    Wow. Four pages of comments and no love for the Princess Superstar? Bad Babysitter was a hit and nowhere near the best track on the album, 'Is'.

    Keep taking our shit away, we'll get mad. And we'll sing about it. I promise. We may have left the techno-bubble/Paris era/sext message decade to be narrated by Young Jeezy, but we tend to come on strong when there's actually something that needs to get said.

    Hasn't Queen Latifah sorta ditched rap? Isn't she into singing more jazz/ r&b now? Or is she going back to rap again?

    I fail to see how a lot of male rappers don't have "badass nympho" personas. 50 cent anyone? Rap could really use more women right now. I think there needs to be a 2008 Ladies' Night reunion- they can revive Left Eye a la Tupac. I don't want my ladies just to be singing hooks, looking like Pattie LaBelle if you know what I mean...

    ...kind of partial to Trina's verse in "naan" - I don't know what it was that just made me love that song- especially considering how scared I was to have my mom catch me with L'il Kim's first tape (yeah man, tape) back in h.s.


    I concur with everyone who mentioned Jean Grae- pretty awesome; Kid Sister- true, she's not that deep but she's really just good and; Yo Majesty- those girls are make-you-blush raw but they're good if you can take it. And yeah, whatever happened to Bahamadia?

    I used to say I hated rap. Then I found Missy Elliot. Now I enjoy a much wider range of music than I did before.

    Ooh, I wrote about this for a media studies essay last year. Imani Perry has written some fantastic shit about this subject too; I can't recommend Prophets of the Hood enough!

    I love this post and really miss the era of MC Lyte, Missy, Eve, Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill,etc. in hip hop. Have not seen anyone post this, but I remember this song by Eve so vividly. It is pretty heavy, and yes there is cursing so it may not be NSFW if you have it up too loud.

    @hoosierachar: I always got so sad whenever this one came on the radio :(


    But what a great opening line.

    @andonthatnote is solid as Barack-rock-rock-rock!: Whoops, didn't finish.


    She is somehow feministy and popular. Go figure.

    I miss Lauryn Hill. 10 years later and most other rap artists' work (male OR female) can't hold a candle to her first solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

    "When we hear the word rappers, we think of black males; they're what feminists would call hip-hop's unmarked category. This makes tough going for pretenders outside of this category, and it's meant that many of the identities that female comers have carved for themselves-Boss' gangsta bitch, Kim's badass nympho, or, recently, Lil' Mama's lunchroom alpha girl-have registered as one-offs or fads. (We see the same thing with white rappers, whether it's the Beastie Boys' nerdy boogie or Eminem's white-trash horror-core.)"


    Wait, what??? Eminem and Beastie Boys are flashes in the pan? I guess "flash in the pan" now means "Named Best Rapper Alive by Vibe magazine" and "Nominated for the 2007 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame." Respectively.
