...cleverer than the posts they comment on. Last August Gawker ran an item about the rapper Foxy Brown, who was accused of hitting a neighbor with her BlackBerry. The commenters spontaneously generated an entire mini-subculture consisting of variations on this single item: "This is like the time Spinderella stabbed me with her Treo." "MC Lite [sic] beat me about the head and upper shoulder with a stack of faxes."

...female rappers are creating buoyant messages that transcend the inert boasting so common in male rap. Salt-N-Pepa may have found the most satisfying and successful musical formula yet. Salt (Cheryl James), Pepa (Sandy Denton) and Spinderella (Dee Dee Roper), who met while working in a Sears department store in 1985, punctuate soul-tinged R.-and-B. melodies with teasing, street-savvy raps about maturity, independence from men and sexual responsibility.
