When we all come around to accepting females as dope artists, regardless of gimmicks and sexiness-levels, music that is heavily misogynistic will be unable to hold itself up under the weight that is the consumer/connoisseur/rap-head who appreciates skill, talent, and vision above all else. A single purchase of an album by a single female MC will bring that not-so-far-off-day of male/female parity in the hip-hop world one day closer. So until next week, remember that many female MCees spit fire, nothing less. Fill your head with some hip-hop in the meantime, cause male and female MCees come highly recommended.
