My Mic Check Sounds #Niccceee


Where shall I begin on my love for hip-hop. Seems like only yesterday I was holding a hair brush to mouth spewing Foxy rhymes and bopping back and forth as if I was Kim herself. I grew up in the 90's some debate and say the best era of hip-hop. Indeed besides the 80's the best era for females in  hip-hop. Along with arguing whose better Foxy or Kim I never analyzing and disecting that there is and always has been a male force behind every female mc for the most part. MC Lyte and Queen Latifah held their own but even so they had to adapt to treading water in a male dominated profession. Why is it almost every female mc is a carbon copy of their male counter parts.

Foxy could be matched to that of a female Jay despite her direct link to Nas and the Firm. Kim is a direct sculpture of what Biggie wanted to be brought to life and the hip-hop industry. Non the less lets not forget Nicki.. who sounds like a high pitched Lil Wayne who just happens to have a vagina. Women with in hip-hop fight tooth and nail to own their spot and title with the industry. Not to mention having to argue down rumors and tales of who they had to screw to signed. When will women with in hip hop bring women back to the forefront and with out the co-sign of a man...
