The Tory Lanez trial in December 2022 sparked a divide in hip-hop and stoked a 50-year-old battle for Black women to be heard. louderthanariot's new episode looks at the impact of Megan Thee Stallion's testimony to unpack the impact of misogynoir on rap.
Megan Thee Stallion.In December 2022, one of the biggest trials of the year unfolded in LA. Tory Lanez was facing more than 20 years in prison on charges of shooting fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion, and the internet was intensely divided: You were either pro-Tory or pro-Megan, and there was nothing else to say about it.
Tory was found guilty of assaulting Megan and now awaits sentencing. But the words of Megan's tearful testimony and what is now her almost three-year fight to be believed is somehow still a subject of debate in the culture. And no matter how you saw the case, the rifts online reveal how deep those tensions run in hip-hop.
In this episode, the first of our new season, we read between the lines and lies of hip-hop's most divisive trial to date with's Senior Producer Gabby Bulgarelli and examine the roots of rap's misogynoir with the creator of the term, sociologist Moya Bailey. Although this isn't the first time a Black woman in hip-hop has spoken out about abuse, Megan's day on the stand revealed the level of mistreatment Black women must endure in hip-hop — and in America.
At this point, Bailey says,"If you're denying misogynoir, then you're just denying reality." The reality is that hip-hop has been denying misogynoir for 50 years. And now is the time to have that conversation.
