Go-Getta Girls Unite for Bedrock Remix

So you guys know I'm all for female unity and variety in the game.

One of my FAVORITE (under appreciated) female rappers for yeeeeeaaarrrssss now Miss Rasheeda the Georgia Peach tapped a couple of her homies to put together the Bedrock Remix:




It looked like fun times on the set for sure.

I'm going to need Toya to cut it out with the rapping, "Gumbo Baby" lol.... okay. And I actually like the girl Lola Monroe's verse. I like her as an artist (checked some of her work out some months ago on youtube and was impressed). I think she has a story to tell... well I guess time will tell with her.

So.......................... what do you guys think?

SPOTLIGHT: Mz. Streamz

Okay so I know I always talk the most ish about there not being any rappers in the game right now repping for the ladies. So I figure what better way than to do my part in helping this issues than to start spotlighting female artists that I think deserve to have more noteriety.

The first artist to be featured in the "Spotlight" is a femme fatale that I ran across in my daily youtube travels.

Her name is Mz. Streamz and while I'm sure not 1 New Yorker has EVER heard of her she is most deifinitely making a name for herself in her hometown of B-more as well as in ciphers all along the East coast.

In the below footage Mz. Streamz discusses why she thinks there's a barrier preventing female Emcee's from getting in the game:



"Proteges and creations never make it far"


She is the first ever female grand prize winner of 92Q's freestyle battle. Mz. Streamz won all 6 weeks in a row to earn her place at the top!!
Here's a taste of how she was giving it to them dudes week after week.... shorty goes hard!:




So what do you guys think about her? Does she have skills and that special something it takes to make it big in the industry?

Just don't forget where you heard about her first! Read more!

Go-Getta Girls UNITE!!

Ok so like I was saying the other day in the post about Nikki, I hate the fact that it seems like only 1 rap chick gets to shine at a time.

Well I guess Luda felt the same way as he made it his business to unite some of the "badest" chicks in the game on one track.

Here's the video for the "My Chick Bad" remix:





I have to be honest and say that I think the ladies could have come a little harder but I definitely think Eve's verse was the best and Diamond wasn't too bad herself. Why does Trina always sound the same to me.... :/ (I don't think I've ever heard 1 good punchline from her)

anywho... what do you guys think? Read more!

This is why I love Hip-Hop!!

She's not the first to ever do it and she's definitely not the last. Baltimore rapper Keys is expressing her dislike (ok maybe hatred lol) for all the kids' favorite new femme fatale, Ms. Nikki Minaj.

Now I've already posted my feelings towards NM. I truly appreciate the shot of life/excitement/newness she's given to the female rap game and yes while I do cringe at some of her work I do also find her grind and business savy impressive. And yes much of her lyrics even quotable at times!!

Shes different from what's come before (in terms of delivery - not content) and I just miss having solid female artists in rotation.

I say this all the time, there are tons of male rappers in the game, some wack some nice, but for the most part they get in where they fit in and that's how we get variety in the music that's out there. We can hear an animated Luda record (never realized how much Nikki flows like him until "My Chick Bad") and at the same time we can get a Brooklyn fly guy flow from Fab.... with a splash of southern swag from Jeezy, etc.

When it comes to the females it's always a choice. It's like there's a 1 chick in the game at a time rule or something.

Long gone are the days of Foxy, Kim, Eve, Trina all having records out at the same time.

:(

But back to the issue at hand... it was only a matter of time before "the streets" spoke up on how MAAANNNNNYYYYY listeners feel out there. No surprise that it took a B-More broad (luv them) to put Nikki's antics on blast and take shots directly at her head.

I'm feeling Keys and honestly the girl can spit. Yeah yeah she's a bit outta shape and can work on her breathing skills but who isn't outta shape these days lmao! (Thats another topic)

Hip-hop was built on the conceopt of the "battle-rap" so it's only natural that females would come for Nikki's head (especially because she's on that whole plastic/fake barbie tip). Another thing hip-hop thrives on is authenticity and "realness". Yes Nikki is from the streets and only blew up through her unrelenting grind BUT her direction has comepletely gone left from that cute, relatable around the way girl from Queens that just wanted to live out her dreams -- to -- in her words the rap Miley Cyrus.

like really....

Just check out the footage and you tell me what you think. Is shorty jus a mad hater, on the corner with nothing better to do than sweat Nikki and film a fanatical video spewing hatred -OR- is this a valid lyrical rapper expressing her disgust at the bubblegum barbie bullsh*t that has taken over the game and brainwashed the kiddies?

I side with the latter.





Every day I hear people "hating" on Nikki Minaj. And I use that term hating losely because in this day and age you can't state an honest opposing opinion without being considered a "hater". But anyway thats another story as well....

I say more power to Keys. If this is the beginning of her own come up then so be it. Not only was Nikki's most reputable poster to date a replica of lil Kim's Hardcore album cover but Nikki herself did not hesitate to bash Kim & Foxy along her rise to the top.

All I know is Hip Hop aint dead!!
