Top 7 Female Emcees

Post by Jedisdope »

i know this is a cliche topic. i don't care if an emcee is a he or a she or a he/she, but i'm putting together a video about female rappers for a client and i wanted to get the opinion of this board. if you had to pick 7 of the best female rappers in terms of creativity, innovation, and longevity - who would they be?

For the record, from a stylistic standpoint, Lil' Kim is easily the G.O.A.T.

Strictly in terms of flow, Foxxy Brown bodies everyone else.

Lyrics-wise, it doesn't matter because no female rappers write their own lyrics. Ever.

And whoever that white chick was that called herself "Lark" or something like that and battled Blueprint at an ancient Scribble Jam and he called her a "cunt" and she fled the stage.

I think you're talkin' about Lionness (or it might be Lionesque). She did that track with Dose a long time ago and reunited on that Free Whoudini mixtape.
