Why read it?
1 author picked God Save the Queens as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There wouldn’t be hip-hop without the ladies. As a female hip-hop journalist, I love that the definitive book on female rappers exists.
God Save the Queens is a hip-hop anthology that meticulously chronicles the important (and often unsung) contributions of female rappers. Whether you’re a fan of the old school (MC Lyte) or the new (Megan Thee Stallion), you’ll learn about the notoriously competitive and patriarchal industry and how these women fought adversity, doubt, and the odds to garner respect—and their crowns—in hip-hop.
From Sowmya's list on learning about hip-hop.
