I don’t know about saving female rap, I think that she is one of the only female rappers out. That’s why Nicki Minaj has a lane that’s incredible right now. I’d like to see a couple more lanes open up. Yes, she is a voice and she’s doing an incredible job. I hope the door continues to open for other female rappers. I want to see 10 female rappers getting regular rotation. It can’t be all about a man’s opinion. The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, “poppin’ bottles” and how many girls they can “tap,” it distorts what kids are learning. I think if there was more of a female presence in hip hop we could break up the monotony. It’s all about balance.
