Inspirational Hip Hop albums and the albums that inspire Hip Hop

The shortage of women in Hip Hop has been terrible.  There has been a lack of women even wanting to rap, and when you find them, they’re not that good.  Back in Hip Hop’s hey day there female rappers weren’t as prevalent as males, but there seemed to be plenty.  Sha Rock, Pebbley Poo, Lisa Lee, Sequence, MC Lyte, Salt and Peppa, Hurricane G, Roxxane Shante and so on.  Now it seems like there are so few, Nicky Minaj, Lil Kim (who fell off so bad), Trina, Foxy Brown (also fell off), Remy Ma after that, who?  Well this shortage of female rappers has me combing Myspace Music and other sites for some lyrical Queens.  Here I found one that like, Tina, straight from Chicago.  Chicago know for it’s own Hip Hop history so you would imagine some good product comes from there.  Check her Myspace page, listen to her music and read her bio below and let me know what you think.  I think I’ve told you before, I think Chicago women are hot!  I’ve checked out her songs and they sound nice, check for yourself.

Foxy Boogie Brown is back with a new single “Let Em Know” featuring Easy Mo Bee and Bam.  Song sounds OK, some ol’ Foxy Brown rap style, not too bad, but nothing to write home about.  But what stands out on the track is her diss of Lil Kim talking about her selling out and going on Dancing with the stars.  Here’s the verse, “I’d rather be in the club at the bar, then go disrespect my hood by dancing with the stars… I’m BK’s Don Diva/ Give the whole hood face lifts/ G’wan I fix your face b—-.”  Good one Fox, but why did she disrespect BK by appearing on Dancing With the Stars?  Then she raps about Jay Z, “The streets talking/ Got the hood crazy,” N—- heard I fucked with Ross and had the n—- baby/ They said I f—– with Nas and now they say it’s AZ/ but on the law, the real n—- was Jay-Z.  Oh she put her and Jay Z’s business out in the streets, why we’ll never know, I guess to sell records.  Check out the song below….
