Netflix docuseries Ladies First: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop reveals the grotesque nature of misogynoir in hip-hop and how it impacts the Black women who champion the genre. But moving forward, are we in a new 'ladies first' era of hip-hop?
Minaj’s absence, along with Missy Elliott’s, was supplemented with expert interviews about the impact of their careers in hip-hop. At the time of the documentary’s filming, rappers like Sexyy Red were not even a part of the cultural zeitgeist. “Because we are evolving at such a fast pace, because we have technology. There's no possible way for these big institutions in particular to put out something this robust that's gonna be current,” said Gates.
No one would have been able to predict that the timing of the Netflix docuseries would coincide with the sentencing of Tory Lanez, or that Dee Barnes and Drew Dixon would be thrust back into the spotlight they deserve. That’s the thing about hip-hop. It’s constantly reminding us of the past, in order to move the culture forward.
“What’s happening right now is that it’s going to be a truly ladies first era,” says Iandoli. Today’s hip-hop landscape is ushering in a new era where men are present, but women are at the forefront. We are now in a moment whereare vindicated. We’re finally seeing a shift from the male-centered mindset that dominated hip-hop for the past fifty years, but the overwhelming amount of women rappers does not overshadow the ways in which men are still very much in control of the genre.
Hip-hop should be a place where Dee Barnes and Drew Dixon do not feel alone when trolls attempt to berate them on the Internet. A click on the #LadiesFirst hashtag will reveal sentiments of support towards the two from admirers and fans across social media. The “Ladies First” generation is different.
“I think what's possible now is like this amazing dichotomy between the generations in hip-hop in a way we've never seen,” says Gates. “Whether it's like younger stylists working with Misa [Hylton] and or June [Ambrose]. Brooklyn White doing a project with Joan Morgan or dream hampton. That's what I need.”attempts to reorient the contributions of the women hip-hop pushed to the sidelines, in order to make a way for their future.
