It's Official: Remy Ma Holds the Title as "The Queen of New York"

hot97.jpg

Hot 97's Summer Jam 2006 was going full force last night (June 4) at Giant's Stadium. Three 6 Mafia set it off with a so-so performance of "Stay Fly" and "Poppin' My Collar," Remy Ma followed, Ne-Yo performed "When You're Mad" and "So Sick," Young Jeezy did it for the hood, Sean Paul performed all of his hits, and Mobb Deep... the safest route to take would be to say "no comment."

Jamie Foxx did well during his segment, and Dem Franchize Boys tore the house down alongside appearances by Janet Jackson, Da Brat, and an explosive appearance by Mariah Carey. Mary J. Blige did an outstanding performance with old-school cuts "Real Love," "Be Happy," and her new hits "Enough Cryin'" and "Be Without You." Chris Brown did his footwork, T.I took over the show with "ASAP," "Bring Em Out," and "Why You Wanna." Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star rocked the stage with "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See," "Break Your Neck," and "Touch It" before bringing out Wu-Tang, Rakim, Slick Rick, and Big Daddy Kane. You know Busta-Bus couldn't leave the crowd without performing the New York Movement anthem "On My New York Shit." Speaking of the movement, the Dipset Movement moved the audience right out of the stadium-- literally. Jim Jones hit the stage with 100 people too many, and there was no Jay-Z diss present. The crowd called it a night.

During the set, I was surprised in the way Remy Ma certified the self-proclaimed "Queen of New York" title. During her show, which consisted of "Lean Back," "Whateva" and "Conceited," she represented well 100% Fat Joe and Terror Squad-free. Nearly 50,000 people sang almost every song, and responded well to her mixtape version of Rick Ross'"Hustlin'" (which went "everyday I'm fucking him"), even though half of the heads in the stadium had never heard that song. Her hype man must've called her "the Queen of New York" a million times and nobody objected.

Moving approximately 70,000 units total with There's Something About Remy can hardly give her credibility as regional artist, but the crowd embraced her surprisingly well. It's obvious that New York loves her to death. No fronting, the album was decent; underground-oriented (and free of bubble gum pop tunes), but decent and well put-together nonetheless.

So the question I would like answered is: As the only mainstream female rapper out of New York to win a popular freestyle battle and write her own rhymes, unlike Foxy and Lil' Kim, why isn't this chick selling records?

One answer: music industry politics. She killed her version of "Hustlin". Not to mention she has been throwin a lot of somewhat subliminal jabs at Babs ("Most Anticipated Freestyle" and "Banned From NY Freestyle"). But to my amazement, no response from her. IMO, that would be a good azz battle. Better than that battle she had we Lady Luck.

The sad fact is that Hip-Hop heads just don't "feind" for female M.C.'s. After all these years they are still a "novelty". We wait for Lil Kim to say something outrageous but we don't want to here a whole album about her getting ate out. We love Remy's verses but we love her more on her guest verses. we only listen to Foxy to see if we can tell who her ghostwriter was on any particular song. If we truly checked for femcees, Bahamadia, Jean Grae and Remy would be platinum artists. Lauren Hill started feling herself a little too much and lost her core audience. It's hard out here for female M.C.'s

"why isn't this chick selling records?"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cause of that siily ass blond shit in the front of her hair....

Posted by: Black Friday at June 5, 2006 11:53 AM

She ain't sellin, because her company does not know how to market her. When the boss (Fat Joe) doesn't show her love, then that's the problem. How she was on his biggest single ever, and doesn't appear on his album after Lean Back. That's crazy to me. Joe is insecure because people are paying more attention to Remy than him. And Jealous One's Envy and Don Cartegena was the only two albums better than Remy's album. I don't know, but she is the nicest female out, hands down. I can't even listen to other female rappers.

Posted by: Dezzy at June 5, 2006 11:55 AM

SEX APPEAL or lack there of. Foxy & Kim were always heavy on the tits and ass.

Do nigs in jail beat their dicks to Kim XXL or a Remy Ma photo?

Remy may be that legit female rapper with skills but at the end of the day what is gonna sell the most is pussy and sports.

Posted by: SOHH Soul Man at June 5, 2006 11:55 AM

Are you kidding me? Queen of NY? Listen, Remy is another Lil Kim/Foxy rip off with a deep voice. People are so quick to declare new jacks as Kings and Queens without the proper credentials. In the words of the late great Ol' Dirty Bastard....NIGGA PLEASE!!

Posted by: Mr. Wade at June 5, 2006 11:56 AM

She's an overhyped female mixtape rapper who tries too hard to act hood and like she has a penis. All her verses sound the same, her singles were ehh, her guest spots are ehh. No orinigality that i can think of from her. I could of went to summerjam, but part of the reason why i didnt buy tickets was because I didnt wanna see her on the lineup. Its supposed to be a celebration, not the mixtape awards.Lil Kim and Foxy's last albums were MUCH MUICH hotter than anything i ever heard from Remy to even consider putting her in their category.

