What happened to Iggy?

Very deservingly fell out of the limelight. Her skills at rapping were very poor. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with her if she hasn't grown so popular and been given so many (in my opinion) underserved award nominations.

 

[see5harp]

MIA is one of the best

I will always give her props for the overall sound and her style but she's like bottom tier female rapper.

 

[LionPride]

Noname off the drugs
Noname quit the weed
Telefone delight
Love is all I need
My honeybee red black and green
Majestic queen
This for my homies; my umi say love

Noname is great!

I gotta mention Azealia Banks too. No matter how insane she is she still got fucking talent

Azealia. Banks. Had. So. Much. Goddamn. Talent. Fuck.

 

[nicanica]

Only one post for Foxy Brown?

Good lord.

Put this song on a hot pan, make some goddamn pancakes on that shit, so smooth.

 

[4 is a cutie]

MIA is one of the best

I wouldnt call her a "good rapper", but she's a great artist

 

[rmt92]

Gangsta Boo! Saw her live opening for Run the Jewels. She was great.

Azealia. Banks. Had. So. Much. Goddamn. Talent. Fuck.

There's an alternate universe where Azealia got her mental health issues checked, got her shot together and killed the music game because she is undeniably talented...Broke With Expensive Taste was one of the best albums that year.

I'm 300% positive my mom and I bumped this last year on a Trick Daddy binge

There's an alternate universe where Azealia got her mental health issues checked, got her shot together and killed the music game because she is undeniably talented...Broke With Expensive Taste was one of the best albums that year.

I have never selfishly wanted someome to get better so bad in my life, but I wants that music

iCarly

Shooters like animals this ain't Jumaji
Ain't talkin if it ain't bout the money
You broke as a joke boy that shit is not funny
Wrist shining man you thought it was sunny
Kick yo ass out just like I was a punter
My niggas keep weapons like they some damn hunters
Say that money talk but yours only mumble
I flip the mattress like its pissy or something
Map it out like I'm Jigga or something
Niggas be geeked like I fucked em or something
Stay in the streets gotta get that free money
These bitches on me like I'm giving em money
In the trap with my white bitch
Cause she gone get me rich, that bitch so gnarly
They ask if I'm sober and I'm like hardly
Bitch! I am not a Barbie
I am a Bratz bitch
I got them big lips, yeah
Watch it drip drip, yeah
I'm so lit bitch, yeah
Tell a hoe get a grip quick
Niggas fake but I'm doing big shit

With my bitch iCarly
With my bitch iCarly
With my bitch iCarly
Swear that she so gnarly
With my bitch iCarly, iCarly, iCarly
With my bitch iCarly
Swear that she so gnarly

Reminisce Mackie hadn't been mentioned at all in this thread? She's killing it right now.

 

[EMT0]

Off the top of my head, Missy Elliot is a legend in every sense of the word.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

I like:

Lauryn Hill
Noname
Snow
Nicki (Sometimes)
Missy Elliot
Remy Ma

Can't say I've heard of most of the others, or I don't really care for their music

 

[Koozek]

Never listened to as many female MCs as last year. Noname and Little Simz had two of my AOTYs last year.

Noname - Telefone
https://soundcloud.com/noname/sets/telefone

Little Simz - Stillness In Wonderland
https://soundcloud.com/littlesimz/sets/stillness-in-wonderland


Also cool:

Princess Nokia - 1992
https://soundcloud.com/destiny-frasqueri/sets/1992a

Kodie Shane - Little Rocket
https://soundcloud.com/kodieshane/sets/littlerocket

Kodie Shane - Big Trouble Little Jupiter
https://soundcloud.com/kodieshane/sets/big-trouble-little-jupiter


Bahamdia had some dope tracks (loved the one with Dilla) back in the day.

 

[LionPride]

Remy Ma on Wait a Minute, Push It, and All the Way Up is good

 

[royalan]

Since we're going to spare some kind words for Azealia Banks, she really had the talent to be one of the best to do it.

Licorice is probably one of the hotest tracks of the last 10 years, and kicked off a recent trend of rapper spitting over 90s house beats.

Hey, I'm the licorice bitch
You know I'm looking for these niggas if these niggas is rich

Seriously, half the dudes getting hyped today couldn't touch this track.


And Jumanji is damn nice flow that showed Azealia could ride pretty much ANY beat.

DAMN I get so fucking mad thinking about her. Male or female, FEW rappers could handle her.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Eve, how no one mentioned her yet? She is probably the goat, I will need to think about it more though.

She ain't close to the greatest female rapper

Also just listened Gavlyn, shes pretty smooth. Needed this thread to learn about some new artists

What's Charli Baltimore up to these days?

 

[parrotbeak]

Here's more MC Lyte since I am now streaming her songs on youtube

I Am The Lyte
Like A Virgin
2 Young 4 What
Brooklyn
Cold Rock a Party

 

[TickleMeElbow]

Leikeli47 has that Missy vibe going on which I like.

 

[Syphon Filter]

She ain't close to the greatest female rapper

How you figure?

 

[4 is a cutie]

Liked her verse in Mean What I Mean

 

[LionPride]

How you figure?

Better female rappers than her

I'd take Missy, Noname, Remy, Kim, Nicki, and Azaliea on talent alone

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Lack of Queen Latifa in the OP is kinda shocking, TBQH.

She made the pathway for everyone mentioned in the OP.

 

[The Kree]

What's Charli Baltimore up to these days?

Nothing worthwhile.

 

[DasPenguin]

Nicki... sigh. You think Drake is one of the greatest male rappers? Nicki has no business being on any list that measures greatness.

I literally said off of talent. She has a fuck ton of talent

And don't you ever, ever, insult me by asking if I think Drake is one of the greatest male rappers

Nicki is ok at best, I wouldn't say she is talented lol.

i died when little brother had that track talkin about doing this hood classic on an open mic night

There's an alternate universe where Azealia got her mental health issues checked, got her shot together and killed the music game because she is undeniably talented...Broke With Expensive Taste was one of the best albums that year.

i kept hearing y'all say this & went in with no expectations, and it really was a solid album

What's Charli Baltimore up to these days?

crazy to think she was gonna be in a supergroup album with big & jay, mannn that would've either been fire or a Firm level disappointment

 

[LionPride]

Nicki is ok at best, I wouldn't say she is talented lol.

No, she's very talented. There are hints of it, but she ain't had a good project yet

 

[Anung]

Noname and Jean Grae are who I've been listening to recently. Noname has stayed on loop since that album dropped its so good.

Why do people not appreciate the Minnesota scene? Doomtree is where it's at.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

No, she's very talented. There are hints of it, but she ain't had a good project yet

Agreed. She can spit and her delivery is theatrical and actually potentially awesome, but she pisses away and records utter shit like Anaconda (probably one of the worst fucking rap songs ever).
