Serious as a heart attack KP.

Put it like this.

Link to a better verse by any female rappers:

* Queen Latifah - More staying power than even most male artists. Is now multi-dimensional on television, movies, commericals

* MC Lyte

* Missy Elliott

* Yo Yo

And if you expand the scope a bit:

* Lauren Hill
* Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez

phuck MTV and every best list I ever saw them come up with.

"who wan come tess"

here's one link to sum the whole shyt up:

what kills me is nowadays you need a list of why she isn't instead of any shred of evidence as to how she earned the crown.

This isn't about ranking. its about earning stripes.

So any chick can come in with a lil buzz, borrowed cocky swag, the right cosigner (ala 50), a buncha remakes of recent and classic borrowed hits (ala 50), borrowed beef strategy (ala 50), youtube hits, a poster looking like kim, plastic surgery like both Kim & Fox and she's the best? Stop it.

Say she's nice or she's the best in a while, or since ____, but ever??

Talent? Sure. Best ever?

ABSOFUCKINLUTELY NOT.

Brandon Jennings put up 55 last week. Is he the best rookie ever?

Ill - Bahamadia can spit.

Jean Grae is the best female rapper in the entire history of this rap shit period dot!!

Just listen to "Taco Day" and fall in love with the greatest story ever told in hip-hop!!

Brother Keith!!

Where you been man? Your boy dx asked me about you today.

Jean Grae? Not hip.

Send a link.

Jean Grae is ill, DV. U should really get familiar. She fucked herself IMHO by signing with Talib Kweli tho. Dude doesn't seem to have his own career stabilized yet, how the phuck is he going to put a female MC on. (Especially one who's not selling tits and ass, but just straight lyrics.)

But so's Nicki. Her Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape really surprised me with how good it was.

Jean Grae is the Saigon to Nicki Minaj's 50 Cent. The rapper who's probably ten times better, just nobody's heard of them yet.

The Doc said...

Well, no, actually Nicki Minaj can rap her ass off. It'd probably be a helluva fight to see who was better, her or Jean. I'd love to hear them both on a track together.

Get Lauryn H on the hook, and the world would melt.

KonWomyn said...

Yep Jean Grae is the illest! I saw her some years back performing in Cape Town, South Africa and it was the dopest thing to see a female spit on the mic and drop the hottest mixes on the turntables. I think it was the most natural thing for her to sign with Talib bec she's been rolling with that crew since way back when. Black Girl Pain is mad DEEP!

(DV: she was born and bred in Cape Town so there's another African for ya.)

And yea L-Boogie the GOAT, IMO. Nicki Minaj ain't even come close, just another talented MC turned into a Black Barbie selling sex - Anon gave the right description of her.

What's up good people. DV - i dig the dialogues, perspectives, patterns of thinking of this blog; i've been checking it out for quite some time, and finally decided to join some convos, if i may.

I initially wanted to be a hater, because Nicki Minaj has certainly been marketed as a sex-pot; but there's some other cuts that touch on some of her deep personal issues...

Nonetheless, album/'youtube hits'/mixtapes, deep issues or frivolity, her flow and rhymes are pretty tight.

Still, the best female rapper out now IMO is indeed Jean Grae.
