This year marks 50 years of hip hop, and our friends on the KQED Arts team have been marking this moment with some deep dives into the history of the genre in the *Bay Area. Part of this celebration is  A new video series out this month is called “What’s Pimpin’”(it’s kind-of a roundtable discussion between women) that takes a REALLY HARD LOOK at GENDER in hip hop. Here to tell us more about it is one of the co-hosts and Oakland hip hop artist … Ryan Nicole. Hello!
