Best Female Rappers

Hey ATS.. one for the ladies!
Rap's a pretty male dominated arena, but a few female rappers have earned a place among the greatest. Me, I'm not so much a Nicki Minaj fan but if you are.. try to convince me!
I will have to admit that Nicki has it when it comes to volume. But quantity and quality are two different things, are they not?
Here are some of my favorite songs by women who killed it on the mic!!

My favorite:

I agree Missy Eliot is dope!

I guess there is such a thing...
But I don't know if this can rightly be called rap...

"The man from Mars stopped eating cars and eating bars and now he only eats guitars."

Hit it...

How about an oldie, (rap) segment at about 3:48

I think you covered most my favorites that Da Brat track brought me way back lol.

I won't say she's one of the best but Lauren Hill was good with the Fugees imo.



This other girl had talent but wrecked herself with drugs. She has a kid now hope she's clean. This video was done as a joke and got very popular she even ended up on a Juicy J track.

Most people hated this but I found it catchy when it first came out, the drug references don't bother me im not one to judge about that.

Chanel West Coast - Karl Largerfield and Alcoholic

Agreed about Yolandi and Lady Bug!

Also, the female rappers of today should put down the torch, it went out a long time ago.
