Identifying Foundations of Hip-Hop Feminism and Exploring Bridges between Black Second-Wave and Hip-Hop Feminisms

چکیده
This essay seeks to explore the sociopolitical objectives of hip-hop feminism, to address the generational ruptures that those very objectives reveal, and to explore the practical and theoretical qualities that secondand third-wave generations of black feminists have in common. Ultimately, the goal of this essay is to clearly understand the sociopolitical platform of hip-hop feminists and how that platform both impacts and figures into the history and future of black American feminist thought. I have titled this essay “Under Construction” after the fourth album, of the same name, by rapper Missy Elliot. Elliot begins the album by explaining that “under construction” signifies that she is still “working” on herself. Additionally, it represents Elliot’s project of taking hip-hop back to “the rope” or to the beginning when it was about the music. As Elliot says in the introduction to her album, my album which is titled under construction, under construction simply states that I’m a work in progress I’m working on myself. . . . We all under construction trying to rebuild, you know, ourselves. Hip-hop
