Historically, Queen Latifah was a prominent figure in the hip-hop industry for women. She had no tolerance for misognomy, and spoke out against it while producing her own music to contribute to the industry. According to the article “Queen Latifah on Fighting Misogyny in Rap and ‘Uplifting Women’” by Rahel Gebreyes, Latifah shared that she has always “had a problem with [misogyny]” and was “never the kind of person to take things lying down” (Gebreyes, 1). With this motivation Latifah continued to grow, and incorporated “positive messages” for women in songs such as U.N.I.T.Y. for empowerment.
