Pitchfork’s Patric Fallon felt that many aspects of Hotep, such as its all-female vocalists and the “femininity” present in tracks such as “Brown Grrl”, are commentary on how Blunt sees gender relations in African-American culture. This theory was supported by a panel Blunt had given the previous year, in which he remarked, “We’ve got to question everything we’ve been told about us being black […] There’s a lot of homophobia, there’s a lot of dominance in it… Within the black movement there’s a lot of dominance over women...That has to be addressed first.”
