VIDEO: MY MIC SOUNDS NICE: A TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN AND HIP HOP

Sistertoldja just posted the tailer for My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women and Hip Hop and hopefully many of you caught it already. If not, you can watch right now. In hip hop today, there are so few female emcees prevailing. Aside from Nicki Minaj, there is a major lack of representation of the ladies in the genre–which has even resulted in many award shows eliminating the category all together. BET did an excellent job of interviewing industry veterans like MC Lyte and making the connection to new school artists. It’s informative from a historical perspective and highly entertaining.

Pop the hood for the remainder of the videos and shouts to Amelia for posting the links!

MY MIC SOUNDS NICE: A TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN IN HIP-HOP

A couple weeks ago, I attended a screening for BET’s first ever original music documentary, “My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women In Hip-Hop“. Directed by Ava DuVernay, the film takes a loving, yet critical look at the history of sisters in Rap music. It is equal parts celebration of pioneers and those carrying the torch and lamentation over the lack of estrogen in today’s Hip-Hop spaces.

Take a peek at the trailer:

Commentary is provided primarily by woman rappers, including MC Lyte, YoYo, Trina, Salt n’ Pepa, The Lady of Rage, Diamond, Eve, Missy, etc. Other heads weighing in include Kevin Lyles, Joan Morgan, Questlove, Glennisha Morgan of The Fembassy and Russell Simmons. I was really excited to hear the thoughts Jean Grae, Tiye Pheonix and a few other female rappers who aren’t as familiar to the BET audience (there is a great independent artist roll-call at the end as well).
