@ariesmry3 жыл бұрын
@@emmadilemma7800 This is business more than anything. Their male counterparts either had more leverage in the industry, a strong fanbase, or a record label that allowed them to put on female rappers. Now that the music industry sees how profitable female rappers are, they can skip that process in terms of getting signed, and now, many can remain independent for quite some time. But they still go through a subtle system of being put on, whether it be with who they collab with, who they date, or even their management company.

Well honestly, the Industry followed the Hollywood Standard that in order for women to be considered successful, glamorous and a sex symbol (eye candy) they had to be thin. As not to lose credibility and capital the Rap Industry followed suit until they saw the measured success and mass appeal from female rappers of the likes of Queen Latifah, Missy Misdemeanor Elliot, Mia X and any other big boned thick female emcees that ever rocked the mic. Basically in a nutshell, those women paved the way for rappers like Lizo

while i couldn’t find her exact height online, in pictures she looks to be around the same height as beyoncé who’s 1.7m - so using that for reference, amil was at a perfectly healthy weight for herself at 135 pounds. the entertainment industry is extremely toxic and promotes so many unrealistic standards, it’s unfortunate she had to give up making music because of it.

A lot of theses male rappers just signed a female rapper for diversity and to get a cut of the ladies earnings without having to pay them full price for a verse/feature. Notice how the ladies that were signed under a male rapper's label did a few hit songs with that rapper and those songs made the males even popular but didn't really establish the ladies career. These women were used to create a buzz around the male rapper

By the time Nicki was ready to sign she already knew how to sell herself. Missy too. That’s how women like that stay on.
