Summary:
"An illustrated highlight reel of more than
100
women
in rap
who
have helped shape the genre and eschewed gender norms in the process. The Motherlode highlights more than
100
women
who
have shaped the power, scope, and reach of rap music, including pioneers like Roxanne Shanté, game changers like Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott, and current reigning queens like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Lizzo -- as well as everyone
who
came before, after, and in between. Some of these
women
were respected but not widely celebrated. Some are impossible not to know. Some of these
women
have stood on their own; others were forced into templates, compelled to stand beside men in big rap crews. Some have been trapped in a strange critical space between respected MC and object. They are characters, caricatures, lyricists, at times both feminine and explicit. This book profiles each of these
women
, their musical and career breakthroughs, and the ways in which they each helped change the culture of rap."--Publisher.
