at least that's how I precieve things to be from the current state of females in the rap industry at the moment...
P.S. Lil' Kim is by no means great, and I really can't stand her ass, but I gotta admit that she's at least good at what she does...

Because "ill" is relative. Canibus is "ill", but you think he'd ever be on a song with Casidy? Hell no. They're different tpes of "ill". Same with JG. In the underground, she's a powerhouse and still one of the biggest names out. If she had an album ocming out, would I buy it? Nope. Not because I don't like JG. But because I like her in small doses. That's my personal prefference - you may like her in larger doses and buy her albums. But she does have sex appeal - even if it's not in her content. But her voice alone is feminine (unlike Rah Digga, Foxy Brown (at times) Lil Kim, Queen Pin, etc etc etc etc) and she has that fragility in her that makes mals wanna reach out and listen to her or feel protective of her. she's still within the bounds of 'the formula' althoguh I'm sure as hell it's not intentional. And she sings. So yes, she does infact have sex appeal - WITHOUT talking about dicks. So apparantly people
do want to hear a female lyricist. I'm living proof.

What's not true? I said JG gets more spins on UNDERGROUND radio than 50ยข gets on MAINSTREAM radio. I could put on one of a few stations right now and I'd bet she'd be coming on in the next 1/2 hr easily.
It's a shame LV and BQ that me, the male knew about and heard JG before both of yall....Shame on yall..
