The whole room erupts with joy, and everyone chants the lyrics: “I’m sicker than SARS / higher than Mars.” Then the beat stops and the crowd screams: “And I treat my bitch like an ATM card!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s power in this ritual, which has been a mainstay at local clubs and house parties since Mac Dre’s hyphy anthem came out in 2004.

Some of the region’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13924126/the-bay-area-was-hip-hop-before-there-was-hip-hop\">earliest rappers based their personas on blaxploitation films\u003c/a> like 1973’s \u003cem>The Mack\u003c/em>, which was shot in Oakland and featured real-life pimps and sex workers.

Across three episodes, the three hosts facilitate candid discussions about the disproportionate rates of violence Black women face, and how systemic racism and wealth inequality breed desperate conditions where pimp culture thrives. They also get deep, drawing from their personal experiences of moving through an Oakland rap scene that at times espouses both misogynistic and revolutionary ideals.

Ignoring this reality risks harming some of the most marginalized people in the Bay Area. I’m talking about poor folks, and about Black, brown and Indigenous women, in addition to LGBTQ people.

The whole room erupts with joy, and everyone chants the lyrics: “I’m sicker than SARS / higher than Mars.” Then the beat stops and the crowd screams: “And I treat my bitch like an ATM card!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s power in this ritual, which has been a mainstay at local clubs and house parties since Mac Dre’s hyphy anthem came out in 2004.

Some of the region’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13924126/the-bay-area-was-hip-hop-before-there-was-hip-hop\">earliest rappers based their personas on blaxploitation films\u003c/a> like 1973’s \u003cem>The Mack\u003c/em>, which was shot in Oakland and featured real-life pimps and sex workers.

They’re inquisitive at the moment, which means I have just minutes to grab their attention before they zone out. Oh, and by the way, they’re incarcerated in the high-security unit at San Francisco Juvenile Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So feminism is…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I trail off. The white, male teacher assigned to leading discussions for Women’s History Month eyes me. I’m nervous he’ll interrupt again, launching into a mansplanation about why the unit should care about the girls in their community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know it’s sometimes hard for y’all to understand feminism because y’all go through so much,” I continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true. Most of them sleep on concrete beds each night. They’re at a pivotal age, a time when they’re in desperate need of positive direction. Unfortunately, they’re locked up instead. And they’re inundated with notions of toxic masculinity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t help that most of the rap music they love reinforces the idea that women are objects. Sometimes they waste sharp wits cooking up ways to exploit young women in their lives. I remember one boy telling me: “I can’t wait to have a wife so she can pay for all my shit.” I guess that Mac Dre line — “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vE6oUc0t4o\">I treat my bitch like an ATM card\u003c/a>” — already got to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat this messaging, I handpick rap bars for our creative writing lessons. 2pac’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/Mb1ZvUDvLDY\">Dear Mama\u003c/a>” is essentially an epistolary poem, and “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/vYJCT8EqbtU\">Birds Eye View\u003c/a>” by Zion I is a great example of personification. But how am I supposed to compete with the allure of patriarchy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I clear my throat and keep talking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Y’all probably heard about the #MeToo movement, right? Well, I met \u003ca href=\"https://www.taranaburke.com/\">Tarana Burke\u003c/a>. She’s the founder of the movement. She told me #MeToo isn’t a women’s movement, it’s a survivors’ movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To my delight, some of my students nod. Furrowed brows begin to soften, and empathy permeates the room. It makes sense. Almost \u003ca href=\"https://kidsimprisoned.news21.com/foster-care-kids-juvenile-justice-system/\">60% of incarcerated youth\u003c/a> have been through the foster care system. And, according to one Johns Hopkins University study, foster youth are \u003ca href=\"https://www.focusforhealth.org/sex-abuse-and-the-foster-care-system/\">four times as likely to experience sexual abuse\u003c/a> as their peers. I wasn’t merely standing in front of a group of teenage boys. I was standing with fellow survivors.

