ILL K Entry 53 "KAT STACKS IS HIPHOP"


Hiphop's favorite bad ass chick, Kat Stacks.


KAT STACKS IS HIPHOP. Yes, I said it. B-Roc said it -- we are all plagued by notions of what a woman in hiphop is. Your confidant, your bitch, your booty call, your PR agent, your wifey, your DJ -- I mean, you name it. Hiphop has evolved. And what finer way to tell you what kind of hiphop has evolved in the west but from this article by Rocky Rivera. It's short enough to blow me away. Some things we see and accept without saying so is now written and is now part of history.

From Rocky Rivera's TUMBLR:


"I was introduced to Kat Stacks not too long before the “slap heard ‘round the World” and was immediately intrigued. She was described as the 2010 SuperHead, and while people who know me might immediately assume I would detest someone like her, I’ve long since moved past blaming women for reacting to an industry that continues to put them at the bottom rung of the economic ladder.

In short, she is Hip Hop’s creation. She was made in Hip Hop’s name. Once you get past the vulgarity, she is what Hip Hop values most: an attractive, bodacious woman who is promiscuous and isn’t afraid to admit it. Did you think T-Pain’s “I’m In Love With A Stripper” wouldn’t have any social implications?

Rappers have one vice and that’s women. Boasting about being “into having sex and not making love”, they’re letting these complete strangers into their intimate space and throwing them out like a used condom. And while rappers are used to treating women like single-serving entrees, there is an interesting caveat that occurs: these women deep down, don’t like it. Sure they smile and let you have your way with their body - an illusion that the rapper is in complete control - but these women become resentful and hellbent on revenge."
