Is Lauren Hill the best female MC ever?
Listening to that old fugees shit, and I swear to god she lays it down better than most of the male rappers in the industry right now. (although thats not saying much imo).

Can't think of another woman who comes close.

Lady Sovereign is fun to listen to, and all her songs have a good hook. But her lyrics aren't exactly thought provoking, and the fact that she starts out every song with her "S-O weeeeet" catchphrase is annoying as fuck.

I'm gonna have to say no.

Lauryn Hill is the greatest female emcee ever. I've never heard of Lauren Hill, nor do I know what an MC is.

I was being a huge wise ass. I keed.

It's an emcee because thats another word for a host. I guess it's because they have the mic and they're talking/hosting or whatever.

She probably is. However, there's something to be said for MC Lyte, Foxy Brown, and Da Brat.....and even Gangsta Boo to an extent.

Also, Ebony Eyez is pretty raw, but she hasn't really withstood the test of time just yet. She probably never will either.

Also, what about Missy Elliott?

LMFAO

Firstly, you are wrong on every point you've tried to make.. Not only are your assumptions about "rap lyrics" completely stereotypical, and ignorant but if you truly believe that, you are listening to the wrong Hip Hop..

Secondly, "she aint done shit since" is utter shit.. If winning 5 Grammies is her not doing shit, I wish Mos Def wouldn't do shit.. Yeah, she put out a groundbreaking solo album which landed her all kinds of critical acclaim and went mutiple times platinum.. She has also put out more of a folk guitar double disc, and has worked on more Fugee's shit..

Your thoughts and points behind are both closeminded and uneducated..

When was that solo album? Ten years ago? I forgot I even owned it until I read this?

And if you are one of these people who listen to music for it's depth and meaning then good for you. I fiind it hilarious anyone listens for rap for fucking meaning. I also listen what I think sounds good.

My thoughts are closeminded and uneducated? Whatever dude.

And I couldn't give a fuck about a grammy. That was also 10 years ago. TEN YEARS AGO! Nothing new in TEN YEARS! One album in 10 years and you are considered the best in your genre of all time? I don't think so.

But then again, I'm closeminded and uneducated.

I consider Biggie to be one of the greatest MC's of all time and he only put out two albums.. They put out a third after his death but Life After Death was the last album he actually had a hand in.. It came out over 10 years ago.. Can I not condsider him one of the best of his genre??

Your argument is shit..

There was one Fugees single that fucking bombed so bad nobody even knows it came out.

And I'm looking on itunes and Wiki and see ZERO about any other new material.

Biggie is dead and thus can't produce new music. And he produced more than one album in 10 years.

And you can consider whatever the fuck you want. Good for you. You want a grammy or something?

Even if you don't consider the new Fugees shit as an album, she still released three full albums in 8 years..

The Fugees-The Score (1996)
Lauren Hill-The Miseducation of Lauren Hill (1998)
Lauren Hill "Unplugged" (2002)

You can continue to claim that these albums don't exist but you're coming off looking like an idiot because it is a fact that they do..

Never knew we were counting the Unplugged CDs since technically it's an MTV record. And it was 13 tracks on a "Double Solo album". And that record was buried too because she was too busy flapping her gums about herself.

The simple fact that as far as I know, she's the only female to win a "Hip Hop" Grammy puts her as the front runner.. She is the only act that was considered "Hip Hop" to win multiple Grammies in one year..

Who claimed they didn't exist?

She is 1/3 of one of those albums. Unplugged was a live show recorded on a CD. WOW!

And I'm not counting quanity over quality. If she was so great, she would have produced more than 30 songs or whatever the number is. And you'd be hard pressed to find people who know more than two of her own songs. If she was so great, more people would know.

She might be good. I wouldn't debate it. Best ever? Erm.. no.

7 Interludes. One intro and one outtro. Is that a lie?

Do you always put words into people's mouths when trying to sing praises for your favourites? When did I say I didn't like her or she wasn't good?

Fuck off? Nah I'm good.

Interludes were mostly spoken word poetry, which was closer to "rapping" than anything eles on the album..

Just so you know..
