The Novelty of Up-and-Coming Female Rappers Isn't That They're Female

The Novelty of Up-and-Coming Female Rappers Isn't That They're Female:

“Sometimes you don’t have to be 100 percent accurate. I’m not saying to spread lies — that’s slander, which is illegal — but everyone makes mistakes. I had a heckle that made David Robinson laugh (yessssss), which turned out to be an error: ‘Mo! Hey Mo! How’s it feel to make it a habit of getting swept by the Spurs? I remember 2007.’ I guess I don’t remember 2007 since he played for the Bucks and not the Cavs, but it was an honest mistake. Sorry, Mo.”

“My point is this—if you want to be happy in showbiz (or any creative field), listen to that voice inside you. Even if it says ‘Fuck it’ sometimes. Work with your friends. Avoid chasing fame or money. Just do what you want to do, when and how you want to do it. And if it’s not making you happy, quit. Quit hard, and quit often. Eventually you’ll end up somewhere that you never want to leave.”

- Bobcat Goldthwait in “Better Off Dead: Or Why Quitting the Movie Industry Was My Path to Salvation” in Vice

“Having it all, for me, is not so much about attaining a high salary as it is just living comfortably in an overall way. I want to enjoy my life as a whole and I’ve found that, for me, this means prioritizing a more stable, comfortable working environment above higher pay or impressive job titles. I feel lucky to have been raised by frugal parents who taught me to live below my means no matter what those means are. I hope my generation will benefit from lessons learned during this recession rather than only be stifled by it, in the same way that the Depression-era folks I’ve met are often such creative, resourceful people. The definition of ‘work’ is being constantly reshaped, and we have a hand in defining its future if we wish to.”

- Me, quoted saying suuuch smart, meaningful things in J. Maureen Henderson’s Forbes piece “Millennial Women Speak Out About The Gender Ambition Gap - It’s Real And They’re Living It”

Lady Comics: Who Needs Late Night? We’ve Got Tumblr

If you ask a female comedian how social media has impacted her professional life, she will likely respond like Elaine Carrol. “Social media has made my career,” says Carrol, the 30-year-old creator of the Very Mary Kate web series, a spoof of Mary Kate Olsen’s glam life in New York.

Remember just a few years back, when comedians (of any gender) relentlessly chased guest spots at the feet of David Letterman and Jay Leno? Getting a gig on late night was the ultimate career boost, but women comedians had to fight through the prejudices both professional (like infamously misogynist Letterman booker Eddie Brill) and cultural (let’s all try to forget that Christopher Hitchens essay).

But the level playing field of Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr means no one gets between ambitious talent and a potentially receptive audience. All it takes is perseverance, ability, skill, and infinite patience.

“Social media has essentially become my career,” says Kate Spencer, an improv instructor and writer at VH1 who blogs on Tumblr.

“Brandy says, ‘The best way is not to fight it, just go. Don’t be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger.’ She says, ‘Don’t do what you want.’ She says, ‘Do what you don’t want. Do what you’re trained not to want.’ It’s the opposite of following your bliss. Brandy tells me, ‘Do the things that scare you the most.’”

“When I started performing, there were certain issues that never came up when you looked at a girl in a band. But, without using any names, I do think that in 2011 there were setbacks to female imagery. We went backwards very briefly to a time period almost like the 80s. It was archaic. Like, ‘Why are we talking about this? This is so sexist.’ I just try to do what I believe in and think is strong. I don’t like wearing dresses on stage, because I’m not a girl. I’m a 30-year-old woman.”
