Ladies First: Hip-Hop Heretics

Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj have traded angry barbs, tweets and verses for years. Azealia Banks has lashed out at both of them. Missy Elliott wishes she had a magic wand to make the ladies all get along. Women in hip-hop have continued feuding and fighting, clawing their way to the top in a field that seems to have space for only one queen at a time. Tonight, an eclectic crew from Philly’s hip-hop scene gathers for a lively discussion about the ever-evolving, ever-contentious world of women in hip-hop. The event is part of an ongoing Art Education Roots 101 series facilitated by the Mural Arts Program. Philly’s hip-hop royalty, the Roots, are working on a mural in South Philly celebrating the city’s vibrant musical culture; coinciding events will continue until the unveiling next year. -Allyn Gaestel
