What's with the current surge of female rappers? Rap was more or less exclusively male until Lil' Kim in the late 90s. Now it seems every song has a female rapper. I'm streaming the Packer game and even the Samsung commercial features a female rapper.
While I feel it was popularized by Niki Manaj, female rappers have been forced upon us. Every goddamn song has a verse with a female rapper nowadays.
You've never heard of MC Lyte?
Female rappers back in the day were actually dope, the thing is, the game changed and decided that females weren't going to be behind the mic, instead they'd just be used as video eye candy.
These current female rappers you speak of aren't rappers, they're run-of-the-mill pop artists masquerading as rappers.
Funny you should mention MC Lyte. I heard this yesterday for the first time in a couple decades...lol.
Just listen to this with some volume...it is hard as hell.
Just incredible...she totally destroyed a competitor named Antoinette (since faded into obscurity)...
Now imagine hearing this at a club in 1989. Loud....
Styles change, and I get that, but I'm thinking that in a battle of pure talent, she could wipe the floor with Minaj.
