<h3 style="text-align: center;">The &#8220;Hottest Female Rappers&#8221; Thread</h3>
<p>It all began on Saturday when a user kicked off the thread, which boasts over 115,000 favorites and nearly 5,000 retweets.</p>
<p>The short list consists of 10 women who the user thinks are the &#8220;hottest&#8221; stars in the rap game. It kicked off with none other than beloved &#8220;Munch&#8221; rapper Ice Spice.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Twitter Dives Into The &#8220;Brown Paper Bag&#8221; Discussion</h3>
<p>While this mainstream list didn&#8217;t offer very many exciting surprises, it did spark a conversation surrounding why <em>these</em> artists were listed.</p>
<p>Specifically, users called out the list for largely being comprised of light-skinned Black women, which opened up a conversation on colorism and the ol&#8217; &#8220;brown paper bag.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Young Joc Spoke On The Future Of The Female Rap Scene</h3>
<p>While on the subject of women in hip hop, we should add that Young Joc recently shared his thoughts on the state of female rappers.</p>
<p>During an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk9FGjYKp68&;t=275s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>VladTV</em></a>, Joc made it a point to share his thoughts on what women in rap have to go through.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s just be for real: women don’t want to share, bro. And sometimes they don’t want to share the spotlight. Let&#8217;s just call it for what it is, and I understand. It’s already hard for women to find their place anyway.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>He went on to say that he foresees &#8220;bullyish&#8221; behavior leading to the downfall of some female rappers, as <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/yung-joc-thinks-bullyish-behavior-will-lead-to-downfall-of-female-rap-scene/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Shade Room</em></a> previously reported.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Even now, you got all these female rappers. Let&#8217;s give it another 180 days. Let’s give it to this time next year and let’s see if we got this many female rappers that’s buzzing. I bet you it won’t be, because a lot of them are gonna phase out.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>What do you think about the original Twitter thread, as well as the ensuing discussion it sparked online? Also, who would you include on your list of &#8220;hottest female rappers&#8221;?</p>
