Women of Hip-Hop
In this sexist world we live in, it isn’t easy to find due credit to the females in Hip-Hop. From the respectable to the nasty, there are plenty of women in Hip-Hop that have made a huge mark in the rap world and beyond.
Because of the nature of a woman, it’s easier for a female rapper to blend in with the acting world or to do professional commercials than it is for male rappers who tend to be covered with tattoos.
Off the top of my head, the first female rappers that I think of are: Roxanne Shante, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Salt N Pepa, Yo-Yo, Da Brat, Lauryn Hill, Lil Kim, Missy Elliot, Shawna, Foxy Brown, Trina, Eve….
Notice the caliber of beauty before your eyes as well people!
