Sexism in Hip Hop: From “BET and VH1 Present…Awards Shows Without Women

Jean Grae

(Entertainment Weekly) This month, VH1 and BET will air lavish awards shows celebrating hip-hop's finest, including Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and Jay-Z. But here's the catch: Neither the Hip-Hop Honors nor the BET Hip-Hop Awards (airing Oct. 23) nominated a single female rapper. Next year's Grammys may also follow suit, since the Recording Academy nixed its category for Best Female Rap Solo Performance in 2005.
