i think i was being harsh and unfair to female rappers wih that comment, and ill admit it. one of my favorite songs is paper thin by mc lyte...she was a great rapper...some other honorabe mentions are jean grae, bahamadiah (i seen her live a while back and she was dope) medusa from project blowed, vixen, local female mcs liek snow white the product and LC janet...i liked chyna white, shorty no mas on down to kid sister... i always liked songs that had female mcs and male mcs....like "ive got a man", or "dont play with my yoyo" or "sprinkle me" with e40 and suga-t..and i thought the female mcs usually steal the show on songs like that.
my gripe with female rappers is id like to see the bar raised....i cannot tell a female rapper how to do that because you know, im male....but i wish female rappers interested me more and brought me into their world when it comes to rap, as thats what rap is about, right? they brought more creativity to the table and showed what makes females different from males back in the day...id love for a female to be a female on the mic.....id like to hear a female with a soft flow in comparison to a hard one. im ready for a change in female rappers, i just get disillusioned, theres less female mcs today with the "total package" than there used to be...like roxanne shante for instance
mc lyte definately...no female rapper is making songs liek "cappachino" and talking about how drug dealing boyfriends might get shot when you fall in love..i wanna hear more shit like that for sure
it seems like women are pigeonholed into marketing...nice pictures looking pretty....i mean i cant jam to a song about lip gloss or nail polish but like LC janet has shown me females have whole different topics and concetps...one of my fav songs from her is "golden girls" where she speaks on her grandmothers and how they had an effect on her growing up.
id liek to hear more shit like that from females
sure shes a masculine rapper but her creativity is high..
i appreciate the comment about writing reviews, and i'd love to...
oh yeah and that female mc show is boring..thats kinda what i mean..they throw yall in that barrel with white rappers and its hard for some women to break out of the burden of being female mcs...without letting it break them?
