10 Female Rappers From The ’90s That Influenced Black Music But Didn’t Get Their Credit
For decades, women in hip-hop have faced scrutiny from the music industry. No one wanted to admit their impact, from criticizing their appearance to downplaying their lyricism.
Those attempts failed drastically. Female rappers dominated the industry, creating trends, setting records, and paving the way for the newest generation to take over.
We know all about hip-hop royalty like MC Lyte, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah, Lil’ Kim, Eve, Lauryn Hill, the reigning Queen Nicki Minaj, and more. Yet, some female rappers never receive their credit.
Here are ten female rappers from the ’90s that influenced Black music but didn’t get their flowers. So, I’m giving it to them!
