Mami (hip hop)
In hip hop, the term ''mami'' refers to an attractive Latina woman, typically of Puerto Rican or Dominican descent. There is also the emergence of the ''mami'' video vixen, who is the glamorized, hyper-sexualized version of an attractive Latina woman that is seen in rap videos.〔 The image of ''mami'' that is the most popular in rap culture is the ''butta pecan mami'', a term coined by Raquel Z. Rivera, which refers to a Latina woman who has light golden colored skin and "good" (European-type) hair. The ''mami'' shares qualities with the hyper-sexualized black woman, but her skin color and hair type put her in a higher position in the Eurocentric desired hierarchy. The ''mami'' that appears in mainstream rappers videos are specifically referred to by origin, which was generally Puerto Rican (but now also refers to women of Dominican descent), when the ''mami'' fetish of the 1990s took off.〔
== Emergence of the ''mami'' figure in rap music ==
In the late 1990s, there was an emergence of a romanticization of Latino stereotypes (gangster and drug dealers) and usage of Spanish language in American rap music.〔 From this trend came the view of Latinos, in particular women, as exotic version of the black counterparts, with a much more sexualized way of being.〔 The use of the term ''mami'' in songs such as Diddy's song "Senorita"
"Mami ven aqui,/I wanna be your Papi chulo can't you see? (mi amor)/Baby I need you conmigo/Your style is my steelo te necesito yo aqui (te necesito yo a ti, te amo)/Baby come to me (2x)"
brought attention to the term as well as who it would represent in the media. There was also an awareness made to different types of ''mamis''. The two distinct ''mami'' identities that emerged from these applications of stereotypes and Spanish language are the tropicalized ''mami'' and the ''butta pecan mami''.〔 The tropicalized ''mami'' is one that is an exotic, lighter-skinned version of black womanhood.〔 The ''butta pecan mami'' is more in reference to a specific skin color (e.g. skin the color of butter pecan flavored desserts).〔
