Rapsody is really becoming a broken record during interviews. She has found talking points that she likes, but it makes her interviews very predictable. While being interviewed by Talib Kweli of "The People's Party Podcast" she spoke about the same things she spoke about on Jemele Hill's podcast. How she is used as a weapon against other female rappers and name-dropped Ole Girl and Megan again.
I get that we are in a time where rappers need a narrative. It's one big Love & Hip Hop in the music industry. I do not think this sympathy play is the move. Nicki Minaj has been pitted against every female rapper who people thought would blow up. Why would people feel sorry for Rapsody?
Also, there was a think piece written about how Raposdy is used as a weapon and how she adds to the problem. After that piece was released, she is now on this whole, "women have their own stories" kick. She is right, but I think she needs to be honest about how she helped with the narrative that she is a "real rapper" compared to the more girly rappers. During an interview with Ebony Magazine, she is quoted as saying,
“When you think about the female artist today, you’re supposed to be sexy. You’re not supposed to rap about messages or current events. It’s always supposed to be about your body or what you can do sexually for a man. It’s really disheartening for that idea to be put out, especially when you have young girls that look up to that. It affects how they think and how they perceive what a female is supposed to look like and how they’re supposed to speak,” she tells EBONY." - RAPSODY 2014
Before there was an Ole Girl and Megan to latch on to, she was singing a different tune. She found it "disheartening" that young girls would look up to female rappers who rapped about their bodies or sexual matters. Now, she no longer cares about those girls lol.
I get that people evolve, but I would prefer her to talk about how she evolved instead of always just trying to get brownie points by mentioning hotter rappers.

**they’re
Walking contradiction! Makes no sense. The fact that she’s aware of what their doing makes it worse. She doesn’t have to like Nicki, but don’t sit there and act like she’s all about selling sex when your endorsing an ex stripper that robbed and drugged men. Degraded black women, tells young girls to get a sugar daddy, and lies about literally everything! The girl wants to literally be just like Nicki. Rhapsody knows what she’s doing and that’s what i can’t get with. Just be yourself TF!
She's like a broken fucking record.Hell, just say you don't like Nicki and go.
It's definitely misplaced anger/jealousy with some of these girls.
I feel like these females are jealous of nicki and how she do business cuz wit nicki u see she has creative control of her projects and she owns her music Nicki is a smart business woman who never depend on the label to guide her career she always guide her own career and she always stood up for herself in the industry cuz she knows her self worth an I think they envy that they didn't do what nicki did
