Female MCs

Back when I was in Cali, I remember I was in the car with this girl who was then the reigning ASUCI President. Anyway we were going to get Japanese food around 11 o clock and this is whats amazing about California is you can find amazing food at 11 pm at night. It was kind of like a going away dinner.

Anyway after we left I'm driving her back and some Nicki Minaj cut came on and I tunned it up. I was surprised she wasn't feeling it. I countered that its tough being a female MC.

Certainly it's gotten easier over time and some of my favorite female MC's are those London girls like M.I.A and Estelle.

I mean and it really, the shelf life of a female MC is so much shorter than a male MC. Plus, there has to be a certain look. Let's be real if there was ever a female MC that was huge like say Big Pun there is no way she'd make in the industry I don't care how amazing her voice, flow, lyrics and beats were.
