Rap is hardcore street music but there are women out there who can hang with the best male rappers. What holds us back is that girls tend to rap in these high, squeaky voices. It's irritating. You've gotta rap from the diaphragm.
From Cheryl James
Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.
I'm not really into the fashion thing.
They keep telling me that my flow's up to date, you know. I guess they thought I was gonna come back sounding... old.
For the moment, I'm concentrating on my own stuff.
We're feminists. We're doing something that only guys are expected to do and doin' it right! At our concerts we'll do one hard-core rap song and then do one where we'll be real sexy.
People have this impression that I'm this crazy Christian, but I'm really balanced.
I'm really open to doing music. We just have to figure out what kind of music it's going to be - something where I don't feel compromised.
There are a lot of good things that we can do. Maybe my example can help someone.
I remember feeling all right with myself until age 13. Then, I was getting off the bus one day and this guy called me Miss Piggy. That was the first time I ever really felt like I wasn't okay.
