When I think of influential females in hip-hop, my mind goes to Foxy Brown, hands down.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me, hip hop will never be right until female rappers have a stronger voice in it.
I didn't really grow up on hip-hop. Ella Fitzgerald and the old school jazz divas are more my comfort zone.
Hip-hop isn't as complex as a woman is.
I'm a huge hip-hop fan from way back in the day.
I'm the female Jay-Z. I never compared myself to other women artists. I compared myself with the best, and the best is Jay-Z.
I love Ruth Brown, not just her singing, but Ruth Brown has more girl power than anyone, because she fought hard against people who ripped her off and then helped other artists through the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.
Hip-hop I never really got really into mainly just because I'm not a big fan of rap. I do like R&B artists like Beyonce. I'm a big fan of her mainly because of her vocals. They're just so awesome. I love her and Christina Aguilera, and that whole urban kind of feel is really great, especially with my voice.
I enjoy female rappers, not because they're female but because I can connect to them more.
I can't really even name a person I like in hip-hop music.
It's not nice to say it - I know female musicians, but not so many rappers. I can't think of one I idolize, which is sad, but I'm hoping that will change.
