Queen Latifah is the goat female emcee and gets no respect

[EBK String]

She had skills
impact
hits
expanded outside of hip hop and became a star actress

On living living she put on other rappers and helped hip hop expand into the mainstream.

Yet she is neve mentioned as a great even amongst female emcees. Lauryn Hill dropped 1 dope solo album and 1 dope group album and everybody still gas her.

These kids don't know her as a rapper, even my generation barely knows her as a rapper we see her as Kadihjah.

Bars and beauty

She doesn't make Rap music anymore she actress in film an TV

Also you are trying denigrate Lauren Hill as a Rapper but that doesn't make sense. Lauren Hill is the most skilled MC ever and deserves her respect. Do kids know Lauren Hill?

Maybe media should cover older acts who aren't as active as they were in the 90s in general I guess
Thank goodness for Drink Champs and VladTV tho

dope no doubt...but too much of her stuff was obviously written by someone else

some of her best stuff sounds like a Treach or Apache remake

lmaoooooooooooooo.. so disrespectful

 

[L. Deezy]

All Hail the Queen was dope as shyt.. I dont really know any of her other albums tho off hand

 

[skillz2]

I like Black Reign. I mean when Queen Latifah last serious about her Rap career? she's been doing other stuff for more than two decades.

What about Roxane Shante? does she get any love from the mainstream? but then again she hasn't released a studio album in nearly 30 years.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I’m waiting on both her and Lauryn Hill to drop a current project. Lauryn on Nas’ album and Queen Latifah on Rapsody we’re outstanding and need a full length album with modern production. They are too good

That’s their problem then for not taking 60 mins to peruse her biggest hits. And even if they did know her as a rapper, she’s 3 music generations before their time, they ain’t gonna be bumping her or admire what she brought to the game as what they value in female MC’s has changed

 

[feelosofer]

I agree. I think it's just difficult because she hasn't put out a real rap album in about 25 years and there are 2 generations of people who don't even know her as a rapper.
