Never before had a female member of a hip-hop group been given center stage to shine like that on a platform like that—in a song like that—and when Hill did, she changed the way we contributed to and related to that sphere of musical culture. Growing up on the fruit of golden-era hip-hop required learning how to negotiate being both a girl and a fan. It meant sometimes checking young men who were under the impression that what happened in a song was okay to recreate in real life. Tupac delivered two albums— All Eyez on Me and The Don Killuminati —in the time it takes most artists to labor over one, and Nas released It Was Written , arguably as much of a classic as his Illmatic debut two years before. Outkast produced ATLiens. It was a time when hip-hop was the vanguard of versatility, and artists—not just rappers, but artists—prided themselves on creating music that made them distinct, which in turn let them reach distinct audiences.
