because no one buys there shit because it doesnt get radio play like males music do so thats y

nah, not always. They'll get radio play and simply not sell. Ala Rah Digga. Ala Jean Grae. JG gets more undergorund radio play than 50 gets mainstream play. And she STILL dosen't sell. Luckily she's signed to a minor so the profit margin is WAY bigger.

Female rappers fall off because they lose their sex appeal. Once the market dosen't view them as 'sexy' they're finished. Half of the reason is because they're females playing a male role of dominance and the average mofo don't wanna be dominated by a woman physically, mentally, or lyrically so to stay on, they have to act submissive and/or play the sidekick at one point or another. If you think you're gonna play the "baddest bitch" role for your entire career and still move units, you're wrong. That novelty wears off extremely quickly. Of course, none of them are trying to hear that and they eventually become a statistic. There's a formula for every type of emcee to be succesful over a course of say 3 album or 3 years. The Femcees out now are trying to rewrite that formula and be trail blazers (as I'd expect anyone would want to) but they're dropping like flies. Till they come to terms with the fact that the formula works, the cycle is just gonna keep on repeating.

Dooms has got a good point about the formula. femcees don't make it when they try to subvert the formula in some way, the second they make it.

And btw i don't think lil kim is the illest at all....far from it in fact

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 50¢ 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..

Jean Grae's music is in pretty much every record store in chicago/hyde park... i know NY got their stores full of JG CD's and records.. L.V. Jean Grea is on other people's albums, Talib Kweli had her on his album.. She does collabs with Immortal Technique and others.

Her album the Attack of the Attacking Things and This Week is on shelves in the Chi.. she's good. And the reason you don't hear her on the radio is because she's underground.

But to answer your question, Mizz Fyre.

Females get more respect if they beat a guy of a high status (or simply out-do a guy lyrically).

That's ironic because not a single one of the artists you just named are "underground" except I.T. but that's a prety ignorant outlook - if someone things you should expand your horizions, they gotta do the work for you. Pfftt, how many CD's you got in the mail so far princess? Get off your lazy ass and do it your self.
