Page "Tricky" Paragraph 13

Throughout his work, Tricky blurs the normally clear sexual definitions found within hip hop.

Despite the heavy influence he drew from American hip hop in his debut album, Maxinquaye, he fights against typical sexual representations by, for example, dressing as a woman on the side sleeve of his album cover.

As many of his tracks blend elements of varying types of music creating a difficult to define sound, so his lyrics create a more ambiguous and blurry take on sexuality.
