So I've been listening to Jean Grae all day whilst cleaning, and thinking about female rappers. I don't listen to a lot of female singers, but one thing that I really respect is women who can rap. That being said, one of the things that I dislike the most in the music industry are women who /can't/ rap and insist on doing so anyways (Lady Sovereign) or who turn it into disgusting autotuned pop (I'm looking at you, Nicki).
Good female rappers are a lot harder to find, not only because there are fewer of them but also because there are so many terrible ones that it makes it harder for the good ones to actually become famous. So are you a fan of Missy, Eve, MC Lyte from way back in the day or someone else? If you don't listen to rap at all, or enough to form an opinion, then tell me about your perception of the genre! Having perspectives from outside observers would be great.
