GloRilla & Sexyy Red Tease Joint Project: ‘Men Gonna Hate Us’

GloRilla and Sexyy Red are fueling rumors of a collaborative project after sharing their excitement about working together on a joint venture. In a recent XXL interview published on December 17, the two rappers reflected on their banner years and the success of their previous collaborations.

During the interview, Sexyy Red asked GloRilla what a potential joint project would sound like, and the duo’s chemistry immediately sparked.

“Ratchet as fuck,” GloRilla responded, with Sexyy quickly agreeing.
“It gon’ be some super ratchet shit. The n-ggas gon’ hate us. No, I mean the men gon’ hate us,” they joked.
But Sexyy Red was optimistic about the men’s reception, suggesting:
“Because we both trench-certified, you know? Two young ladies.”

GloRilla enthusiastically concluded the discussion by saying:

“You know we gotta do it.”

The conversation left fans buzzing with anticipation, though they didn’t dive deeper into specifics about the project itself.

The Surge of Hyper-Sexualized Female Rap Music

The idea of a joint project between GloRilla and Sexyy Red comes at a time when female rap is experiencing a surge in sex-positive music. Acts like Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Ice Spice, and Sexyy Red are dominating the charts with their explicit lyrics and confidence. Their music unapologetically embraces female empowerment and sexual freedom, something 50 Cent recently addressed in an interview with Michael Perry.

50 Cent, known for his own raunchy hits like Candy Shop and Magic Stick, critiqued the increasing sexual content in mainstream female rap, arguing that there’s a lack of balance between substance and sex appeal in today’s female rap scene. “I just want somebody to break [through] that is not trying to sell some box,” 50 Cent said with a smirk.

He also added that while he made raunchy songs in his prime, there was a difference between his metaphorical approach and the more explicit sexual lyrics in current female rap: “I was doing ‘Candy Shop’ and ‘Magic Stick,’ like metaphors for sexual experiences. They are flat-out saying the experience in the music now.”

Counterarguments and Empowerment in Female Rap

GloRilla responded to 50 Cent’s critique in a previous interview, challenging the idea that female rappers are too focused on one-dimensional topics like sex. She pointed out that male rappers often rap about violence, money, and cars, while women express their experiences differently:

“What men rap about? Killing, fucking, robbing, cars, money,” she said in a GQ cover story.
“Females rapping about the same shit. But guess what? We’re not killing. We’re not in gangs. We’re not robbing. That’s what men be doing. What we doing? We’re sitting pretty, we’re popping our shit, we’re hustling, we’re getting money. We fuck, so we rap about what we do.”

The Future of Female Rap

As for the future of GloRilla and Sexyy Red’s potential collaboration, their upcoming joint project would continue a trend of female rappers empowering themselves and challenging industry norms. With a fanbase already passionate about their unapologetic and fearless personas, it’s clear that their “ratchet” sounds would capture the attention of listeners who enjoy their bold approach. The two artists have proved themselves to be influential voices in the rap scene, and a full-length collaboration could make an even bigger impact.
