FROM STRIPPING TO DOG-WALKING: THE RISE OF CARDI B AND WOMEN WHO RAPIn
this lecture, we will discuss the _noise_ over which black WOMEN WHO
RAP MUST CONTEND IN ORDER TO MAKE THEIR VOICES _heard._ We will
discuss the ways that black WOMEN WHO RAP WORK WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE
BOUNDARIES OF what is understood to be “appropriate” for black
WOMEN WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF HIP-hop culture to do and say. We'll focus
on the meteoric of CARDI B ASKING HOW SHE HAS CONSISTENTLY DISTURBED
THE BOUNDARIES AROUND NORMS OF RACIALIZED GENDER AND SEXUALITY.
We’ll discuss how black WOMEN WHO RAP HAVE CONSISTENTLY MANAGED TO
OVERSTEP THESE BOUNDARIES USING THE LANGUAGE OF HIP-hop, which is
typically a domain where men and masculinity reign supreme, to
question hip-hop's patriarchy and heteronormativity and exposing its
fault lines. We'll end by thinking about how black WOMEN WHO RAP
DARE US TO _listen_ to what Black women have to say about their
experiences of race, gender, and sexuality.
