Rapsody Keeps it Real on Navigating the Hip Hop Industry as a Woman

Rapper Rapsody joined Jemele to discuss her critically acclaimed album, “Eve,” which was an ode to some of the most influential and creative Black women of our time.
Rapsody shares why she decided to create a rap album dedicated entirely to Black women, and why she named her upcoming tour, “A Black Woman Created This.” Rapsody also discusses her relationship with respected producer 9th Wonder, clamoring for respect in a male-dominated industry, and what it meant to get a huge co-sign from megastar Cardi B.

Rapsody !!!! This episode was everything!!

[@JAldenSmith]

Eve is the best album, not just hip-hop, that I've heard in the last 5 years! Rapsody should have been nominated that year, damn shame!

[@aninduvialwithagoodheart]

Always loved Rhap, she is a very deep thinker and it presents itself when she performs.
She is the true of essence of proving you can be Dope and still keep yourself covered.

[@Sheraytv]

Exactly

Big shout out to Rap for knowing that there is a huge South African fanbase that rocks with her

Why does Rapsody mention every female rapper but Nicki Minaj who still doin it big?

[@kuhlevelaphi6441]

She don't recognize her like that - simple. In one of her interviews, she once did if I am not mistaken

[@Tyson-k1r]

@@kuhlevelaphi6441 its very interesting she named the 2nd tier female rappers but not nicki

[@belladonna5904]

​@@Tyson-k1rbec Nicki is bubblegum pop and her raps are nursery rhymes.

[@Tyson-k1r]

@@belladonna5904 She could be jealous of Nicki's sucess also

[@johnnierock1090]

I have heard the whole “we don’t want to pay for the glam squad” argument for not signing female rappers and starting tours. I think it’s all a crock. So many dope females out there of various styles. Rapsody is ridiculously underrated she is definitely carrying the torch from Lyte, Queen La, Bahamadia etc… she cut from a different cloth. The late 80’s and the early 90’s had a array of ladies.

[@elliotselmon7581]

DOPENESS!! ❤️💕❤️

[@deekyevans5235]

Great interview. Is it from back in time?

[@allthingso9726]

That’s what I want to know. These interviews seem to be from years ago but they are just being aired.
