What's the best/most lyrical album by a female MC?
 

I'm familiar with names like Jean Grae and Rah Digga, but never really listened to their solo work. What are some albums I should check out?

so you havent heard of Lauryn Hill?

@Mr. J I'm thinking more for technical lyricism. Hot take here: Lauryn Hill is an above average rapper, but a brilliant overall artist.

....Remy is pretty dope....at least I think so....I cant think of anyone else at the moment


Missy Elliot?

I feel like I need the expertise of @Certain, @Bags and @kannon here.

other names that I've thought of but never really listened to:
MC Lyte
Rapsody
Da Brat
Eve

I like Azealia Banks, though I'm not sure if I would consider her to be a really technical lyricist.

Rah digga-Dirty Harriet

An I am a better source for this type of information then kanon...smh

U go to kanon if u want a metro sexual mixtape

Don't ever fucking slight me again oatmeal

word, that's the title that keeps popping up on google searches etc. I'll give it a listen this weekend.

never took you to be the femcee type. I won't make that mistake again, oh baggy one.

Lol dis niggah

Lmao metro sexual mixtape just rolls off the tongue tho

@oatmeal check out lil Kim hardcore.

Now that I'm thinking about it.

Any foxy brown tbh, she's pretty dope

China doll I believe is her best album I'm not sure tho

Word foxy, lil kim, Mc lyte, Remy ma all can spit...rah digga the most rugged tho

eh, I'm not into Foxy Brown or Lil Kim. Only so many times I can listen to them rap about sucking dicks and shit.

This bitch got a few

lyte the best female mc to do it

Rapsody was another one but I figured you only wanted big names

I think female emcees are, for the most part, fucking awful and there really isn't one within the last decade I care about tbh.

Not gonna hate them just because they're female, but also not gonna like them just because they're female...I think the standard is really low. I'm sure there are some who can spit and make dope music tho, and am always willing to have my mind changed.

Jean Grae has a classic track, "Don't Rush Me."

Bahamadia

Shawna gets slept on for the most part...




also Eve had a great album..I cant remember what it was called but it was early 2000 I think

forgot about this chick...repped

I cant remember anything besides this but Lil Mama snapped on this

niggas forgot about foxy brown smh.

Excluded her due to her Reasonable Doubt verse being ghostwritten

Jean Grae's Jeanius (produced by 9th Wonder) is my favorite other than The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Check again playa

Invincible.

This thread is like asking whos the best woman basketball player with the best jumpshot

The only acceptable answer is "who gives a shit"

What's the best/most lyrical album by a female MC?



100% honesty, I don't think I have ever purchased a female leading album beside Lauryn Hill

someone gave me a Missy CD when CD's were still around, it was cool.

Or paige van zandt vs. michelle nunes
or pretty much any mighty mouse fight

Lisa Leslie obviously

Cheryl Miller will forever be the best female basketballer ever


true story

Denial

Angel Haze has some gems

Yo, yo, yo, yo, baby-pop
Yeah, you come here, gimme a kiss
Better make it fast or else I'm gonna get pissed
Can't you hear the music's pumpin' hard like I wish you would?
Now push it

...
Boy, you really got me going
You got me so, I don't know what I'm doing
I was trying to troll a little with Salt'N'Pepp, but let's be honest: Is this couplet above Not kind of genius?
I mean I swear to god it doesn't rhyme normally but it might even be better in text than audio.

hate on me for pointing out snoop's lack of lyricism n make a thread about lyrical women

lol nice

Yeah I'm not sure about a female technical/lyrical geniuses that comes to mind.
But Lauryn Hill is definitely a great female rapper

What's that Brother&sister act?
I think she's pretty dope but the name is escaping me
But maybe her brother wrote some of her lyrics (is that sexist to say?)
Think they call themselves something that starts with a D
Like the kind of songs I would get on a pandora station years ago
At least One of you will know who I'm talking about. And I'd have to hear some songs to make any sort of claim about her, but I know she caught my ear..

Basketball Breanna Stewart is really good for a girl.. she's not ultraquick but pretty vicious shotblocking, and seems she can get any shot she wants.
Not sayin she the best, and of course playing for the best team helps, vs. college girls not pros, guess we'll see how she does in the WNBA
And by that I mean 10 second clips on sportscenter while we're trying to watch highlights of other things.

If i had the rapping skills of nicki minaj I'd be dropping some dope albums.
Interpret that however you wish.

the amount of stupid contained in this response does not end at the fact that I made this thread before poking fun at your comment.

take a joke and keep it moving, good sir.

You let your troll down. Here you could have gone full troll and really got under his skin.


We're going to need you to step it up a little. But we love you're honesty
