How Black Women Combat Pimp Culture in Hip-Hop | What’s Pimpin’? Ep. 1

2023-07-05T21:29:15.118Z

Many of the Bay Area’s beloved ’90s and 2000s hip-hop anthems — including Mac Dre’s “Feelin’ Myself,” Dru Down’s “Pimp of the Year” and D-Lo’s “No Hoe” — contain casual references to violence against and exploitation of women.

More about What’s Pimpin’?, KQED’s new vodcast:
Women rappers and activists Maddy Clifford (a.k.a. @MADlines), Coco Peila (@CocoPeila) and RyanNicole (@MzRyanNicole) — known together as Still I Rise — are taking back the mic. Across three episodes, the hosts facilitate candid discussions about misogynoir and the disproportionate rates of violence Black women face, and examine how systemic racism and wealth inequality breed desperate conditions where pimp culture thrives.

Alchemist got his start as the teenaged sidekick to Cypress Hill and the Soul Assassins.

In the 25 years since Al has continued to develop as a musician, embracing new generations and new styles, while also reinventing his business model from the typical front half advance + pub and writing backend to a more Direct-To-Consumer model. And as a result of this conscious shift in economics, he has more latitude than ever with his craft.
