    Female MCs: Who is the Lady G.O.A.T.?

    For over 3 decades men have ruled the hip hop empire with an iron fist.  The male dominated fraternity has made little room for the ladies during its existence.  Even though, women have been a part of hip hop since its induction, they weren’t (aren’t) seen on an equal plateau as their male counterparts.  However there are
    females whom have kicked in the door, broken into and tattooed their name right on the chest of hip hop.  Those pioneering women came into the game demanding respect – and got it.  Roxanne Shante, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah and Salt & Pepper are some of the ladies that have left a permanent mark on the industry and paved the way for the sisters.  I’m writing this editorial as an ode to the women of hip hop.  We hear people discussing “who’s the Greatest of all time (G.O.A.T.) in rap” and we only talk about the fellas.  So now I’ve decided to pose the question publicly, who is the “Lady G.O.A.T.?” I’ve included “my” top 3
    female MC candidates along with lyrical samples as to why they reign supreme in my Queendom.

    #1.  Lauryn Hill

    “I play my enemies like a game of chess, where I rest, no stress, see we don’t smoke cess, less – I must confess, my destiny manifest, it’s in Gore-tex and sweats, I make treks like I’m homeless”

    -Ready or Not

    “It’s funny how money changes situation, miscommunication, leads to complication, my emancipation don’t fit your equation, I was on the humble – you on every station”

    -Lost One

    #2.  MC Lyte

    “When you say you love me it doesn’t matter, it goes into my head as just chit chatter, you may think it’s egotistical or just worry free, but what you say I take none of it seriously”

    -Paper Thin

    “Must I say it again – I said it before, move out the way when I’m coming through the door, me heavy? As light as a rock, guys watch and even some of the girls clock”

    -Lyte as a Rock

    #3.  (tie)

    Lil Kim   

    “Niggas – better grab a seat, grab on your d**k as this b**ch gets deep, deeper than the p**sy of a b**ch six feet”

    -Get Money

    “Wanna rumble bee (huh)? Bzzz throw a hex on the whole family, dressed in all black like omen, have your friends singing misses for my homie”

    -All about the Benjamins

    Foxy Brown

    “Yo, NaNa so ill, first week out shipped a half a mil, n**gas freak out, she’s all about sex – pardon check your facts, and the track record I’m all about plaques”

    -Ill NaNa

    “Hold up let’s take it from the top I Fox, gets my swerve on floss pure rocks, in the 6 drop Boo and it don’t stop, see money looking alright yeah – what up Pop”

    -Gotta Get You Home Tonight

    These are my top female MCs for the simple fact that they’ve all were able to hold their own (if not outshine) their male competitors.  MC Lyte was able to rap amongst the greatest of pioneers and earn equal respect, hence the MC at the beginning of her name.  Kim and Foxy came out around the same era and has had their issues but they are BOTH dope MCs and have their own ways of fusing sexiness, gangstress and content to be on a many of top female MCs lists.  Last but certainly not least is my candidate for Lady G.O.A.T., Ms. Lauryn Hill.  Lauryn just is the complete package, the whole damn show
    some might say.  She’s a lyricist, singer, poet, philosopher and mother – to me, she is the female equivalent to Tupac Shakur.  This is my (E. Smith) opinion but I would like to know yours, this one is for the ladies, it’s time to give credit where credit is due?  So I ask again – Who is the Lady G.O.A.T.?
