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.

while on topic, did somebody save those biggie things where he lays out kim's rhymes. they were disturbing and hilarious

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.