Posted by: Bk's Mr Incredible at June 5, 2006 11:56 AM

Luck won that fucking battle...I don't care what none of you niggas say...Rem only won the last round...the judges were clowns....Remy is fire though..But RAH digga would wear her ass out....

Posted by: Black Friday at June 5, 2006 11:58 AM

Remy Ma ain't shit. Being a better mc/less of a ho than Kim and Foxy ain't realy an accomplishment.

JEAN GRAE should be the Queen of NY. She would destroy Remy, or any other female MC I've ever heard.

Posted by: D at June 5, 2006 12:01 PM

Remy Ma is beautiful.

Posted by: luke at June 5, 2006 12:03 PM

Luck aint win shit. Dike lookin bitch. If all these people "love" her they shouldn't have copped the bootleg version of her album. They shoulda copped the REAL one lol. I got love for some female rappers but be honest most of female rappers aint worth listening to

Im a bitch nigga!

Posted by: Bitch Nigga at June 5, 2006 12:05 PM

She needs to start givin lap dances at her shows like trina.Remy come grind on this dik baby and then you can take me to Target in your Range and I'll buy 5 your albums.Then you'll have 70,005 units sold baby, only 929,995 til platinum...........Babs can't see Remy wit dude from "Honey I shrunk the kids" glasses.

Posted by: Ohio419 at June 5, 2006 12:12 PM

Remy is SEXY tho got damn!

Im a bitch nigga.

Posted by: Bitch Nigga at June 5, 2006 12:15 PM

Remy Ma is a wack lyricist. Foxy needs 2 take her throne back.

Remy Ma looks like Dennis Rodman in a drag queen outfit!

FOXY BROWN IS THE REAL QUEEN OF NY!

Posted by: dopeman at June 5, 2006 12:20 PM

I think Remy seems a little more relatable to the female hip hop audience. I mean Remy talks about the whips and the chips like everybody else does but she seems to do it in a way that ya average block chick would. But her flow is right though, you cant knock it. She didnt sell because her camp wasnt behind her when it counted, and their rep was suspect too so they cant do for her what they could barely do for themselves. And I like Joe so its not hate, but they just wasnt producing like I felt they could have, although Joe's last effort was a lot more popular in the mainstream than his previous ones - not sure if thats good or bad, but Im sure an argument can be made for both.

Posted by: Dig at June 5, 2006 12:21 PM

Yeah, I think Remy's preformance there was up there with Busta's "Touch It (Remix)" preformance. Remy deserves to be the Queen Of NY cuz, Foxy ain't doin' sh*t, Babs ain't doin' sh*t, Kim is locked up (and has continually tried to be people who she is not) and out of the whole country, Miss Jade, ain't doin' sh*t & Missy went pop on us. That leaves who? Nobody. Somebody please tell me if there is a better female MC out there that's better than Remy b/c I don't see one. Hey she may not "look good" (she's decent) but she is a he** off a MC. If you don't believe me, check her out on Fight Klub when she battled Lady Luck.

Shawnna nice

Posted by: Ni at June 5, 2006 12:44 PM

The best female emcee is Jean Grae. Hands down. Their is no other female in the industry that can fuck with gracious grae's flow. She so ill I don't consider her the best female emcee but one of the best emcees period. She eat half these male emcees for lunch. This Week was one of the best albums to come out last year and was slept on by many. Lady of Rage is the second best. She has rhymes and metaphors that male emcees envy. With the right promotion Jean Grae and Rage could be running shit for females. Jean Grae is a better lyricist than Lauryn Hill and can also sing like lauryn though less polished. Stop sleeping on her.

Posted by: Uniek at June 5, 2006 12:44 PM

You fucking wildin...Luck got in her ass...Did you see how hurt she was looking when Luck kept calling her ugly....that was some funny shit...Why can't Mary J be the queen of NY? Who said the queen had to rap?

Posted by: Black Friday at June 5, 2006 12:44 PM

*Shawnna's nice

Posted by: Nini at June 5, 2006 12:45 PM

Queen of NY...Kimora Lee...because she takin that nigga Russell's money like Umfufu--

"I want HAF Russell-HAFFF!"

Posted by: Naj at June 5, 2006 12:51 PM

DAMN!!! Can ANYONE listen to Lil' Kim for real??? Stop saying shit like BIG wrote the rhymes. Playboy been in the essence for years and Kim ain't broke stride. Somebody PLEASE give the woman some credit. She's better than a whole LOT of niggas out there. She damn sho' better than niggas like Cam & Ma$e and some of those other niggas who came out around the same time. Shit, she's better than ANYONE out of her new or old clique with the exception of Biggie. The only bitch who could have held her own on the Quiet Storm remix when MOBB DEEP was still Infamous. Fuck out of here with that bullshit. We would see who the real emcees are PERIOD if we wern't so caught up on image and shit. When they weren't playing this shit on the videos and radio 24-7, niggas HAD to step their lyrical shit up. Never disrespect females and quit thinking that they all have ghostwriters. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these sister ARE ghostwriters. Being a man don't make you a better lyricist anyway. If that was true, we wouldn't be listening to so much BULLSHIT right about now.

