Dunno about the rest of you, but even taking into account the inherent shittiness of lazy, list-based journalism, this list is particularly shitty. The #1 apparently deserves to be "near the top" of any best-of list, yet you guys are putting her at the top? You don't sound exactly certain of yourselves here.The #5 I had never even heard of before I clicked on this link. She's OK, but what is someone who's only made one album doing on any G.O.A.T. list? We're entering Stone Roses territory here, guys.Half the performers named haven't made an album (or a rap album, at least) in the last ten years. You might as well put Sweet Tee, Antoinette and Boss on that list.Female emcees get enough of a hard time as it is without people knocking off crappy "will this do?" blog posts like this just because they've got the hump about Drake talking up Nicki Minaj.You'll have to forgive me. I've got three album reviews to write and they're due tomorrow morning. I took a quick break and googled "Nikki & Rich" to find an absolute f*cking ocean of transparently obvious paid-for blog hype, one example of which led me to this article, and now I'm in a bad mood. And I still haven't finished the reviews.

sadly, she is now trying to dj. STAY IN YOUR LANE.
She's on my list, but not for top female MC's. More like Female MC's gettin' on top!

2. MC Lyte
can we count Katey Red?
Exactly. After that...who knows? But Lyte takes the top spot; the rest are just competing for the silver medal.
This list is pretty depressing reading. Who was number 14? Neneh Cherry?
Mia X should definitely be in there.
And if you're going to include rappers who didn't write all their own rhymes, then Shante and YoYo have as much right to be in there as Foxy or Lil' Kim. Probably more so.
And td, agreed on Antoinette.
i did a show with her as well as mc lyte... both know how to rock a crowd and keep it moving with class and ease.. true mcs. todays male "rappers" have no idea how to do this.
infact, spinning for mc lyte in front of 3k ppl, and running top billin' into cha cha cha, all improv remains a highlight of my career.
lyte had 35+ crowd bringing her 1st lp to have autographed.
thats respect and longevity right there.
act like lauryn didnt kill lost ones. come on son.
[MC Lyte]
Funky Fresh dressed to impress ready to party
Money in your pocket, dying to move your body
To get inside you paid the whole ten dollars
Scotch taped with a razor blade taped to your collar
Leave the guns and the crack and the knives alone
MC Lyte's on the microphone
Bum rushin and crushin, snatchin and taxin
I cram to understand why brother's don't be maxin
There's only one disco, they'll close one more
You ain't guarding the door
so what you got a gun for?
Do you rob the rich and give to the poor?
Yo Daddy-O, school em some more
LL COOL J
besides her LP cover, i couldnt find any pics of her on the interwebs...but she always looked extra extra cute. not trying to objectify a good mc
yes!
Ju-just like a test
I cram to understand you
the lame ranking aside, it's clear from the little blurbs that the author(s) don't know much about rapp.
I saw her at some Project Blowed show and she rocked
