Omexonomy: When it comes to female rapping my own list
1. Queen latifah
2. Left eye R.I.P
3.missy eliott
4. Eve.
But when it comes to best female solo artist i will give every thing to Anita baker the great grand mother of the 70s and 80s. Only 2% of nairalanders were born then the rest were in womb waiting for the future esp all the mods and supper mods
what of moni love (simone gooden), the english emcee....who was a protege of queen latifah,well respected in the british hip hop circle...

SirShymex:

Word...flows just changed/now we 'bout to change the game. Those were the days man! BX and terror squad, even Tony Sunshine was on there smiling without never putting an album out. I swear Cuban Linx was also on it. Nore - that's my nyggah. Dj Khaled wasn't shouting "we the best" back then! grin

Bruv, I think it came out after "New York" - most likely after 50cent dropped "in da club."

However, that "New York" tune was definitely one track that made people actually feel like they were from New York. I'm not even going to lie, that track got me on New York hard - Jay Z's "Empire State" ft A.Keys didn't have the same effect on rap-heads. I'd say only Tupac's "To Live and Die in LA" touched me the same way.

Jadakiss murked the track though.

These bars from Jada's verse did it for me(goddamnit!!):

I swear it couldn't be sweeter
Life's a biiitch depending on how you treat her, you might get rich
It's guaranteed you gonna die, you might get missed
For maybe 2 or 3 hours, till they light their spliffs


i feel u man, dat New york was dope and God bless ya for remindin of that song "to live and die in LA". I so much luv a particular line in dat song, the end of verse 2...."gettin high, watch d time fly". OMG...rap is dead

Those time competition dey. You can mixtape of various rapped on one cassette. Now we are stuck with only nicki anacondas

I think nigerian music gains relevance the moment American music becomes trash

Eve actually released an album this year, she made no attempts to promote her new material though so I doubt that it did well.

I've found it! I've found it! I can't believe I've found it!

In Nigeria of 1987, 1988 and 1989 the female hip hop scene was all about the battle between fans of

Salt N Pepa (US) vs Wee Papa Girl Rappers (UK).


(That's before Queen Latifah, Monie Love and Technotronics came on the scene)

Wee Papa Girl Rappers - Wee Rule (1988).
