As far as female mcees go, it never got any better then early MC Lyte for me, her voice was great, totally looked like any girl from the neighborhood. Cha Cha Cha, %10 diss and paper thin was the shit, and her battle with Antoinette was another classic mc battle. I will always be a Marley and Juice crew fan…The symphony is an all time classic! Even though Shan was absolutely terrible, Project Ho was a great song…Im still looking for his single called Feed the World, in which KRS says the classic line “you got dropped off MCA cuz the rhymes you wrote were wack!” Cant find that shit anywhere.
Craig G was a great freestyler and was super underrated…he destroyed supernatural years ago.
But what both you guys say is true, these guys were products of the enviornment and while what they wore or did or spoke of was nothing new to them it was new to everyone else…shit I had no Idea of Crunk and all that other shit…sipping on cough syrup or whatever you guys did lol.[/quote]
Promethazine aka syrup aka drank, aka a whole bunch of other silly names. It’s basically liquid codeine. That’s what quite a few local rappers od’d on, including Pimp C of UGK. Speaking of female mc’s I saw a chcik named Psalm 1 open up for people under the stairs and shew blew the roof off the building. Bought whatever cd was at the show and it was dope. Hands down the best female mc I’ve heard, but that was at least 3 years ago. Have no idea what or if she’s done anything since.
I reckon some of this conversation surrounding status such as “most influential” is unnecessary. Its unnecessary because as with many other areas, whether it be sport, academia or what have you, the earliest works tend to be upheld as the “most important” or potent. Thats why RUN DMC, Tribe and etc with will be held to that degree.
In my opinion nothing dominated 90s hip hop like Dr. Dre and his G-Funk. Dre, Nate Dogg, Ice Cube, Snoop and co killed it up.
Oh yeah she is a definite carpet muncher along with Queen Latifah and Monie Love…LADIES FIRST! LOL
