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

[raoulduke187]

nobody cares about female rappers breh, not even females

I've genuinely never listened to Lauryn Hill solo shyt

I've heard Lil' Kim's debut and don't remember a single thing about it

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Rahdigga didn't get enough of a push, I think she woulda got one

She does have a classic album

 

[CashmereThoughts]

I remember ill na na was very well received when it came out

 

[UserNameless]

Funkdafied, Supa Dupa Fly, and Hard Core are universally accepted as seminally classic albums.

Word.

One of Lyte's early albums, Mia X Unlady Like, Latifah's Black Reign, and S&P's HC&V should be either included or in the discussion.

I fux with Digga's Dirty Harriet heavy, but it just misses the mark. Honorable Mention tho.

Y'all just pulling shyt out your ass now...most of the albums you're naming are nowhere near classic.

I feel the same way about Dirty Harriet - and I put Unnecessary Roughness in the same class.

I think Black Reign is the same animal as Miseducation.
If niccas wanna put Miseducation on that level, they need to put Black Reign right next to it.

 

[feelosofer]

I would say Black Reign as well.

Dirty Harriet is a near classic though.

 

[UserNameless]

Classic.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

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.

i fukk HATE that MOLH gets any type of billing as a rap album... she ain't rapping on half of it for one... and 2, nikkas don't remember ANY of her bars as being anything classic

this was a damn r&b album that white people put in the rap category based on 3 singles

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I love MC Lyte personally. Had she come out 5-10 years later, I think she would have been bigger and got more love. She is a damn good MC and she had some real cool concepts/lessons to her songs.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

salt n pepa's debut isn't a classic now?

 

[UserNameless]

nikkas don't remember ANY of her bars as being anything classics

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Don't post smilies. Spit those classic bars

Do you know how many chix were spittin' "that thing" bar for bar in parties when that shyt dropped?
