【 摘 要 】

This project examines how female Hip Hop and Rap artists have constructed gender from the late 1970s to the present with an exploration of how female Hip Hop and Rap artists in the United States are influenced by and have influenced pop culture and social norms. Through a case analysis of the music and public personae of Nicki Minaj and Young M.A., this project focuses on how female Hip Hop and Rap artists perform gender in their clothing style, lyricism, and other behaviors and in their music. Overall, by examining how gender is performed by female artists over time, this document will provide insight into how both Hip Hop and Rap music have been catalysts for empowering women and changing social norms around gender. This analysis also shows that there is room for progress in gender equality and a need to continue breaking down embedded misogyny in Hip Hop and Rap music.
