37. Megan Thee Stallion
Manage episode 354825113 series 3351428
In this episode we discuss the unapologetically pro-woman rapper, Megan Thee Stallion. We talk about how she got into rapping, her relationship with her record label, and the ways in which the media has judged her based on how she looks and the lyrics to her songs. Then we consider how men (especially those in positions of power in the music industry) have felt entitled to Megan’s fame and money and the even more nefarious practice of misogynoir in the music industry. Finally we share some of Megan’s achievements in her relatively short career (so far!).
Trigger warnings: Gun violence, racism
