Letter From the Editor

It's no secret that women in hip-hop have often been underestimated, overlooked, undervalued, and flat-out dismissed. No matter how much they were doubted, though, these innovators never stopped challenging hip-hop's status quo. These women spearheaded movements, fought stereotypes, sparked new conversations, and broke new ground, all while ushering hip-hop into the mainstream. It's why, this month, POPSUGAR celebrates the unparalleled excellence of women in hip-hop in honor of the culture's 50th anniversary.
