word man this exactly, its all about the flow of conversation, if she can keep up then by all means join in. big point on guys bigging up their favorite rapper. we’ll pull fuckin quotes, anecdotes and statistics to prove our point. a girl just can’t follow along, but most importantly, its becuz she doesnt hold hip hip to the same importance that we do.

Man without women my music taste would be all messed up. Women listen to the song, and less of the hype, than all of us guys put together.

Women are about the sentiment, while we’re all on about the technique

The majority of friends are guys and we all have mad passion for hip hop. They’re always surprised when I join in the conversation cuz usually I just sit back with a J and listen to what’s going on, so when I actually do join in they’re a little weird about it, especially when I know what I’m talking about. I was around these cats every day and they still got all surprised when I knew my stuff. I loved the shock I got when I opened my mouth and spoke some of the same stuff the others were thinking but couldn’t verbalize. Although I did notice some of ‘em came with the attitude that cuz I’m a female I don’t know anything about the hiphop scene and just liked to shake my ass. And yeah, I like to get down and dance but my love and passion for the music goes way deeper than that. I moved to Texas from California about 4 months ago and it’s SO hard to find heads out here. But when I do meet someone who listens to the same style music I enjoy it’s a great feeling. What better way to spend the day than smoking a J while having an in depth and intellingent conversation on different styles and new things happening in the scene with a dude you just met?

Blogs don’t have “nerds”, numbnuts. Real nerds are what make your miserable everyday life easier. Why not stop using software in general, completely boycotting it?

I have to disagree with Tara on the whole music nerd, disrespecting women tip. I remember chicks I knew that would sing the verses to that Snoop track “It Ain’t No Fun”, which totally disrespects women. When I asked them why they would sing along, they would just say the song wasn’t about them. I had to agree with their logic because they are right. I talked about hip hop with shorties all the time and they knew all the hot topics. Maybe some shorties feel disrespected and left out, but there are many chicks that don’t feel that way at all.

once again, she speaketh the truth. thank-you tara for not only speaking the truth, but not shitting on someone’s dream when she does speak the truth. that’s one thing the heads have to remember, they get all passionate about their POVs and it’s cool to be passionate, but that forceful shit didn’t work in the residential schools, and it didn’t work during the crusades. trying to force your beliefs on someone and raking them over the coals for feeling someone you don’t, then turning around and saying that she must not know what they’re talking about, or that she doesn’t know anything about hip hop because of age/background/hair colour/what set of genitalia she has is a real conversation killer. if these freakin’ hip hop nerds really want to discuss, ie. listen(which is what you do in between running your fucking mouth)as well as pontificate , learn how to talk to people and refrain from tearing someone a new asshole just because they happen to see the merits of kanye west.

u did hit the nail on the head,another thing i find, is that if u do show a true historical knowledge of hiphop, dudes kinda think ur a tomboy, when ur perhaps aren’t shit’s annoying man.

I have been going to hip hop shows and been involved in “the culture” for about 11 years, which is nothing compared to a lot of the musicians i listen to. I stopped looking for a man at shows when i was about 16 because every single dude came off as ignorant. I DJ and to this day go into record stores where i’ve been a familiar face for 5 years. If some of the employees are having a discussion about the beef between jay and cam, and i try ot enter in, the conversation stops. whether its because they’re shocked at having a woman actually be aware of, or have an opinion about (god forbid!) something going on in the hip hop world, or just a stupid male i-don’t-know-how-to-talk-to-an-intelligent-female thing, i don’t know, and honestly I don’t give a shit anymore. you can blame this shit on whoever you want, whether its women, men, rappers, gangsters, bloggers, it doesn’t matter and its a waste of time. the point is not to blame anyone. the point is to try to create a more inclusive evironment, without sacrificing the character of hip hop.

I’m a (cute) female who loves hip hop. Not just radio, but underground. Men are always surprised at my love for hip hop, and it gets old proving yourself time after time. So, for the most part, I just lurk in the background of hip hop sites. I love every minute of it.

first off.. she was right about the “First” thing (which we saw here again) Shes completley right about females. i know ONE woman into hip-hop as far as underground circuits, freestyles and such goes, Her knowledge is menacing, almost to the point of mine (but that could be the male ego setting in)

you people speak 4 you’r selves,i aint no damn nerd!
i just love and respect the culture.as far as offending female heads,i’d like to just come across one.i dont ever see any, much less get the chance to debate with them.
i’ve dated alot of girls but if i ever met a female head that was fine
and knew the culture.i swear i’d be faithful to her ass because girls like that are so hard to find.

ahh for real!

i made a post about this on my own blog the other day. i met my ex because he was so into the fact that i was a head, and we had those ill conversations. he never played that “i know more than you” bs that so many dudes try and play. almost every other head i know out there is on some “i know more than you” steez and it’s wack because i’m not competitive like that. i just wanna build.

for all the talk about guys wanting to meet female heads, you sure are willing to hit anythign that walks by. i think it’s more important (and more difficult) for girls to find someone who they connect with on that level (i love dem music nerds too!).

at the end of the day, guys still think of us as just ‘girls’, even if we are friends with them. the competition and indifference of these dudes (hey not all of you!) means that if you’re a female head, you need to have some patience. and maybe most girls just don’t wanna deal with that.
