Nthabi is not one of my favourite emcees, I find her predictable and monotonous - but that said; all due respect MC Likwid Ice, I think caling her a bitch is going way too far. You being an mc yourself and being female, you should know better than to start refering to other women artists as bitches. Not that it's wrong of course if that's how u feel, but u don't earn such labels just because you're whack. Back up the bitch part for us please...

It's sad enough that these kind of terms are used by some men on women artists to underestimate them but coming from another woman artist ,it's sad, dissapointing and definitely not a good look on you. Tell me, do you suffer a complex of sorts that makes you think in order to shine you gotta put others down?

i do not completly dislike her music, but yeah, she gets on my nerves too sometimes, i just can not stand her "il wallow in my own self pity" lyrics. music is s'posed to be a form of escapism, something u can plug your head phones to and forget your problems, not listen to another person's problems over and over and over again with every album they drop  :-\

reminds me sorta about Atmosphere, that "lemons" album was sumol suicidal morbid hiphop, no hate, just gottdamn, any feel good music left out there or are we all depressed  :-\

cosign this. and what did happen to NEL, last i checked she was on the cover of some random magazine (a rag, really) covering women's issues or entertainment?

oints. i don't believe you about jean grae. and i thought this:

^^^^

im just sayin dun, Jean is nice with the pen, she can write, she can spit. my main problem with her is the content she sometimes dishes out to cats, im not saying she is wack or nutin, nah, neva dat, just that she needs to switch the subject matter from time to time and write some happy "girly" music (not intended to be chauvinist)  :-\

its just that ive been listening to a lot of really angry and depressed niccas on record lately, if their not saving hiphop, they about to murk themselves cos of a trick :-\

thats why id rather listen to Planet Asia, "in the war we kill the captives....for laughter" 8) 
Title: Re: overratted female mc's
Post by: the panic! on March 11, 2009, 03:04:10 PM
i get you. bro. the game seems to be divided that way lately, with the other side (you know who they are) having the time of their lives, and the heads morbid and mourning. funny, i think Jean Grae is dope and that schtick is part of what had me sold. a female emcee with honest self-analysis, wit and self-deprecating humour is a rare thing in rap.
Title: Re: overratted female mc's
Post by: rob_one on March 11, 2009, 03:17:35 PM
I don't know.

I like both Nthabi and Jean Grae - neither is perfect but they definately have their moments and are occasionally awesome. Jean is frustrating. She can go from dropping one of the greatest verses of all time (Slang Blades) to rubbish like the majority of Orchestral Files. Nuh-uh.

I hate cla**ifying MCs into male and female, but for the sake of argument I'll agree that there are no major female rappers in the big leagues at the moment.

@ Oints, take another listen to Lemons. It's a f***ing incredible album.
Title: Re: overratted female mc's
Post by: watziznehmegin on March 11, 2009, 03:27:08 PM
I disagree there are some girls doing decent things, just not really getting the same support as their male counterparts, cause honestly girls are the biggest haters, they are extremely competitive and the only girls I know that check for female mc's are dykes,  :P

But Psalm One is nice, (Nacrobat affiliate from Chicago, signed to Rhymesayers), and in the major game Shawnna is pretty dope and her Infamous Syndicate crew (again from Chi-Town) are pretty iLL, they put on a dope show, btw did you guys know Shawnna is the daughter of the Blues Legend Buddy Guy, thought I'd put that out there.

As for Overrated chicks, I guess your Jacki-O's, Trina's and Khia's are overrated, they find some support, but again most girls I know are either into alternative or straight listen to R&B, couple girls I know dig dancehall, but again I repeat girls are the biggest haters when it comes to the next chick gettin' hers.

i disagree here.

rah digga...rah digga...rah digga!!

this broad stay murking grown a** men on tracks. most of the joints she did with flip mode she came out as even outshining the dudes on there.

i think it was elzhi(if my memory serves me correctly) who was like: "...and rah digga?!!! yo, she spits like a dude!!"

Rah Digga is married to Young Zee, and as for the Foxy's, Nonchalant, and MC Lyte, with the exception of MC Lyte, none of these girls have put out anything as of late, Nonchalant was a one hit wonder, don't nobody outside of the D.C. Metro Area remember her.

I would probably have to agree on Lyte though, she is probably the greatest female to do it. Up there with Queen Latifah, L-Boogs, Ms. Melody, Isis, Bahamadia and so forth.

But right now most female rappers are M.I.A. at the moment.

It's the Beyonce's and Rihanna's racking up right now. oh yeah and M.I.A., btw whatever happened to Lady Sovereign? I meet her out partying in Atlanta one night and that was the end of it...

That L-Boog concert in Jozi ruined her forever for me. No, we don't want you to stop after five minutes of miseducation, sit down and pull out your guitar. f*** off. Back to your cave.

Dope rapper though.

Lady Sov, Nonchalant, Eternia, Psalm One...meh. None of them were anything special musically.

I'm going to stick my hand up again for Nthabi. Despite misgivings, Streets to the Lab was hella fresh.
Title: Re: overratted female mc's
Post by: watziznehmegin on March 11, 2009, 03:53:46 PM
Lady Sov ain't my cup of tea either  ;) but her first offering on Chocolate Industries managed to get her a deal with Def Jam Recordings, and not Def Jam UK (are they even still operational)? Anyway agree with all except Psalm 1, she can rhyme and her live shows are pretty good, she doesn't run out of breathe on the mic, and rarely breaths, kind of like a speed up female version of Breeze Brewin (you know how mans can go 8-12 bars without taking a breather), but yeah again, females aren't getting signed, because females aren't supporting their own. Except for a couple of girls in the south, hardly any females are getting deals.

What's up with Remy Ma? she out of Jail yet?

I used to check for Wild Flower quite a lot. Don't like what she did w Herbaliser but her flow was always solid and she had a decent persona going. Way better than Estelle back then but I think even they did a track together. Really dug Wild Flower, hope she's still at it.

True, I agree people have been giving reasonable explanations as to why they dislike a certain artist, my only thing is that females don't really get as much support as their male counterparts, hence the reason for less record sales and the end result being them falling off.

Roxanne Shante was smart about her record deal, now she is at least sitting on a p.h.d , and she was dope too!

The only place I can think of, off the bat, where I hear of females getting as much love at the guys is Australia, apparently Maya Jupiter, Trey and them sell as much as the guys do over there.

 Lady Sov is supposed to come out with a new CD in May or July. I really liked her when she was still in the
 UK Garage scene. The first time I heard about her was she was a guest on Richie Vibe Vee's show on BBC
 1Xtra back in '04. I haven't felt her stuff since she signed to Def Jam for some reason. 
 
  and Remy is still in prison. She married Papoose in prison a few months ago.
