  1. Lauryn Hill in tha 90′s >

  2. jean grae
    /game

  3. how bout you stop bein a bitch and put up the lupe jam?

  4. I don’t wish there were more femcees, I’m sexist as fuck and I think women rappers sound like shit. They don’t sufficiently stimulate my audio pallet.

  5. It baffles me how there hasn’t been a single female mc to make me go “DAMN” yet, except at their ass, a shame too.

  6. Jean Grae or Lauryn

  7. Fucking right.

  8. How you post that Lupe!!!!!

  9. there are plenty of female rappers..(Invincible, Boog Brown, Jean Grae, Rapsody etc) do some research

  10. medusa….

  11. -refuses to listen to females try to rap-

  12. Jean Grae’s album with 9th Wonder was dope.

  13. get that new lupe!!! Dope. Lasers. There still is a chance.

  14. ^ sorry. song is titled “The Shoe Goes On”

  15. ^ Dammit. *Show. (Putting down the herbs)

  16. the new lupe songs sucks so stfu

  17. Eternia Wuddup!

  18. sup wit dat lupe track cuzh

  19. Lupe “Even if they ban us, they’ll never slow my plans up”

    OWWWWW!!!

  20. Quit fucking flooding posts with your stupid bullshit. When they post it, they’ll post it. Fucken Christ.

  21. In other news: Thanks for the article, Meka. Most of the comments in this post are pretty awful, to say the least, and general and disrespectful as fuck but what can ya do?

    Just as it’s the fault of listeners for not seeking female emcees and record companies for not backing female emcees, a lot of these women need to stop rapping about their own pussy and wanting to use a man for all he’s worth. As a woman, I really can’t relate to that, nor do I WANT to. All the mainstream female emcees that women look to to, “represent us” are, while talented in their own right, laughable (Trina, Diamond, Khia lol, etc) and as much as I hate to admit it, I can see where SOME men are coming from when they say they can’t relate. Fuck, I can’t relate either. It’s when comments go from an objective standpoint to just a sexist one that I think people’s arguments are nullified. I don’t think Nicki Minaj is a HORRIBLE representation of women, although her whole shtick is Barbie, but I know for a fact there are better ones that are just waiting to shine.

  22. Signif .bandcampcom << She's got some dope shit for real

  23. Hey Stephanie, stfu. No one wants to hear your bullshit.

  24. This must be your first day on The Internet; On The Internet, we all hear each other’s bullshit whether we want to or not. Welcome.

  25. to be a famous female musician, you gotta be beautiful…simple as that. also, you gotta start out being who you wanna be for the rest of your career. either the respectable typa woman or a slut. and everyone wants to be famous so they take the easy road (rapping about being a slut). and as soon as they put out one slutty song, the label will make them BE THAT forever. it’s a shame really….

    i mean, lauren hill, rah digga, and jean grae are good enough for me…

    anyone remember Amil? from roc-a-fella records? she was pretty good til i saw what she looked like in a music video…yikes. couldn’t listen to her again…

  26. I listen to lots of female emcees (mostly from back in the day) but overall I just don’t like most of the newer ones. My main problem with female rappers is well they tend to follow 1 of 2 molds I can’t stand. Type A) The sex bomb, fashion label droppin’, my pussy’s the bomb, I make niggas trick chick. Or the overly masculine, chip on her shoulder, men are holding me down, lesbo-femme nazi type…that raps with a voice deep as Darth Vader and spends an uncomfortable amount of time grabbing her invisible dick…
    I said all that to say this, I miss MC Lyte, Queen Latifa,Lauryn Hill, Ladybug Mecca,& Bahamadia. Shoot even Kim/Foxy in proper form are light years ahead of the current crops. I can’t stand the Nicki Minaj’s of the world, nor can I stand the Eternia’s of the world.

  27. LUPE>any female emcee. Period.

  28. The Show Goes On BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!

  29. Lol @ stephanie you tryna get with meka or somethin? Smh

  30. lol stephanie shitted on you, brah.

