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

[oats]

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?

[Mr. J]

so you havent heard of Lauryn Hill?

[oats]

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

[Mr. J]

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


Missy Elliot?

[oats]

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

[oats]

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.

[Ghost1]

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

[oats]

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.

[Ghost1]

Lol dis niggah

[Inno]

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

[Ghost1]

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

[oats]

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.

[Ghost1]

This bitch got a few

[Destroyer]

lyte the best female mc to do it

[Mr. J]

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

[Witty]

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.

[Vulgar]

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

[timeless]

Bahamadia

[Mr. J]

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

[Allen Knight]

niggas forgot about foxy brown smh.

[Mr. J]

Excluded her due to her Reasonable Doubt verse being ghostwritten

[Certain]

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

[Inno]

niggas forgot about foxy brown smh.

Check again playa

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

The only acceptable answer is "who gives a shit"

[Adonis]

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.

[Adonis]

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

Lisa Leslie obviously

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.

[Barcotic]

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

lol nice

[Pharaohs Army]

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.

[Pharaohs Army]

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

[emcee squared]

NO LOVE FOR M.I.A., PAPER PLANES??

pharaohs army,
the group you are referring to, I remembered as The Juggaknots,
Peridot Smith...
Again, she may or may not have done the writing. But she caught your ear a few yrs ago on a song or 2.

Not in a top lyricist/ rapper listing, and not a full album selection--
so can't help you with the specific question, Quaker.

That chick's verse on that M.O.P. Ante Up song is pretty cool I always thought.

But again, these are individual songs or verses. Not albums. Rest of their things probly mediocre, comparatively.
Altho,

Was recently telling my cousin how that played-out Kelis Milkshake song has one of the best&most underrated hooks in music history.
Verses good in it too.
If she wrote it herself that's another good single for the list. Despite the radio overplay of it &the femininity of it.

[emcee squared]

Our own Silver has some h0t singles as well, on the real

Put your left up
right leg up
twerk
Shake that ass
do it with one cheek
two cheeks
go up on sealing
Bounce
go bruck it down

[emcee squared]

again, sorry not addressing Albums here for alll of these artists (mostly just good singles I suspect),

But i feel like quickly jotting a few names in no particular order, with little to no research on it.

Lauryn Hill, Eve, Nelly Furtado, Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, Foxy Brown, Missy Elliot, Mary J Blige, that chick on that Jay z track (has a couple sexually explicit lines early), that chick on that The Chronic track 14, some west oakland chick i recently heard on a youtube mix (dont know trackname), Trina, Remy Ma, a bunch of late 80s and early90s pioneery types which i'm not listing@the moment,

That's probably partly audio based, Oats, the list, not lyrical.. i am not familiar with a ton of female emcees but that is like my freestyle of what come to mind. needed spellcheck a couple times for names.

[Batty]

When I saw thread title I was like: WONDER IF ANYBODY WILL MENTION MC LYTE.

rep to NCGs

[PancakeBrah]

Gotta go with rah digga for sure her recent mixtape was bonkers for sure

[emcee squared]

forgot add Lil Kim, ken b dope even though shes trite sometimes
Thanks for typin some other nombres batty & pancake

[Objective]

Beside of those already posted I find Alyssa Marie to be pretty dope. Haven't really listened to a lot of her shit tbh but Train of Thought and Sweet Dream on the Heartbeat album is cool imo:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aYzaCtu2-w

[Pharaohs Army]

Lyricism aside...

Top 5 GENERAL (rapping/songs not lyrical depth)

Call me mainstream but it's like:
1-Nicki
2-Cardi, and kinda CLOSE I think
3-Lauren Hill
4-*Edit: Lady of Rage *That old-school chick on track 14 of Dre's first Chronic album
5-A bunnnch of old-school trailblazers, and newer chicks I haven't heard of

* Barcotic...just realized u were in this thread (old), and he goes last on this link

People keep Snow's name out their mouth because they know better.
F'real though. At her best, Snow is exactly that: THE BEST. Her features are monstrous- That verse on you don't really want it with Chris Webby and John Connor is straight up nasty. Probably the best ever switches I ever heard. Flow goddess...the bouncing between languages on her bzrp session? No see umz with Tech nine? Verse for verse she's a demon. But song for song, she does tend to lag.

Like, some of her songs don't really connect. But yeah, versewise, Snowie bodies.

Finally checked this...I've always loved Connor when I hear him...Webby, tbh, on the hook his voice a lil annoying,I could do it better than him BUT i think he has a verse here which is fine and I can't pick at...
Snoowww just convinced me early on in her verse....

She'd have to pop to 4)where I have Lady of Rage or 5)"everyone else"...

Still below Lauren, Cardi, Nicki...not as polished & "dynamic"...more multi-strinnging... BUT I guess if you're answering OATS original post she'd fit better!??....


Still have to check more Snow /old Bags and MrJ links etc...
