I Wanted to shine a spot line on some of the women in rhyme who put in work in the 80s and early 90s who do not get a lot of attention or mention in Hip Hop conversations ... maybe you'll go back in revisit some of their work or discover where some of the current flows come from.

This episode is legendary emcee Sweet Tee (Suga) listen and let me know what you think!

Remember when Hip hop was supposedly dead?

Remember when biting wasn't allowed?

Remember when emcees rhymed only to be considered the best?

Hip Hop and Hip Hop music used to be a fun escape ... it is no longer that, or dope; but I digress, and make podcast episodes.

There was a list circulating that had someones opinion of the Top 50 Female rappers of all time, and we don't mind telling you ... we disagreed.

And this episode explains why

We all love the 90s ... especially 95-97, but if you were around, you'd know that 1988 was a huge turning point for Hip hop music, so many debuts and timeless classics happened in just that one year, this episode is talking about that

We had to ... you saw that damn list.

Hip Hop music in the 80s , especially after the "Roxanne Wars" when an emcee or group recorded a song it was not uncommon for another to record a response record often dissing the original songmaker, what I will do with this series is highlight some that you may not be aware of.

This episode spotlights the Boogie Boys "Fly Girl" and the subsequent response records it inspired.

The earliest days of Hip Hop and Rhyme crossing genres being featured on pop and R&B songs ... the first two are really surprising
