overratted female mc's

[Dpleezy]

Kanyi is dope.

[oints]

EvE (havent heard anything clever from her since jill scott ghost wrote for her on the roots' "u got me")
Ill NaNa (too much coke and D**k sucking)
Eternia (hate that f***in she male voice)

[the panic!]

I cant stand jean grae

haha, nthabi yeah. monotomous and generic

what hapnd 2 that NEL femcee, she was featured on a coupla trax on maximum sentence 1

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:

music is s'posed to be a form of escapism, something u can plug your head phones to and forget your problems

was what house heads and the Crackboyz said to hip hop heads. 

 

[oints]

^^^^

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"  

[the panic!]

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.

[rob_one]

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.

[watziznehmegin]

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, 

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.

[Enis21]

MC lyte is the one:  "...And then maybe Ill let you play with my feet
                             You could suck the big toe and play with the middle"

Jean, Nthabi, Ej, even lil mama- DOPE

[rob_one]

I'm the world's biggest Godessa fan, and Spillage was killer. But excepting the odd track on Rogue State of Mind, none of the trio have done anything really dope for a long time.

[General Ratzinger van Stilzkin]

I'd Go with MC Lyte as well... she does it for me

Nonchalant did it for me as well

Foxybrown's ill Nana album was dope

like selected tracks from eve

everyone else gets a skip

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!!"
that cracked me up.

[rob_one]

Anybody ever heard of Bellatrix?

SIIIIICK beatboxer. She has a crew called the Boxettes.

[watziznehmegin]

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...

[rob_one]

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

 

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.

[watziznehmegin]

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?