And now, the culture has grown up. In light of its 50th anniversary, isn’t it time we seriously examine hip-hop’s contradictions? If Bay Area hip-hop is “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13923938/thats-my-word-intro\">the product of pimps and hustlers just as much as activists and intellectuals\u003c/a>,” how do we uplift its innovative potential while holding space to look at all the ways it falls short?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout my decade-plus of experience as an educator, MC and community organizer, I’ve seen firsthand how hip-hop’s glorification of pimp culture harms people of all genders. Pimping obviously predates hip-hop. But that doesn’t mean we should normalize antiquated ideas about gender, or push played-out power dynamics. We can sugarcoat the truth, but at its root, pimp culture is about exploitation. Ignoring this reality risks harming some of the most marginalized people in the Bay Area. I’m talking about poor folks, and about Black, brown and Indigenous women, in addition to LGBTQ people. I promise you, they’re already paying the ultimate price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my poetry classes in juve, the poem “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou was a favorite, especially among incarcerated girls. Something about rising “like dust” against all odds resonated with them. Still I Rise is also the name of a recent creative collaboration among myself and the Bay Area-rooted rappers \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13890558/with-labor-ryannicole-uplifts-black-womens-invisible-work\">RyanNicole\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13915289/hip-hop-songs-lyrics-abortion\">Coco Peila\u003c/a>.

I saw this as a young rapper growing up in Seattle, when I had Andre Nickatina’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/Ad4Bx8QCKSU\">Jungle\u003c/a>” on repeat. There was something wildly unique about his sound. He was nerdy — referencing \u003ci>Alice in Wonderland\u003c/i> and \u003ci>Star Wars\u003c/i> in his rhymes — yet dangerous. I could relate. Other Bay Area rappers shared my desire to use the music for revolutionary change. I sang along to Mystic’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/GoK01XY52Uc\">The Life\u003c/a>” because it captured my passion to alleviate suffering. Bay Area hip-hop influenced my decision to move to Oakland in my early 20s, over a decade ago. It’s as multifaceted as the streets where it originates. [aside postid='arts_13931108' hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Episode-2-Youtube-Thumbnail.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conversations we’re having in \u003ci>What’s Pimpin’?\u003c/i> are challenging because critiquing Bay Area hip-hop can feel like airing out dirty laundry. The Bay Area often gets overlooked in the music industry despite its outsized influence. Since the \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/podcasts/slow-burn/s3/biggie-and-tupac/e4/c-delores-tucker-against-hip-hop\">gangsta rap moral panic\u003c/a> of the early ’90s, white \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/a249c215c523dbd528710412cb91b193\">politicians\u003c/a>, pundits and other outsiders have bolstered their careers by vilifying hip-hop. And our racist criminal justice system has used \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/black-rappers-call-double-standard-using-hip-hop-lyrics-evidence-rappe-rcna65529\">rap lyrics to put people behind bars\u003c/a>. Fans are rightfully protective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as hip-hop artists who believe in gender equality, we want to push the culture forward. We want to separate hip-hop culture from pimp culture, which mirrors the exploitation and domination of colonialism, slavery and racial capitalism — it didn’t start in 1973 with the movie \u003ci>The Mack\u003c/i> and didn’t end the day Too Short got a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13922548/too-short-way-oakland-street-renamed\">street named after him\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13930868\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13930868\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/SIR-artists-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Three young Black female MCs pose together wearing black.

My love for the men in my community motivates me to hold them accountable instead of coddling harmful behavior. My love has inspired me to spend almost a decade uplifting youth trapped in jail cells. My love isn’t about censorship — it’s about owning up to what’s being said.

They’re at a pivotal age, a time when they’re in desperate need of positive direction. Unfortunately, they’re locked up instead. And they’re inundated with notions of toxic masculinity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t help that most of the rap music they love reinforces the idea that women are objects. Sometimes they waste sharp wits cooking up ways to exploit young women in their lives. I remember one boy telling me: “I can’t wait to have a wife so she can pay for all my shit.” I guess that Mac Dre line — “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vE6oUc0t4o\">I treat my bitch like an ATM card\u003c/a>” — already got to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat this messaging, I handpick rap bars for our creative writing lessons. 2pac’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/Mb1ZvUDvLDY\">Dear Mama\u003c/a>” is essentially an epistolary poem, and “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/vYJCT8EqbtU\">Birds Eye View\u003c/a>” by Zion I is a great example of personification.

She told me #MeToo isn’t a women’s movement, it’s a survivors’ movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To my delight, some of my students nod. Furrowed brows begin to soften, and empathy permeates the room. It makes sense. Almost \u003ca href=\"https://kidsimprisoned.news21.com/foster-care-kids-juvenile-justice-system/\">60% of incarcerated youth\u003c/a> have been through the foster care system. And, according to one Johns Hopkins University study, foster youth are \u003ca href=\"https://www.focusforhealth.org/sex-abuse-and-the-foster-care-system/\">four times as likely to experience sexual abuse\u003c/a> as their peers.

