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
