J's Anthem "Queen"

Females emcees have come and gone in the world of hip hop. You can really name the best females in hip hop on one hand ... okay, two. That's not a diss, that's real. Sad, but true. And unfortunately the women just don't have staying power on the mic.

Enter J. She is rollin in strong. I like the vibe on her first track "Queen". It's edgy, heavy beats and lyrically - she's got the skills. The topic is one of old ... respectin/disrespectin women. Her words may fall on some deaf ears, but her presentation commands your attention.

I want to be more optimistic about her future ... let's say she comes correct w/her first project ... how long before her sophomore album and will she meet the pressure of her first project ... Yeah, I'm just a bit ahead of myself on this ... just make me settle down and enjoy the moment and stop trying to forecast her future. Right, right.

Miss Rap Supreme

Has anyone else watched this show on VH-1? Ego Trips Miss Rap Supreme? I don't watch it regularly and I can't say that I've watched an entire show, but I have definitely seen the end of the show when someone is eliminated and they have to leave the house. That is hilarious - the unique ways they tell the women to "step off". Classic.

Now, don't ask me about the level of talent on the show. But I love it when a female emcee can spit rhymes like the best in the bunch. Unfortunately, we have not really been blessed w/a dearth of quality female emcees. Usually they last for one single, maybe two then ... gone.

Oh, but I do like M.C. Serch and Yo-Yo as hosts of the show.
