'I want a range of self-possessed narratives and many more women.' JProfessor speaks with Tricia Rose and Gwendolyn D. Pough, in the latest installment of our series on Hip-Hop Feminism:
Tricia Rose and Gwendolyn D. Pough are both scholars renowned for her scholarship on hip-hop feminism. : I have an ambivalent relationship to hip-hop culture. I mean, hip-hop as a historical phenomenon is something I’ve always been really interested in. Early on, I was very curious about how it came to be and how it was being received and the way it participated in racial ideas and gendered ideas. So, my relationship to that is very question-oriented.
That’s why I wouldn’t say that it has improved, because improving would be diversification; not just pretty images, but not just upright respectability politics either. I want a range of self-possessed narratives andwomen. So, the narrowness of content, the few numbers of women involved, the fact that they are far more about what they look like than what they’re saying as artists, all of that feels pretty much the same to me.: Men don’t have to do that; they can do whatever they want.
: One thing I’ve been saying the last 15 years is that we can’t allow the record industries’ marketing tactics to dictate who we celebrate in terms of the latest artists, the latest songs. They should not drive our sense of critical engagement with our own culture. That would be like letting Hollywood decide what part of Toni Morrison’swe’re supposed to like.
