Nicki Minaj??? No. Please....no. I 343'd Jean Grae though.

Most female rappers don't SUCK. Lauren Hill, however, is amazing and hard to match. She's really secure behind the mic and it shows in a way that blows away most rappers. Male or female.

That didn't help me feel any younger...

Bahamadia?

Sure Nikki Minaj is huge pop now. But she is still talented. Check out her older mixtapes.

How about Gangsta Boo from 3 six mafia? She was pretty hard back in the day. Real nasty sex type shit! Girl rappers that talk real nasty like that are sorta sexy in a strange way but also equally repulsive. It's a strange emotion.

Also, Left eye from TLC was pretty good.

I LOVE M.I.A. but she doesn't exactly rap I guess.

there's, um, this too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdN-6ofz50w

Left Eye was good... but no Lauryn Hill that's for sure.

Gansta Boo and 3 Six Mafia in general just piss me off.

Lauryn Hill and Jean Grae are eloquent.

it's easy to freestyle rap when half the rhyming words out of your mouth are a brand of liquor, beer, or wine... a drug reference, a gun model/size, or a curse word. there's no skill to that... they're like a crutch... or it's like Mad Libs where you write in the missing noun, adjective, verb etc...

i dunno, i guess having flow is a HUGE part of it too, so i shouldn't discredit anyone that does, but shallow material is not something i will still be having a listen to 16 years later and starting a thread about

I still rock MC Lyte's Paper Thin every time I get a chance.

Very true!!!! I totally agree. Which is why most rap (including male) completely blows anymore.
I always liked hip hop better. Tribe called quest, Common, Dead Prez etc. But anything popular is mostly shallow nonsense.

Anyway, I guess we just proved it, no one can touch Lauryn Hill !!!
