Azelia banks: New wave female Hip hop. At the moment I think I can count the number of female rappers on one hand that don't perpetuate the stereotype of either women as sex objects, or products of the media. Ms. Banks transcends her eccentric personality through her music, as opposed to exploiting the concept of females as sex objects. Her music is empowering and inspiring to me, I think its important to have female icons that don't fall under the pressures of sexualizing their music to promote to guys.
In the film about Graffititi that my film crew and I are making, hip hop has had lot of involvement over the past 40 years in Graffiti. But there has not been as many female rappers and graffiti artist as males because both are male dominated industries. BUT THINGS ARE CHANGING.