  31. Jean Grae all day! She is amaazing.. I’m loving that Eternia/Moss album, but i think it’s more about the beat selection.. Some damn fine production…

  32. MISSY ELLIOT!!!!!

    Where’s that Lupe you whiny little bitch?

  33. Cosign JonesDeini. The problem is there isn’t enough female emcees that not only have relatable content but that sound like a women and have MIC PRESENCE. At times even Jean Grae fails to command my attention on a track, often times her vocals get swamped by the beat. That’s why people sing Foxy, Lauryn, MC Lyte and Lil Kim’s praises because you could actually hear what they’re saying, hell even Nikki has it. What’s the point of me listening to something if I’m struggling to hear what you have to say?

  34. I feel like spamming like @bon
    LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE LUPE

    since it was deleted let’s bring it back.

    FREE LUPEFREE LUPEFREE LUPEFREE LUPEFREE LUPEFREE LUPEFREE LUPEFREE LUPEFREE LUPE

  36. meka you should be happy I no longer assail your sexuality. speakin the truth on the situation got old. dude tried to slip me ghb once. :( :(

  37. Meka as A female rapper, I can tell you more than one occasion when I emailed you music, and I’m sure you never listened. I’m not taking shots or anything, but I find it a little unnerving when you said you purposely scan your emails looking for female rappers.

  38. WASALU niggaaaa!

  39. ^Real talk

  40. Sampled modest mouse on the new Lupe track.

  41. RT @FemaleRapper Meka as A female rapper, I can tell you more than one occasion when I emailed you music, and I’m sure you never listened. I’m not taking shots or anything, but I find it a little unnerving when you said you purposely scan your emails looking for female rappers.

    ^^^^^ SHES CALLING YOU OUT MEKA YOU BETTER POST HER MUSIC ON HERE I’M TRYING TO HERE IT

  42. MEKA ALL THE FEMALES HATE YOU SON…U TRIED TO SLIP @BON GHB WTF?! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU MAN! BURN IN HELL

  43. Female rapper < tbh i dont think meka listens to much of the music he gets emailed, how often do u see brand new artists on here anymore? might be underground but its the same bunch of em..back in the day there was more fresh blood on this site

  44. LUPE!! 2dopeboyz notchin an epic fail on this one!

  45. @Man that’s probably because the new artists that send him music suck donkey balls, it’s not his fault he doesn’t get quality UG music.

  46. ^why you defending Meka with assumptions?

  47. Why are you accusing Meka with your assumptions?

  48. I don’t care who is a male vs a female rapper in the game, as long as she or he is good. I wont listen to a wack female rapper just because she’s a woman, nor would I ignore a good female rapper because she’s a woman. If girls dont wanna rap, they dont wanna rap. End.

  49. @Gordon B. what did I accuse him of? Nothing. But the fact that a female emcee did email him music and he didn’t post it, does make him look bad..me and you don’t know the reasoning, but you’re the 1 that jumped to conclusions

  50. Gordon B< no doubt alot of em must suck ass..but alot of the posts are trash anyway (no offence 2dbz) but its the SAME OLD trash , im sure theres gotta b one new email of talent? i hope?

    Meka u shud get "FEMALE RAPPER" to email u again n put up her post then we can judge it was worthy enuff? fair?

  51. oh and “FEMALE RAPPER” you can put ur music in the link to ur name u kno. wud b so much easier…
    y do i bother#

  52. when you get a chance check out SA-ROC she is dope!

  53. @Jonnie Kwest You accused him of not posting good shit from new rappers while assuming he received any good shit to begin with.
    I’m assuming he would post it if it’s truly is dope, and if he’s not posting it aint worth posting, while keeping in mind he probably can’t listen to EVERYTHING he gets sent.
    You assume he receives good unknown music and listens to it but chooses not to post it but I choose to think a bit more highly of our dear Meka [II]