In light of its 50th anniversary, isn’t it time we seriously examine hip-hop’s contradictions? If Bay Area hip-hop is “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13923938/thats-my-word-intro\">the product of pimps and hustlers just as much as activists and intellectuals\u003c/a>,” how do we uplift its innovative potential while holding space to look at all the ways it falls short?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout my decade-plus of experience as an educator, MC and community organizer, I’ve seen firsthand how hip-hop’s glorification of pimp culture harms people of all genders. Pimping obviously predates hip-hop. But that doesn’t mean we should normalize antiquated ideas about gender, or push played-out power dynamics. We can sugarcoat the truth, but at its root, pimp culture is about exploitation. Ignoring this reality risks harming some of the most marginalized people in the Bay Area. I’m talking about poor folks, and about Black, brown and Indigenous women, in addition to LGBTQ people. I promise you, they’re already paying the ultimate price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my poetry classes in juve, the poem “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou was a favorite, especially among incarcerated girls. Something about rising “like dust” against all odds resonated with them. Still I Rise is also the name of a recent creative collaboration among myself and the Bay Area-rooted rappers \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13890558/with-labor-ryannicole-uplifts-black-womens-invisible-work\">RyanNicole\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13915289/hip-hop-songs-lyrics-abortion\">Coco Peila\u003c/a>.

I saw this as a young rapper growing up in Seattle, when I had Andre Nickatina’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/Ad4Bx8QCKSU\">Jungle\u003c/a>” on repeat. There was something wildly unique about his sound. He was nerdy — referencing \u003ci>Alice in Wonderland\u003c/i> and \u003ci>Star Wars\u003c/i> in his rhymes — yet dangerous. I could relate. Other Bay Area rappers shared my desire to use the music for revolutionary change. I sang along to Mystic’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/GoK01XY52Uc\">The Life\u003c/a>” because it captured my passion to alleviate suffering. Bay Area hip-hop influenced my decision to move to Oakland in my early 20s, over a decade ago. It’s as multifaceted as the streets where it originates. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Bay Area often gets overlooked in the music industry despite its outsized influence. Since the \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/podcasts/slow-burn/s3/biggie-and-tupac/e4/c-delores-tucker-against-hip-hop\">gangsta rap moral panic\u003c/a> of the early ’90s, white \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/a249c215c523dbd528710412cb91b193\">politicians\u003c/a>, pundits and other outsiders have bolstered their careers by vilifying hip-hop. And our racist criminal justice system has used \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/black-rappers-call-double-standard-using-hip-hop-lyrics-evidence-rappe-rcna65529\">rap lyrics to put people behind bars\u003c/a>. Fans are rightfully protective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as hip-hop artists who believe in gender equality, we want to push the culture forward. We want to separate hip-hop culture from pimp culture, which mirrors the exploitation and domination of colonialism, slavery and racial capitalism — it didn’t start in 1973 with the movie \u003ci>The Mack\u003c/i> and didn’t end the day Too Short got a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13922548/too-short-way-oakland-street-renamed\">street named after him\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13930868\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13930868\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/SIR-artists-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Three young Black female MCs pose together wearing black.

A 2011 study tracking a two-year period showed that \u003ca href=\"https://rights4girls.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Racial-Disparties-FactSheet-_Jan-2021.pdf\">94% of U.S. sex-trafficking victims were female\u003c/a>. Of those victims, 40% were Black and 24% were Latinx. Meanwhile, buyers are overwhelmingly white men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protecting Black women and girls is particularly difficult because they’re less likely to be reported missing. According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2023/council-unanimously-votes-in-favor-of-councilmember-reids-resolution-supporting-the-establishment-of-a-statewide-ebony-alert-to-help-locate-missing-black-women-and-girls\">May statement from Oakland City Councilmember Treva Reid\u003c/a>, of the 1,500 missing-persons cases in Oakland this year, 400 of them are Black women.

My love for the men in my community motivates me to hold them accountable instead of coddling harmful behavior. My love has inspired me to spend almost a decade uplifting youth trapped in jail cells. My love isn’t about censorship — it’s about owning up to what’s being said. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
