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.
