I have loved hip hop music since I first heard Raising Hell by Run DMC. I love MCs who spit important lyrics ― lyrics that mean something to a lot of people and move the culture. I believe that the misogyny in hip hop is a byproduct of the misogyny in our larger culture. But, I hold hip hop to a higher standard than other genres, because I love it so much. Listening to hip hop, it sounds like the only strong women rappers have ever met are their own mothers.
