You can cha-cha-cha to this Mardis Gras I'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far And I do get better, the voice gets wetter Nobody gets hurt (as long as you let her) Do my thing with an '89 swing The dopeness I write, I guarantee delight To the hip-hop maniac, the Uptown brainiac In full effect, MC Lyte is back And better than before as if that was possible My competition, you'll find them in the hospital Visiting time, I think it's on a Sunday But notice they only get one day to shine The rest of the week is mine And I'll blind you with the science that the others have yet to find So come along and I'll lead you the right way Just clap your hands to the words I say, come on...
how about Foxy Brown's verse on Nas' "Affirmative Action", from "It Was Written"?
I'm not a fan of hers at all (not even a little bit), but this verse was my favorite line on the entire album.
Just the mathematics alone...
"Raw though, an ounce mixed wit leak that's pure though Flippin the bigger picture, the bigger nigga with the cheddar Was mad dripper, he had a fuckin villa in Manilla We got to flee to Panama, but wait it's half and half Keys is one and two-fifth, so how we flip Thirty-two grams raw, chop it in half, get sixteen, double it times three We got forty-eight, which mean a whole lot of cream Divide the profit by four, subtract it by eight We back to sixteen, now add the other two that 'Mega bringin through So let's see, if we flip this other key Then that's more for me, mad coke and mad leak Plus a five hundred, cut in half is two-fifty Now triple that times three, we got three quarters of another key The Firm baby, volume one uhh.."

nenah cherry - buffalo stance (this count as rap?)
bahamadia- 3 the hard way (best skills and earliest use of "the internet" in a rap song)
lauryn hill - lost ones or sweetest thing remix
m.c. lyte - paper thin
da brat- b side, funkdafied, im gonna give it to ya
if we are counting groups, than salt and pepper are up there and oaktown 357 for the thousands of times "juicy gotcha goin krazy" was played on bet and the box.
'i got an attitude' by antoinette on the 'hurby's machine' record.
This shit is seriously calidad! Both of her tracks on the record are l'rawness. I've been up on her since way back in early 2006. She has two LPs too. Dope shit.
Comments
Yeah, but the top half dozen female tracks are all by Lyte, IMO.
I didn't read this whole thread, but did somebody seriously say Shawnna's name up in here?
I guess I should have read this thread as "how many female rap tracks can we come up with"? Which is a worthy thread to have.
But yeah, as far as "best"... Lyte pretty much owns that.
oh most likely, thus the explaination. I don't live in my beloved birthcity anymore and I attach to any semi-decent reference on wax.
You can cha-cha-cha to this Mardis Gras
I'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far
And I do get better, the voice gets wetter
Nobody gets hurt (as long as you let her)
Do my thing with an '89 swing
The dopeness I write, I guarantee delight
To the hip-hop maniac, the Uptown brainiac
In full effect, MC Lyte is back
And better than before as if that was possible
My competition, you'll find them in the hospital
Visiting time, I think it's on a Sunday
But notice they only get one day to shine
The rest of the week is mine
And I'll blind you with the science that the others have yet to find
So come along and I'll lead you the right way
Just clap your hands to the words I say, come on...
[Kick this one here for me and my DJ]
That's what any "best of" thread around here turns into after about ten posts...
mc lyte has been covered
queen b - lil kim
break fool - rah digga
i like ma barker's parts on click of respect
if memory serves, there's a pretty good female part on east flatbush project's everything we spit is hard
jean grae when she was what what
the lack of anything from the past two or three years is depressing - what i have i missed/forgotten that's good?
I'm not a fan of hers at all (not even a little bit), but this verse was my favorite line on the entire album.

"Raw though, an ounce mixed wit leak that's pure though
Flippin the bigger picture, the bigger nigga with the cheddar
Was mad dripper, he had a fuckin villa in Manilla
We got to flee to Panama, but wait it's half and half
Keys is one and two-fifth, so how we flip
Thirty-two grams raw, chop it in half, get sixteen, double it times three
We got forty-eight, which mean a whole lot of cream
Divide the profit by four, subtract it by eight
We back to sixteen, now add the other two that 'Mega bringin through
So let's see, if we flip this other key
Then that's more for me, mad coke and mad leak
Plus a five hundred, cut in half is two-fifty
Now triple that times three, we got three quarters of another key
The Firm baby, volume one uhh.."
came back for you - lil kim
But maybe thats just cause of the Premier beats and I don't really like her per say. Same with most female MC's I guess...
The best Female MC track is: L'Trimm - Cars with the Boom
Even lately... Her verse on the Queensbridge Finest album was off the hook.
L'Trimm! Kid Rock was telling me this funny story about how he was bangin' one of those chicks!!!!
It would have probably been a better story if it was both of them...
He didn't happen to use the term "skezer" by any chance did he???
True, both would have been better! No he did not use the term "skezer" or "Skeezer" LOL
I bet I can go for 0 for 3 here...
Was it Bunny D or Tigra???
Did he get her to rap "Grab it" while he was furthering his groupie sex count?
queen latifah- u.n.i.t.y.

I was going to say this thread should be retitled to "Best Track by MC Lyte"
aka the best Lauryn Hill song that Lauryn Hill didn't do.
