So in your mind, who is the GOAT female MC?

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

queen la is the best.

da brat, mia x, mc lyte, lady of rage, lauryn hill & salt-n-pepa are right up there as well.

then you have your shante, foxy brown, ms jade, eve, rah digga, lil kim, remy ma, left eye.

then you got your II tru, yoyo, charli baltimore, vita

im forgetting alot of people.

Based on skills, Lauryn, but her reign on the top was shorter than leprachauns.

Based on skills and overall career, I'm going with Missy Elliott, but I think the beats she rapped over have influenced my decision a lot. No female - hell, maybe no artist - had better beat selection than her. Shouts to Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Lil' Kim, and Foxy Brown.

you cant call somebody a goat for living off beats.

No she doesn't. She recited two bit Dupri penned Snoop Dogg bites.

this is poppy-cock. the idea that jermaine dupri wrote her raps doesnt even make sense.

and she could rap circles around snoop dogg. lets be reality.

Lauryn Hill the GOAT but Eve & Foxy Left Eye >>> the rest of them bytches

word to left eye.

im shocked that nobody mentioned ms jade.

She taught JD how to rap...

lauryn hill or lil kim. females rappers never seem to last, but those two @ their peaks>>>

lil kim is done. sorry to say. and her peak is fraudulent.
she should stop and get an acting career going or some shyt.
put down the mic.. walk. away. now.

 

[aRoMaN21]

oh... and at one time JAY Z thought Lady Sovereign was the best, goat possibility.

The way Lauryn spit after Blunted On Reality reminded me alot of Nas. It's ashame they never traded bars (If I Ruled The World and It Wasn't Me hook doesn't count) on a song.

My favorite Lauryn verse
Now I be breaking bread sipping
Manichevitz wine
Pay no mind party like it's 1999
But when it comes down to ground beef like Palestine
Say your rhymes, let's see if that get you out your bind
Now I'm a get the mozzarella like a Rockerfeller
Still be in the church of Lalibela, singing hymns a cappella
Whether posed in Maribella in Couture
Or collecting residuals from off The Score
I'm making sure I'm with the 144
I've been here before this ain't a battle, this is war
Word to Boonie
I makes a lot like a Sunni
Get diplomatic immunity in every ghetto community
Had opportunity went from Hoodshock to Hood-chic
But it ain't what you cop, it's about what you keep
And even if there are leaks, you can't capsize this ship
Cause I baptize my lips every time I take a sip (Every time i take
sips!)

I finally heard the MTV Unplugged album, and while I will have to be in a certain mood to listen to it again, she murdered Mystery of Iniquity, and exposed the devil industry. But none was paying attention.

Mystery of Iniquity = the lyrically illest track ever by a female

she explained the curse of cain being white flesh my dude


that and "freedom time" are better than 99.999% of the songs played on the radio since

 

[trillentyungsavage]

mia x

 

[Big Mel]

She taught JD how to rap...

He wrote the Kris Kross album. And he's a wack rapper.
