She basically quit rap for a while and even with her commercial success completely fell off - doesn't seem like she's really trying to rap anymore.

Above the fray.
She's aged really well.

Shawna grew up in a mansion in Flossmoor and attended Homewood Flossmoor High School, at the time, one of the top high schools in the state. I was born in Olympia Fields which is the next town over and had family that lived in Flossmoor. People that I know that went to school with Shawna say that her media persona is extremely different from how she grew up and how she acted in high school. You weren't black, living in Flossmoor in the 70's and 80's and acting hood. Then again, Ludacris, apparently lived in Oak Park, and you wasn't doing that there either. So I don't know. Some folks are perplexed by Shawna's media persona.
She might have gotten more mileage out of being a BAP rapper. It would have gone against the grain, and been a tougher sell. Record labels find it easier and more profitable to promote whatever consumers respond to.

Lauryn Hill wasn't the daughter of a music legend and from that kind of wealth, but solidly middle class family. Never tried to act like she wasn't.
Sometimes record labels gambling on a left field act pays off.
