But Uzoy, little teeny-tiny Uzoy, is on the road without a lane. She's simply a rapper who raps about things in a very rapperly way. She raps like a man, but doesn't try to sound like one, which is usually something that turns a lot of people away from female rappers. Matter of fact, minus the intro to one song and two ironic skits, she spends most of the album avoiding the subject altogether.
She casually drops the word "nigga" - far more difficult for a woman than you'd assume - never sounds excessively preachy (another thing that turns most guys away from girl rappers) and asked for features from guys on only five of the tape's 18 songs.
And that's what we spent an hour or so chatting with her about last night, culminating in one block of questions:
How does one talk about an album from a female rapper that's mostly interesting because it doesn't sound like it's from a female rapper without talking about female rappers and blah, blah, blah. Beyond that, how does Uzoy exist as a rapper? And beyond that, can the best thing to say about a girl rapper today really be something that's as much of a backhanded insult as "she raps like a man"?
Her response proved inconsequential, but you should know that it did include an admission that she has not been singularly influenced by one female rapper. What's important is that The [DEF]inition fosters this kind of discussion.
Because it's good. That's why you should download it.
Unless you don't like girl rappers. In which case, you'll think it's bad. And that's the problem.
