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

oats · 04-12-2016, 01:03 AM

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?

oats · 04-12-2016, 02:40 AM

@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 · 04-12-2016, 03:08 AM

....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.

oats · 04-12-2016, 04:38 AM

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.

oats · 04-12-2016, 08:31 AM

lyte the best female mc to do it

Mr. J · 04-12-2016, 11:47 AM

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

Witty · 04-12-2016, 01:07 PM

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.
