How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

"How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back?" --- appropo that Noname hates her white fans & goes to predominantly white countries & is confused why most of her audience is white & says she will quit rapping if the majority of her listeners continue to be white. imagine being this racist & still being able to be hosted on respected platforms like Tiny Desk smh

Except she's not chill, check out her twitter, she's straight up racist and angry at white people for liking her music.

@@cavemanben That's not true at all. Think a little deeper than this surface level bs comment you just made. She made it very clear why she preferred to perform for a predominately black audience opposed to a white one and it has nothing to do with racism.

I love her voice, it's so unique. Normally sometimes when females rap, they put this aggression in their voice.. but she doesn't have to do that. I think that also helps with the pleasant vibes she sends off.

The Pseudo Nigo I feel the exact way about her. The smooth vibes her voice give off feel just right in a world where female rappers show off the aggression they have.

Yeah, it's nice seeing a more well known Female MC not just doing her best Lil Kim impression. Like I get that Lil Kim is influential but maybe there would be more well known Female MCs if they weren't all trying to sound the same. If y'all haven't heard them check out the Seattle duo THEESatisfaction, it's great stuff.

I have the biggest crush on Noname. She's like that quiet girl in the corner of a house party, that's just sitting there, sipping her drink. But when you talk to her, she's one of the smartest, sweetest girls you've ever met.

This is another artist with such great storytelling that capture the black experience so well

It so feels like there is a constant stream of intelligent info and vibes flowing thru nonames mind and she merely has to open up and let it out. Like a translator of the soul. She is a gem.

I got no health insurance so this right here is my anti-anxiety meds.
