Blige & Debbie Harry did on What's The 411 and Rapture can be considered rapping; no, I'm not gonna pretend to enjoy any song Lauryn Hill has ever rapped on.

Personal left field fav is Ms Tee from Cash Money, she made a show of the lads every time unlike yr 1 from Juggaknots
"Stylin'" was a massive song on Westwood back in 2002, as was the remix with Baby, NORE, Loon & whatever Foxy's brother was called. One of those songs that's slipped through the cracks in the year's since 😕
ReplyDeleteFirst series of The Real World was the only good thing Heather B ever did.
All Glocks Down was good but are you tryna say locking down the huskiest weed carrier in rap history isnt an acomplishment

ReplyDeleteGood list. One omission that I wouldn't expect anyone to include is Red Paint; the most slept on female rap group and St. Louis rap group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NzObv1_tGM
