Where My Girls At? “Woman in Hip-Hop”

Wizdom

Throughout the development of hip-hop, ladies have lacked the recognition necessary to aid in acknowledging their presence in this growing culture. Women have been pivotal-and just as influential-since hip-hop’s formative years.

However, the industry in which hip hop is housed, offers little to no space for women to evolve and stand equally in the spotlight with their male counter-parts. It is quite an embarrassment to consider how women are portrayed as these one-dimensional, untalented, “show pieces;” when in fact, women are seldom credited for their persistence, intelligence and versatility when it comes to demonstrating any skills within this hip hop phenomenon.

It is known as a street language. It had bad connotations because it was associated to gang slang. But in reality Con Safos was used by graffiti writers, taggers who left messages on walls. So when someone wanted their artwork or message left up they would type C/S (Con Safos) at the end of their message like this:

International Underground “The African scene compared to United States scene”

Wizdom

The Hip-Hop culture is not just what you see and hear in the place you live. It stretches beyond the next city, town and even state. It’s present in all countries across the globe. It is Hip-Hop ( or music in general), that connects different people in a great way; greater then one may think. As a fan of Hip Hop, I immediately began comparing the Hip Hop culture in the United States with the Hip Hop culture in my home country; South Africa.

I’ve come across people in the United States asking me if people in South Africa know about American mainstream/commercial Hip-Hop artists. My first response (after shock), is to tell them that Hip-Hop fans in South Africa fall in to two categories: people who love the music and only care about the commercial artists (mainly American artists), and the second group of people who care about all the elements that make up the Hip-Hop culture. The latter are the people who are fans of underground Hip-Hop artists from any part of the world. Of cause like with anywhere else in the world, people sometimes aren’t in any “category” and just love Hip-Hop.
