Something I really love about these videos is that they show how broad Hip Hop can be and peoples love for Hip Hop. These videos all had a common theme such as giving a lot of hope to people, and female artists. This video reminded me of how hard it has been for women to get recognized, and the achievements they make now is what gives hope to the next generations. I think that music in particular is something that definitely needs a lot of diversity in language, genre, culture, different artist genders, and races.

I really like how these videos talk about people who haven't really been recognized all that much, but made such a big impact on art and morale that now we hear about them through the telling of history, and how we can only hope they will be remembered for what they have done. Some people might say that what they do is insignificant and doesn't make any tangible change, but all change starts with motivation and the motivation that these artists have given to people to go out and change things in a more positive way is really amazing. It's also kind of surreal to think of how hip hop is such a big thing today, but it was put down so much when it first gained popularity, which makes me wonder what kind seemingly contradictory things this generation will bring about that will end up everywhere, even if people don't realize it.

something i really like and find interesting about these videos on women in hip-hop is the creativity and resilience that these female artist have especially in a male dominated industry, and the talent and determination they have, i also thought it was interesting to hear about their own personal stories beyond just music.

This video really reminds of success. That no matter who you are, where you are from, what you look like, as long as you put in the work and the time. You will succeed. Everyone is their own person and you shouldn't let anyone change who you are. You can influence the entire world with your music, or just you art in general. You have the power to change the world, change the game, and as long that you have the motivation and that confidence you can achieve whatever you want

Something I like about these videos is how they all show the different stages of the progression of womens prominence in hip-hop, first with the rap battle onto winning Grammys. Also it shows if you have determination and resilience you can make it to where you want to be.

Something I really like about these videos is that the rappers show that anything is possible and how you should never shy away from using your creativity and spreading your art and doing the things you love because it can get you far. This shows that anything is possible if you truly believe in your potential, being yourself, and in your drive to bring your art into existence. These videos remind me of anything in life that especially students struggle with like accomplishing goals and sharing ideas, it shows that you should do it and do it scared or afraid. It shows that perseverance and bravery can have great outcomes.

Something I really like about these videos is the determination and the pride people have when they talk about things like their origins, their hometown, their journey, like with Doechii and how amazed she was when she received her award. Those feelings can empower and inspire many, like other up-and-coming rap artists, or women that deal with sexism and unfair treatment in this day and age. These videos reminds me of many other stories that many others can share and connect to. There are a ton of examples of poverty and oppression from everyone in this day and age and when something so empowering is introduced, it helps all those other stories shine brighter.

Something that I like about these videos is how doechii won a Grammy award and how she spoke out about how only 3 woman were given this opportunity to receive this award. This connect me back to the first two previous videos that we watched talking about how woman weren't considered in the hip-hop world and how Roxanne's revenge was the big hits in the Bronx. It seems to me that woman have to work twice as hard especially black woman to prove themselves to men in order to be included and accepted into something like this.

A common theme in these two videos is how though out the history of hip hop women have been left out. Men are seen as responsible for everything hip hop even though many women have also been apart of it. Something i really like about these videos is how it empowers women in rap and hip hop. The first rap battle was done by a 14 year old girl in queens, and recently Doechii was the third woman to win a Grammy for best rap album. These show that in past or in present women are just as influential as men in the hip hop industry.

Something I like about these videos is the clear path they show from the very beginnings of hip-hop in the Bronx, to the first commercially successful female rapper during the early 80's and finally to the recent success of Doechii being the third Woman in the history of the rap album of the year categories to win a Grammy. I like this because i think it shows an interesting area of hip-hop that is often not mentioned and overlooked in the founders and many of the woman artist that have influenced the genre along the way. It also shows that there is still large room for improvement in how woman hip-hop artist are viewed and treated in the industry.

These videos remind me that all people can achieve greatness. The women in these videos pushing the norm. The women powered through the barriers, and they changed the world's outlook on them. Seeing powerful women disrupt fields generally dominated by men can inspire other women to do the same. I think that it is a good idea to support everyone who tries their best to be good at what they do. The videos really highlight the way that women can do whatever they want better than what others might believe.

I found that rap has been a really big part of people expressing their frustrations, feelings, and thoughts. These videos show the beginnings of one of the biggest genres of music and how it has changed and evolved from then up to how it is now.

Something i like is the impact they had and something i find interesting about these videos on women hip-hop is the resilience that they have another thing i find interesting is their story.

Something I liked about all the videos was how it kind of felt like a timeline. It started with men dominating the rap scene in the first video. In the next it talked about how women were starting to get known in the rap industry. In the final video it showed how far black women came in the rap industry, by showing a women winning a award that has only been won by a women 3 times.

Something that I really about these videos is how it shows how much love people really have for Hip Hop. These videos have a common theme of lots of hope. I would say rap is a big part of people expressing themselves with one of the biggest genres of music.

Something I really like about these videos is how they talk about people who haven't been recognized, for example when Doechii won a Grammy award and spoke out about how only 3 woman were given this opportunity to receive this award. This ties back to the first two videos that we watched about how woman weren't considered in the hip-hop world. I also like how the videos bring to light on how woman have to work twice as hard, and especially black woman in just to prove themselves to the world in order to be included and accepted into the hip-hop world.

Something I love about these videos is that the pride these people have in their heart and how they show it to the people around them and their passion for the music they make and how they inspire other people to never give up and just keep following their dreams. When it comes to hip pop many people would probably start to think of Male singers because men apparently look like a fit for it. But it really doesn't have a gender to it and it is for everyone. Hip hop and rap is a way people can connect together, Hip pop and rap is a way for other people to get their story out there. This shows a different side of Hip hop and rap that is not viewed as much and the women's that are in the industry show people the journey and their side of view and how they get processed in the industry.

Something i liked about these videos is how they would talk about the people in Hip Hop as excluding woman than the entire genre in general. I also liked how they gave an award to a woman in that one video i had seen that clip circulating around but there was no context to it, I'm glad it was a video about girls achieving goals in the Hip Hop industry.

Something I really liked about the video was how people were happy to see a black woman in success. A common theme in the video is that the respect they give to one another and how they all seemed so happy, And the fact that they are all strong, beautiful black women that are making changes and inspiring younger girls. These videos remind me of how people can uplift one another and that all of it isn't bad. These videos bring up the following questions for me how do they they feel when they hear their name getting called?, and how does the person winning the award affect the viewers and younger audience?

Something these videos remind me of is success, both these great videos show how doechii worked and the other two woman worked very hard to get where they are right now and very proud to have been some of the few woman to have won a Grammy. Something i liked about this video is that it shows where hip hop started and where it is now and who it was like a timeline i liked how it showed this genera was basically a male dominated subject but now in the world there is so many woman who are coming in and winning.
