you can put her in stripper culture, or Bronx culture, or black twitter culture, or white meme culture, or zoo animal, or free spirit, or so on so on so on depending on what world view you bring to her performance.


so some will argue she is so unique, but that's a willful ignorance of Rosie Perez, or even fucking Lil' Mama.


people like that they can project onto her.


so part of what I struggle with w/r/t the culture critic discourse about her (granted, most of these people are white, still) is that all of those things make her unique, rather than just the latest fetish.

and I don't want to write her off, either. I just currently find her entertaining but for no real reason, and I'm tired of an article or headline that argues she's universal. Ain't no universal anymore.

To your point though, "Bodak Yellow" was for women way before men, and IMO that's not necessarily a first but a rarity for women rapping.
