An illustrated highlight reel of more than 100 women in rap who have helped shape the genre and eschewed gender norms in the process, The Motherlode shines a bright light on a history of overlooked female talent and breaks down the ingenuity of our current generation of stars (Issa Rae, creator and star of HBOs Insecure).Clover Hopes comprehensive history showcases more than 100 women who have shaped the power, scope, and reach of rap music, including pioneers like Roxanne Shant, game changers like Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott, and current reigning queens like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Lizzoas well as everyone who came before, after, and in between.Some of these women were respected but not widely celebrated. Some are impossible not to know. Some of these women have stood on their own; others were forced into templates, compelled to stand beside men in big rap crews. Some have been trapped in a strange critical space between respected MC and object. They are characters, caricatures, lyricists, at times both feminine and explicit. The Motherlode profiles each of these women, their musical and career breakthroughs, and the ways in which they each helped change the culture of rap.Illustrations by Rachelle BakerThis book is achingly overdue. Women in hiphop, as musicians, journalists, and executives, have always dealt with a staggering and sobering truth. Hiphop, which we love and hold dear, does not always love us back. With The Motherlode, Clover Hope loves on us. She peels back the layersthe joy and painand makes sure our untold stories are now told and retold. Aliya S. King, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Keep the Faith
