Its crazy how there's only 1 universally accepted classic album from a female rapper,

[smokeurobinson]

U already know what that #1 is.

you' b reaching just to get 3

Mia X's Mamma Drama was dope but comes off like a No Limit compilation

The best of mc lyte has classic songs but thats a best of.

I'd be really reaching if i said Da Brat or Eve's 1st album


Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill is the only universally accepted classic from a female alligned on that Cuban Linx / The Chronic / Doggystyle/Ready To Die classic level. Nothing from Missy, Yoyo, Boss, Gangsta Boo, Trina, Jean Grae, Shawnaa, Foxy Brown, Sole,Rah Digga, Salt N Pepa, Bahamadia, Lady of rage, queen latifah or Lil Kim comes close.
I think Broke With Expensive Taste is a classic but had no universal impact so its reduced to being a personal classic

Let me also ad that 18 yrs later and Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill is aging very well.

...wrong thread my bad

 

[TheSickness]

Jean Grae?

 

[mobbinfms]

Not a straight hip hop album though so holds no weight.
What about Latifah's first one?

 

[The Fire]

Missy debut?

 

[smokeurobinson]

Jean Grae?

She have a universally accepted classic ?

U putting your chips on that 9th Wonder album

 

[George's Dilemma]

Jean Grae?

 

[TheSickness]

Go and tell me that Queen Latifah, Salt-n-Pepa, Da Brat are better rappers than her.

She have a universally accepted classic ?

U putting your chips on that 9th Wonder album

It was pretty good

Missy debut?

Not a straight hip hop album though so holds no weight.
What about Latifah's first one?

U say it holds no weight but Latifah birthed Lauryns style and you mention Latifah.

So does Latifahs 3rd lp also not count cuz she sings on that? i dont think so. Lauryns lp is hip-hop because singing is in a mothers nature.

ONLY classic female album was the PINKPRINT done by NICKI MINAJ

 

[George's Dilemma]

Go and tell me that Queen Latifah, Salt-n-Pepa, Da Brat are better rappers than her.

MF Doom can rhyme his azz off too, but I dont go around name dropping him in GOAT conversations. When Rawkus died that was the end her chapter. She never dropped anything to solidify any need to mention her in the same breath as other female artists.

00000000000000000000000000013727as someone said

its barely even really a hip hop album to be real

she raps on what 5 out of 16 tracks

i get why its grouped as being a hip hop album but its a big reach

honestly the 2 albums from a female rapper that can be argued as an actual HIP HOP ALBUM and billed as a classic from a female rapper


would probably be lil kim hardcore and foxy brown ill na na

those 2 albums are easily the hardest hip hop albums from a female that both had mass appeal and underground appeal with street and radio singles etc...


personally i think id go hardcore just off the strength of "drugs" and queen bytch

but fox with the promise and the chase

can switch it up depending on the day

It was pretty good

Again, key word. universally accepted
That lp Wasnt bumping in my hood and i lived in Brooklyn when it dropped.
Lil kims lighters up and remys conceited was bumpin in my hood nothing was bumpin from that jean/9th album hence it wasn't 'universally accepted' and more underground .
