Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the representativeness of black women and the issues of gender and sexuality involved in the Hip-Hop industry, with a cut in the music scene with rap. Deliberate the importance of the rapper women of and the contemporary dilemmas of the black woman and her trajectory, both in the adressed musical scenario, as well as in the social one, and, even her difficult fight for her rights in society, in favor of overcoming the racial and gender inequalities; since the historical context on race, class, ethnicity, among others, are categories that act on the notion of gender, and, therefore, that definition is not separated from the politics of power and the cultural context.
