What is your honest opinion of Queen Latifah's Rap legacy? :

[BlackDiBiase]

I think her in the MTV Yo Raps basement rhyming was hiphop iconography at its peak.

I like the UNITY record and a couple other joints and of course her roles in HouseParty2, Set if off, Fresh Prince and Barbershop.

I do not know her opinions about hiphop music these days but she has a longer movie catalogue than a music one at the moment.

Whats your honest take on hiphop's first Queen.

Has a place in time never graduated to global hip hop

Rap aside she did her thing

Oh sh1t I never looked at it like that.

I thought she would be revered a bit more in the music side.

I only ever heard Method Man and Beastie Boys big up Kool Moe Dee. Seems LL really did a number on him lol.

She is a great actress, I'm not certain but I think she would be disgusted about the state of Rap or at least the female Rappers. Especially since she was a pioneer trail blazing women's respect and placement behind the mic.

 

[Ziggiy]

She was talented and iconic for her era.


Her talent carried her farther than music and like Ice Cube, Will Smith, LL Cool J, and others she was destined for bigger things.

Oh yeah She is definitely in that upper echelon crowd.

 

[get these nets]

Good rap career and impact
Her first album was cool, and she had some decent singles here and there.
Best songs are Ladies First, Wrath of My Madness, UNITY, and Can't Forget New Jersey

She is from the DJ Red Alert and Flavor Unit family trees.

Was affiliated with FU and Native Tongues

And Naughty by Nature is directly from her family tree, as she helped to put them on.


Unique post rap career. She pivoted to tv/film like Will and LL, but has a legit career as an exec in management/production with her longtime business partner Shakim.
Check her producer/exec. producer imdb credits.

This is dope.

I never knew she helped Naughty By Nature. She has had a very impressive post rap career so She is officially done damn.

I just saw Ice Cube and Scarface release a new record called 'Act your age'. I think everyone is saying the deals are more lucrative in tv/film/execs look at 50 Cent lol.

Props on the detailed info, She has moved legendary.

The same way Nas was the new Rakim and Mobb Deep was the new EPMD, Lauryn Hill was the new Queen Latifah.
