GloRilla has fired back at Fabolous after his recent comments on the current state of female rap, offering her own critique of her male counterparts’ music.
Back in July, Fab took to social media to criticize what he thinks has become a one-dimensional genre, claiming that women in Hip Hop only make one style of rap.
On his Instagram Story, the Brooklyn native wrote: “I love hearing female rappers talking some real shyt. Women are so strong. Have so many stories and perspectives that we need to hear in pure form.”
He added: “No disrespect to any female rappers out there, but I think there’s only one style of female rap being promoted, programmed, and looked at as successful now.”
GloRilla responded to Fab’s comments in a GQ cover story published on Wednesday (December 13). She challenged Fab’s critique by pointing out the negativity in male rappers’ content: “What men rap about? Killing, fukking, robbing, cars, money.”
“Females rapping about the same shyt,” she continued. “But guess what? We’re not killing. We’re not in gangs. We’re not robbing. That’s what men be doing. What we doing? We’re sitting pretty, we’re popping our shyt, we’re hustling, we’re getting money. We fukk, so we rap about what we do.”
Recent discourse about negativity in Hip Hop has been a hot topic amongst fans and artists alike. E-40 recently added to the conversation during a sit-down with CBS Mornings, where he called on MCs to tell cautionary tales rather than glorifying negativity.
“I don’t like where [Hip Hop] is at,” he said during the interview. “Because I feel like it’s not enough creativity. Everyone sounds the same. A lot of copycats.”
