Why Hip-Hop Needs Female Rappers

The fall is here, and it's a new music season as well. Highly anticipated releases by T-Pain and T.I. will compete for iPod memory with albums by Kanye, Luda, and Jay-Z due out shortly. We are guaranteed a constant refrain of "It ain't trickin' if you got it" and as many jewelry and designer fashion metaphors than most of the working middle classes can handle. My only question is: Shouldn't women be spitting these bars?

Hip-hop needs more female MC's. A lot of these niggas is making songs that bitches should make anyway. Rick Ross did a hip-hop cover of a Kelis pop hit and his correction officer ass was all over your airwaves. I imagine a female MC would have had the leverage against Ross on the topic of being a boss. Mr. Ross spends much of the song talking about what a date with him would be like, coupled with a hook that describes how the money he spent on his hair and his clothes will impress you. From the mouth of a male, this is nothing more than a desperate plea for attention; coming from a woman these actions would be much more acceptable.

Its like the WNBA. Its not about women playing the game, but people playing a different type of basketball. Some people like to see passing in the key followed by increasingly creative layups. This style of play happens to be just challenging enough to women to make for good games. If you see men playing like this though, you can't help but to conclude that they're hella soft.

For example, "Whateva U Like" was obviously written for Janet Jackson. Why didn't T.I. step aside and let a woman sing about such a pussy way of thinking. This song is obviously pro-woman, why don't you stand aside and let a real woman chime in and tell the world what she thinks? That is, if hip-hop today could stand to let some women in the game.

Worst of all, is that nigga Plies. This nigga goes on and on about some soft ass relationship shit "Shawty" & "Bust It Baby" and doesn't rap at all. Even worse, he goes from some soft emotional shit to asking for pity sex "1 More Time" to augment his already insubstantial lifestyle. Just like that emotional ass nigga with no job and a half finished tattoo that women keep letting hit it after he's been kicked out of his mom's house for the third time this week. She knows she should have gone shopping with her friends, but instead she's sweating her sheets up with a nigga that's not putting shit down.

These bitch niggas need to stop taking spots from the females MC's out there who deserve a chance to spit, and the young men and young women who need to be hearing that perspective right about now. A lot of these little niggas, is wearing skinny jeans and trickin' because they believe in these bitch ass niggas. Real talk, we need to have more female MC's on playlists across the country; put some diversity in your hip-hop diet. Don't let bitch niggas occupy a space in the game that would be better handled by a real woman.
