It is just as oppressive to ask a group of marginalized people to only put forth their "best" so as to present their humanity to the masses. In this case, I mean female rappers, which once again can be translated to BLACK WOMEN. If you have read "Why Assimilation Isn't Good for Anyone", then you understand my views on the ONE example or as fellow feminist (jk I'm a womanist) Chimamanda Adichie's Single Story . There is no one Black Experience, therefore, there is not ONE rapper in the game (Perhaps later I'll delve into reasons as to why rap=black experience ). So why should there be ONE female rapper?
Throughout the history of Black Liberation — which has been incessant since the first slave ships were built — as a society, we, as well as our oppressors, have been obsessed with forcing ourselves to believe that only one image should be shown of Blacks. The battle reincarnates itself in Black households every generation: W.E.B. Du Bois vs Booker T, Dr. King vs Brother Malcolm, conscious rap vs. ____ . I will leave the latter blank and allow you to make that distinction yourselves, for it will guide your entire perception of the rest of this piece.
As a marginalized community, as rappers, as Black people, as women, we do not need someone to fight of the stereotypes people have of Black Women because in that solitary, knight (Lady Brienne spitting bars of sorts), another stereotype will arise.
BLACK WOMEN ARE HUMAN, which means we vary, and in our variation, each of us are multifaceted. In order to accommodate our varied taste if and when we decide to engage in Hip Hop (for Hip Hop culture is redundant), we must have varied options. Sometimes, or all the time, we want to twerk (or cry) with Nicki, or get "deep" with Rapsody, or vogue with Azealia. You know why? Because Black Girl magic comes in different sizes, shapes, messages, and styles.
Any artist who can create, should be creating and furthering the millions of narratives for Black women everywhere. (Y'all can keep Igloo though).
