<p>After <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/twitter-speculates-that-tinashe-was-the-blueprint-for-saweetie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saweetie</a> tried to make a point about the rap game, Twitter slammed her with accusations of acting brand new.</p>
<p>It all unfolded on Tuesday night when Saweetie expressed some thoughts she had about &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/Saweetie/status/1595277265306198018?s=20&;t=bdl8te24XPWH12nYAsaKHQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hip hop culture</a>&#8221; on the platform.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Is misogynistic behavior normal for HIP HOP culture now?&#8221; she inquired. &#8220;Guess so.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Twitter Accuses Saweetie Of Being Unversed In Hip Hop History</h3>
<p>Once Saweetie penned this tweet, the internet had a field day calling her out.</p>
<p>The bulk of the backlash was centered around her including the word &#8220;now,&#8221; which suggests that misogyny in rap hasn&#8217;t already been around for decades.</p>

<p>The replies and quote tweets were memes galore as people threw shade at Saweetie.</p>

<p>Others attempted to call Saweetie out and acknowledge that she&#8217;s sampled tracks—like &#8220;Blow The Whistle&#8221; by Too $hort— that could be seen as misogynistic.</p>

<p>Some even accused her of only engaging in the conversation to gain traction for her new project, <em>THE SINGLE LIFE</em>.</p>

<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1595480822903193609" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>The backlash included individuals saying that Saweetie herself contributes to and benefits from the matter.</p>

<p>We should note that Joan Morgan, the OG &#8220;hip hop feminist&#8221; who wrote <em>When Chicken Heads Come Home to Roost</em>, was also brought up.</p>

<p>All in all, though, people&#8217;s annoyed reactions dominated the conversation.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Was Saweetie Responding To Joe Budden?</h3>
<p>While Saweetie hasn&#8217;t further spoken on her tweet, we should add that it came a few hours after she seemingly called Joe Budden out on Twitter.</p>
<p>It started when a clip surfaced of Joe bashing Saweetie on the heels of her EP release.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not listening to Saweetie until she answers the question everybody waiting for the answer: Did you f**k Offset or not?&#8221; Joe declared. &#8220;It ain&#8217;t the time for your freestyle&#8230;Push it back. You been quiet. No need to come shake the table now. And did you f**k dude or not? If you gon&#8217; tell it, then tell it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1594484477971075072" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>Eventually, she addressed his comments on Twitter.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Saweetie needs to STFU????? ok joelisha.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Saweetie Speaks On &#8220;Violence &; Disrespect In Male Music&#8221;</h3>
<p>Moving on from her Twitter situation, we should also add that Saweetie further commented on the rap game during a new episode of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCr7Ke_etYo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Bootleg Kev Podcast</em></a>.</p>
<p>She specifically shared her belief that, due to some of the messages within &#8220;male music,&#8221; female rappers are taking over.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;L.A. and other cities, it just goes to show that this is the reason why women is running rap and hip hop. Because there&#8217;s just so much violence and disrespect in the male music&#8230;</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 14px;">I feel like we gotta raise the vibration with the music and get back to having a good time.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>She went on to add that there&#8217;s a lack of &#8220;empathy and love&#8221; in a lot of modern rap songs.</p>
