The underdog story is extremely aspirational. The person who says whatever she wants when she wants is extremely aspirational and admirable.

tbh Cardi is 50 cent 2.0... the mixtapes to the album 50 where the ground swell was insane. w/o the BS bullyin though

We are talking about the mechanism for women to come through the system and blow. They talked above about Trap genre women.
There is no female counterpart to Chance the Rapper, XXX or even G Eazy, Logic. Look at those guys core fans. There is a LARGE % of women. Every female artist we mentioned that has blown has not done it through the indie space. Rapsody even mentioned on the breakfast club that her fanbase currently is 75-95% male. This is a huge issue because guys aren't going to be the ones to get her to the next level. Guys don't typically go solo (or in groups) to women rap shows, buy merch from women, buy albums at scale from women.
Why?
SZA was able to scale not only because the project and its subject matter was dope but because she retooled her entire image.. lost weight, glammed all the way up. She talked about things people could relate/conect to AND was bad a fuck doing it.
Thats what gets female fans to buy in at scale. And dudes could literally just show up in a white tee and fake chain and be good
