Female Rap = Women Empowerment

Shuffling my “Rap girls” playlist in order to not feel lesser, whilst doing the dishes and Megan Thee Stallion ‘Neva’ comes on. Her powerfully playful lyrics reminded me of a relationship I recently untangled myself from… “I could tell these bitches spoil you, but I’m a player so I see the toy in you”. This is one of her many songs that make you sit back and reevaluate your dating life. Although men love to reduce Meg to “being tall and twerking” she is clearly multifaceted as she’s managed to achieve greatness in her early career. Holding two major collaborations with Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé under her belt. The unification of many of the rap girls would not have been probable without her hand playing a part. She’s displayed a handful of talents despite the exploitation she has faced from men and media. Her male counter parts in the hip hop game could “truly never” hold their own the way she has.
