  the thing is the industry has completing sold out to the likes of nicki minaj in the aspect female rap game.sorry but true...now n days the industry likes gimmicks when it comes to female rap artist.. why do u think she the only one out.. the chic has completly commericilized female hip-hop where artist coming in the game cant even stay true to themselves.. half of the artist hiphop wired showcase can out-ryhm... and have wayyyy more lyrical ablity than nicki minaj.. but those chics arent sell-outs thats why they are still underground. somebody mentioned "Snow tha Product" now that chic is alright right there.... im suprised she wasnt show cased... nicki minaj didnt revive the female hip-hop.. people are EXACTLY wanting a REAL alternative to her. people are tired of nm. Its time for a ole school like Missy Elliot to come back which she is.. and start a real talent female MC march. peace!

  Don't blame Nicki. When she entered the game, Hip-Hop was without a strong female present. Nicki saved Female Rap. She worked hard for her success. She build her fanbase from Youtube videos and underground DVD and mixtapes. The reason, she is the only one out because female rap cds weren't selling. Remy Ma is respected in the streets and is a lyrical beast. Fans did not buy her cd. The same is true for Trina, Rah Digga, Shawnna, and others. Hip-Hop is male dominated. It's never been easy for a Female Rapper to have success. People are not tired of her. People are buying money to see her on tour. Her single Superb***** is Number 5 on Billboard. If female rappers want to enter the game, they must create their own Buzz.

• dallas champ

  @trulo Again Female rappers need to make their own buzz. MC Lyte is a female legend in Hip-Hop. She didn't go GOLD until her FOURTH Album. Fans must Support Female Rappers, by buying their *****. The Music Business is a Business. If It don't make money, it don't make sense. (Nicki didn't invent the rules).

• http://hiphopwired.com adina

• kim

  wow, so many faces n names I didn't recognize. I've listened to Siya and Jean Grae (who are both dope mc's); it would be great to see these ladies get some shine. Not all rappers need to look or sound the same.

• Yuletide

  Mia X is the best female rapper period. Verbal *****ault....Cl*****ic. She is so underrated.

• SD Chris

  Rapsody is nice. Beats by 9th...

• Troublesome

  Glad to see Jean Grae and Tiye Phoenix up there...those are the two dopest imo. Eternia should be on there though also.

• Anon

  Fiona Simone didnt make the list.... SMH! You guys should do better research.

• nichole miller

  what about that new FEMCEE MIZZP. ? youtube her.

• true hats

  Most Female Rappers never have any success in Hip Hop. We don't even have to talk about longevity. JAY-Z is the ONLY RAPPER TO HAVE LONGEVITY! When ever a female wins in hip hop, it's a major accomplishment.

• LARRY LOVE

  HEDONIS DA AMAZON ......SHE IS THE PHILLY QUEEN

• NoneYa

  Just because who u feel should make the list didn't doesn't mean these young ladies aren't talented.... The problem is too many hating, relax and let these ladies get their shine....its that simple...

• Daisy Dai’Shell

• shadesondontbetrynasayw*****up

  umm where is Snow Tha Product?!?!? DOPEST CHICK IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW

• blackthots

  Let me break this down. What does it profit an artist to gain all the buzz, the street cred and the 'best female mcee' accolade but still have no progress. Nicki should be a positive example more than anyone else. She might be hyped with the sub urban kids or a sellout as some say, but what is better selling out tours and getting paid with the effect of changing the live of her family and friends and competing favorably with male mc,s on sales level or stuck in the bottomless pit of not selling out? We need to realize this is their 9/5,s so i suggest we stop giving them all this mad props and start buying their cd,s.

• tonka

  @Nay OBVIOUSLY u do know of her if u know her delivery is weak & blah blah. Somebody sound a little salty!? Tell them why u mad haha....keep doing ur thing *****y & all the other ladies!

• greggy
