Lyrical Misses

In the rap/hip-hop game, the female emcee doesn't get nearly enough credit for their flow. In all honesty, the female lyricist, at times, brings it better than some of the dudes do. Well tonight, this is about those ladies who bring the game to their knees with the words they spit from their tongue.

First off, startin with the Mama of the No Limit Family: Mia X. Mama Mia as she was affectionately called, she always had a good verse on everyone else's cd, but when she released her album "Unlady Like", to me, she solidified herself as a lyricist. Here's my favorite song from that cd - Let's Get It Straight.



She let it be known that No Limit was about more than just P, Silkk and C Murder. She announced herself to the world as not just a featured artist, but that she could drop a CD and it be just as tight as others in the No Limit Family.

Next up, the madame of the The Fugees: Lauryn Hill or L-Boogie. Now I know I already did a post about her, but there was one song that I didn't include in that post, and that one song actually fits into this post. (Good job me...*high five*).



Lauryn is so cold because not only can she rap, but she can sing as well. So it works when you can incorporate both in the same song BY YOURSELF. Very few people can do that...and nobody in today's times can even attempt to do this. You gotta give her props on that one. I just need her to come back...We need you Lauryn!

Last but not least, even though she's changed over time, her early years with Bad Boy made Lil' Kim a force to be reckoned with. Kim was raunchy as hell, but she made it sound easy as hell to describe how she could still be a lady while doin some things that I won't mention on here. lol. Example A, B, and C right here:



My all time favorite song by Kim. She kept it real and raw, and nobody could keep it 100 like this all the while still gaining respect from the industry for being a lyrical emcee. As B.I.G.'s protege, she learned a lot from another great rapper. I wish she would revert back to those days as well.

These 3 ladies put these wannabes of today's times to shame. Maybe they need to hold a workshop to let these breezies know that what they THINK they are doing can't hold a candle to what a REAL emcee of the female gender should be doing. I got a few suggestions on who SHOULD attend. LOL
