Women in hip hop

Modern women in “hip-hop”
Today people are hyper critical of how women display their sexuality in their music. Beyonce and Nicki Minaj are among the most well-known and popular women in hip-hop. Nicki Minaj is constantly criticized for speaking about her sexuality and sexual attraction towards women but then belittled for it not being “authentic” enough. In a Savannah Shange article Shange says, “How much pussy do you need to eat” to be considered queer. Part of how Minaj displays her sexuality is a performance but that does not mean it is any less authentic. Also, there’s an ongoing debate as to whether a woman displaying her sexuality and being sexual is part of conforming to the patriarchy or just women having the free will to express themselves and embrace their bodies.
