The 2010s opened with new rapper Nicki Minaj, who would go on to dominate the decade with hit after hit. Perhaps the most definitive song of this era is her triumphant “Moment 4 Life,” in which she declares, “From this very moment I’m king… I slay Goliath with a sling.” An anthem of empowerment if ever there was one!
However, halfway through the decade, against the roar of #BlackLivesMatter, Janelle Monae, who occasionally raps on her albums, offered a powerful protest song, “Say Her Name ” in support of Kimberlé Crenshaw’s campaign raising awareness of Black women and girls who are also targeted by state violence. Its power is in its simple chanting of the names of victims, a unified choral refrain and militant drums underscoring the song’s gravitas.
