Can't Beat Them, Join Them

Not only are the male rappers in the down grading women action but female artist as well.  Female rappers are taking the roll of trying to act like a male in their music by talking bad about woman. As we take a look at female rapper Honey Cocaine from rapper Tyga’s group “Last Kings”, she fluently raps about women being “bitches”. In her song, “Heisman” the collaboration with Tyga, follow on in saying some things like, "fuck you, pay me's what I told the bitch, you can't walk or talk, I own you bitch." This makes the hip hop artist sound like a man, considering that woman is what they usually rap about.

History repeats itself.

It is ironic that women disrespect women as well, because there was a time where women fought for equality and fought for respect from men. Woman fought for their rights for the reason that they no longer wanted to be the inferior sex, but rather prove to society that they are capable of being more than just an object in a mans life. But throughout history, women have gained that respect by taking a male’s task in the working business and their own success. Although they have gained that respect, the respect has short lived. Instead of male rappers exploiting women, some female rappers are now contributing to the disrespect phenomenon. In order to be successful in rap, the women have to take that roll as a man too. Women are exploiting their own sex. Female hip-hop artist Nicki Minaj, has a big influence too in rapping about "bitches" and "hoes". She entered the male dominated hip-hop game and only to take on the music the same way males do.

Some of her lyrics on her single "Did it on em'", mentions how she does not like "bitches" and they do not mean anything to her.
