that mean it's in every rap song? No. Does that mean the majority of rappers say disgusting things about women? Well I'm not sure but I'd like to think not.
Re: re (most of) the rap threads from yesterday
(Anonymous) 2013-01-29 03:36 am (UTC)(link)I think it mostly meant that people in the thread didn't know or listen to any black rap artists.
I think everything else you're saying is mostly true. Although there are really good female rap artists out there and I wish I knew more about them to recommend but I'll just throw out Azealia Banks. Also Big Freedia isn't really a rapper but I don't care everyone should listen to Big Freedia I mean seriously
Re: re (most of) the rap threads from yesterday
(Anonymous) 2013-01-29 03:41 am (UTC)(link)Azealia Banks is brilliant :)
I haven't given Big Freedia a try, but I think I will now!
I agree that female rappers should get more of the spotlight. Rap is just such a male dominated genre (or at least men are the ones who the lion's share of attention). But I'm hopeful that more ladies will start breaking through in the coming years
