There are so many reasons that a woman can be beautiful from the walk in her step, body, intelligence, and presence. My whole series War of the Beauty tries to tackle the idea of beauty. The one thing that is attractive to men that sometimes gets lost in the shuffle is a woman who really knows their hip hop. I mean REALLY KNOWS IT! This week’s guest post comes from Lincoln Blades (@lincolnablades) the writer of one of my personal favorite blogs This is Your Conscience. Check him out this week as he writes about a woman who knows hip hop being one of the sexiest things.

Obviously when choosing a significant other, we initially start by quantifying the depth of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual connection to that person and hep everything checks out. After that, we start to analyze the VARIABLES that also help to encompass our attraction to that person. Some of these variables can be anything from material, superficial things such as what kind of car they drive, what their salary is and how well they dress. But some of the variables are also INTANGIBLE, such as their sense of humour, their optimism or even their taste in music. For me, a tried-and-true HIP HOP HEAD, there’s one thing [that very few women I find have] that can make a slightly above-average girl, a damn DIMEPIECE in my eyes: She’s a knowledgeable Hip-Hop head.
Now first let me define Hip-Hop head: This is someone who is, or previously was, completely emerged in the music of hip-hop to the point that it is [or was] a large and important part of their everyday life, from their fashion sense to their common sense [see what I did there? Hip-hop heads will].
I have been an active participant in Hip-Hop culture since 1990, and I got a stack of The Source & Rap Pages magazines in my basement to prove it. I still got my “Enter The 36 Chambers”, “Illmatic” and “Ready To Die” cassettes in my cabinet, right next to my “Midnight Marauders“, “Wrong Side Of Da Tracks”, and “Riders Of The Storm: The Underwater Album” tapes. I will intensely argue with ANYONE on how the the original Crooklyn Dodgers would beat the SH*T out of the Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers in a lyrical battle any day of the week – unfortunately the BRUNT of these convo’s are had with big, frowsy, loud-mouthed DUDES – so when a FEMALE hip hop head comes along, it’s a pleasant surprise, and if she’s KNOWLEDGEABLE [obviously along with her other positive traits] it’s just a BIG DAMN TURN-ON.
See, here’s the truth ladies: Most men really DON’T respect your taste in Hip-Hop as a collective gender. Let’s not dance around it. Most men feel like women don’t know SH*T about what we label “real” Hip-Hop and we believe that y’all will support any SONG from some baby face-having negro with a popular R&B singer on the hook. Is it ignorant? Probably. Is it completely untrue? Unfortunately NOT. [Sorry ladies, but Lil' Zane's career is on Y'ALL]. So when we meet a woman who defies our preconceived notions, it’s hard to not find her incredibly attractive, because we wonder how much the uniqueness of her mindset transfers over into other parts of her life, outside of music. It’s like this:
Guys, picture you meet a woman at the gym who looks like this:
She’s beautiful, nice, has a sweet-ass voice and a great sense of humour. So as you guys are leaving, you walk her to her car, exchange numbers and as she gets in and starts it up, her radio blares on and Black Moon’s “Who Got Da Props” comes on. While you are there shocked [and slightly wondering if her brother left his old CD in her car] you say “damn, nice tunes” to which she replies, without missing a beat, “Yeah I love these guys! Too bad ‘For The People’ was such a disappointment! Anyways, text me later!”
Bruh, I wouldn’t blame you if your first text to her was “will you marry me?”

Me personally I don’t want my chick being a hip hop head. I love my chick not caring about Wu Tang but loving them booty bounce songs. I won’t the booty in a woman not a cipher chick!
I definitely dig a chick who knows there hip hop but I find most chicks usually are fronting in what they know. They know a few songs but they really don’t delve into the music beyond the surface. Its like finding a woman who really knws sports virtually a unicorn
I’m a hip hop head, but only when it comes to ol’ skool stuff. I was a grown woman in the military in 1990 when you joined the hip hop community, and I hate 98.9% of the new stuff. Hip hop has changed for the worse, especially in regards to its treatment of women. So, I find it hard to believe that it didn’t occur to you that there’s a reason women don’t feel about it the way you do.
Women have a hard time relating to and loving an “art form” that strips them of their humanity and reduces them to disposable sex toys – nothing more than sperm receptacles with cute faces and big asses. That’s pretty much all women are to hip hop, now. Until that changes, don’t expect women to have the same enthusiasm you have.
I don’t want to speak for the writer but I think he means real lyrical hip hop not the stuff you see all day on MTV2 and world star hip hop
I am not a big Hip Hop fan but I LOVE amanda Diva! This was cute post though gonna have to check out some more of his stuff
Now that you mention … all the woman who I’ve held intelligent conversations concerning Hip Hop did offer a certain sensual nature that resonated within my spirit, afterwards. If I could actually explain the surreal feeling I believe it was/is the perceived hipness of it all which eloquently defined her sexy being.
Amanda Diva is powerfully engaging.

Allow me to break it down for y’all, Ladies and Gentlemen. A “True” Female Hip Hop Head will not only rock..”Who Got The Props” in da’ ride; but she’ll also WILLINGLY attend a baseball game (with you)..with the jeans and the fitted hat…….she’ll say, “Pizza and a movie is fine with me”……….she’ll try somethin’ new outdoors, i.e. archery, sailing, skydiving, rock climbing……..insist on you taking her out dancing…to keep the romance going…a REAL (hip hop head of a) WOMAN knows, if she wants excitement…….she has to be involved in it……….
Great Post…….Thanks to Linc and Digg!
