[Dubversion]

Missy rules - surprised there's so much reticence about naming her. Album after album of sustained excellence

to be fair I think Missy being the best female rapper ever is a given

Hmm best female producer too??

i didn't think she self-produced much?

 

[art of fact]

if she was still alive i would of said she was pretty shit... but out of respect...

Missy definitely gets the prize for the best all rounder.

I just found this hunting about youtube. No ladies in it but it's still fucking great:

Why don't women rap like this?

 

[Bazza]

No-one said MC Lyte yet?

OK, MC Lyte.

"I wanna ruffneck"

Dimples - Sucker DJ. Anyone remember that?

Oh Milesy. You're taking the piss now.

Bad Milesy...

 

[art of fact]

yeah i forgot mc lyte she is probably up there as the best "mc" in terms of old skool sense she had good flow n lyrics... i forgot da brat n all she has done she good stuff

what happened to floetry n all.. was alot of hype around them a few years ago

 

[tarannau]

To be fair, MC Lyte kind of burst out with Bad as I wanna be.... and then got steadily worse for years and years.

I hear her Gangstarr stuff was alright, but she always seemed average at best.

 

[jugularvein]

uffie hasn't mentioned yet. she's pretty er... no nonsense

[Bazza]

She did a good song with Patra.

 

[milesy]

Oh Milesy. You're taking the piss now.

Bad Milesy...

[Flavour]

you've all missed out the best female rappers from the UK

c-mone and tempa from OUT DA VILLE!! (lesser mention to sophie hill)

FROM NOTTS!!! hahaha! who woulda guessed

 

[Bazza]

Lil Kim's first album was good. Mainly because I loved this lyric on the first track (I was a kid)

"I used to be scared of the dick
Now I throw lips to the shit
Handle it like a real bitch"

 

[Dubversion]

if you were talking female MCs / singjays whatever in dancehall, you'd be in luck.. Lady Saw, Tanya Stephens, Patra,

 

[Flavour]

has anyone mentioned foxy brown yet

and if not

why not

 

[tarannau]

She did a good song with Patra.

i've got a Patra album at home. What a waste of a CD case that was. Couple of songs, but you'd be pushing it with the hip hop definition.

Who was that lil' female rapper who worked with Public Enemy for a while?

 

[Dubversion]

For Oh Yeah alone, she has a permanent place in my heart

 

[Flavour]

i know dub, me too mate

I was referring to the song she did with MC Lyte. 'Romantic call' I think it was called.

in a sensible world, that would have been number one for about a year. Just a blindin' tune

Honestly, one of the best MCs I've seen in recent years, male or female, was a wiry little MC who played with Soul II Soul a couple of years back. Thin frame, gravelly voice, can of Stella in hand, smiling air of menace. No idea if she could hold a show on her own, but if you ever see a MC called Chickadee you should be in for a treat

 

[miss giggles]

I love MC Lyte. I used to listen to "paperthin" every morning on my way to school.

She MCs with some breaks acts. Think it's Evil 9.

Have heard good things about her before ... or am I thinking off MC Chickaboo ...?

 

[Negativland]

The album Diamond Princess by Trina is up there with Lil Kim and Missy's best.
