“Why Are There So Few Women In ‘Best-Of’ Hip-Hop Polls?”:
Women are just as much a part of hip-hop and rap as their male counterparts. Whether it’s through their rapping abilities, writing chops, or ground-breaking decision-making skills behind-the-scenes, ladies have proven time and time again that hip-hop isn’t just a man’s game.
In recent years, a cadre of female rappers such as Tierra Whack and Rapsody have fought their way to the head of the hip-hop class, thanks to incredible projects and the skills to boot. However, despite these great strides, women are consistently left out of the conversation when it comes to ranking the best of the genre.
