Queensbridge and Lefrak rappers were notorious for having good songs ruined by non-singing vocalists.

I'm from the Stretch and Bobbito era. You listed 2 of the acts that broke out and had hits and long careers. Trust me, they were a lot of rappers from that region at the time, and it was a trademark, almost.

I think you posted Blue Raspberry by accident, but she was a great singer.

the most underrated r&b singers to ever be featured on hip hop songs


and she was an exception.

 

[Boogie]

I’d smash

 

[OmegaK2099]

Her singing with this gospel passion on this damn Halloween gangster music

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Good stuff. Getting a live singer to do hooks was a West Coast style of hip hop. Those artists, and the ones inspired/affiliated with those artists had the sense to use people who could sing. When East Coast artist adapted to the style, many of them got some random they knew to sing. Queensbridge and Lefrak rappers were notorious for having good songs ruined by non-singing vocalists.

You’re Right

 

[NormanConnors]

She should of had more of a career

Usually back in the day a new chick that was featured on the hook was prepping/or lined up for an album in the future. And the feature served as exposure. I was fully expecting an album later.

Always thought it was dope how they ran it in reverse on the opening intro to E 1999 Eternal

 

[Stir Fry]
