Editor's Comments -- The opening discussion between scholars David Ikard and Joan Morgan hits the nail on the head of what we're trying to accomplish in this issue. Early on, they question if there are spaces in hip-hop culture where healthy exchanges around sex and eroticism can take place. In a print media context, it certainly seems like such outlets are few and far between, hence this issue on sex and hip- hop. Our intent is to start opening up the discourse -and to spur a productive dialogue about the issues at play. We present a diverse mix of ideas and voices in the form of scholarly articles, personal essays, poetry, graphic artwork and interviews. We move from Greg Thomas's radical salvo against the prevailing school of thought behind criticisms of sexuality in Black popular music to Hanifah Walidah's proposition to move hip-hop forward through the inclusion of what she calls a feminine creative process. There are features that examine two of the major figures that challenged gender roles in Baltimore Club culture; an interview with Soce the Elemental Wizard, one of the most outspoken gay voices in hip-hop; an analysis of how painter Kehinde Wiley's work complicates ideas of Black masculinity; an essay about entrepreneur April Silver's relationship with her father and his musical tastes; and the case of Danielle UTAH Bremner, a female graffiti artist whose arrest and conviction signals an alarming escalation in how authorities deal with writers after 9/11. Yayoi Koizumi's article, which is accompanied by iona rozeal brown's paintings, takes on body image issues by exploring Japanese subcultures that intentionally darken their skin to appear Black; while Allison Hamilton's work demonstrates how early female rappers used sartorial choices to express feminist ideas. Many of these articles work in concert with the graphic pieces by our featured artist, John Jennings, and the photographs of hip-hop fathers shot by Jati Lindsay and Teri Memolo, as well as poems from Holly Bass, Tara Betts, Kelly Zen- Vie., Words.Beats.Life, 2010, 3, New York: Charmz.