Think about it.

Posted by: RBanga! at June 5, 2006 12:52 PM

I don't know jack about selling records but I know that Remy has everything going for her except.. A good Label, top notch production, and an appealing marketing angle. Damn it, its a shame every rapper can't be on AfterMath. If Big Pun was alive Remy would sell.

Posted by: Sam C. at June 5, 2006 12:53 PM

Remy aint 'sell no records' cause she aint independent like everybody else going indie plain & simple. Damn near half of the south is pullin numbers like remy , but they seein all that return no middle man (i.e. def jam etc.) Thats dough, like half a mill dough!!Thats the ONLY DIFFERENCE from the southern phenomenon to traditional Hip hop record sales. The south BEEN doing it themselves cause they had no other choice or outlet. they had to PROVE they had an audience before major lables would take a chance on them basically, thats why now you see and hear all these new niggas comin outta nowhere with their little lable and a major backing them (i.e. corporate thugz/def jam, slip n slide /def jam etc.) so they happened to have the jump on traditional artist with a machine behind them. Going indie is the way to go nowadays and it just so happens that the south is stuffed full of indie lables making that 70,000 and better sales money...thats exactly what the dips are doing but they move 100,000 units and better. I wont even feed into the assholes online, it has nothing to do with NYC vs the south by the way, thats why NO ARTIST TALKS ABOUT SOUTH VS NORTH EXCEPT SOUTHERN/NYC FANS. AND IM IN QUEENS NYC by the way, UNBIASED BUT EDUCATED before any nutsack replys with some bullshit. 1 more note...alot of older cats who aint sellin are under contract still with most majors, 7-8 albums are owed thats why they haven went indie yet 9 outta 10....

Posted by: 5Gates at June 5, 2006 12:53 PM

Oh.. and of course shes the Queen of NY.... Kim don't want it with Remy. That battle would shoot Remy's stock through the roof.

Posted by: Sam C. at June 5, 2006 12:54 PM

Rappers always hold on 2 self-proclaimed titles so what's new...

I went 2 Summer Jam
(on a free ticket with my cousin who's works with Shot 97)
and I honestly I wasn't excited about it UNTIL the performances...

That had 2 have been,
in my HUMBLE opinion,
one of the best summer jams thus far.

I'm not a Busta fan but his whole set and how he worked everybody in his thing was hot 2 def (death)...LOL!

Next 2 Bus,
Ne-Yo and Chris Brown (yeah I said Chris) was really good.
Rem's show was okay but she really needs a new clothes and hair stylist.

T.I. and the dirty was definitely REPRESENTING 4 their areas and all that north/south/east/west crap
jokers spit on this internet was far from relevant at Summer Jam.

One of the beautiful things about hip hop is that it is diverse enough 2 appeal 2 all types of audiences.
Now 4 me,
I was NOT really feeling dipset whole playground fiasco vibe they had going
(u know the cats that come 2 the playground at night 2 get high and drunk scene) and
mobb deep left me wishing Lil Kim was out 2 help liven up their set.

Overall,
it was good.
Remy's comments were small at best. In fact, had u not mentioned it, I would have 4gotten. PEACE

Posted by: Dana in Jersey at June 5, 2006 01:00 PM

Aye Whats really good my niggs. First of all Remy is bannanas on the MIC to say she's whack is complete and utter stupidity. Not to mention if/when she leaves Terror Squad it would be a disaster for Fat Joe if she really does go to G-Unit. Imagine how much dirt she probably got on them niggas being apart of the set for so long. It serves Joe right though for not promoting her shit enough. Outside of NewYork people don't even know Remy's album dropped because she had no PR. I think she had like 1 little comercial on BET and thats it. I bet she would sell if she started battling niggas though, I think if she left Terror Squad and went at Joe that would be a crucial battle for her. Imaginge if Fat Boy lost to Remy, his career would be over, for loosing to a female. Anyways In about another couple of minutes the under 21 crowd will be up on here posting up some ignorant comments so 1.

Posted by: QueesSS at June 5, 2006 01:00 PM

Remy would serve Kim with no problems. That quiet storm with mobb deep is the last good verse that Kim had. Matter a fact its the best verse she ever spit besides the verses B.I.G. supplied for her. Kim is the most overrated female rapper ever.

Posted by: Uniek at June 5, 2006 01:03 PM

...and another note, to the southern fans so eager to run your mouth about NYC, the movement is considered 'hot for the moment'..I do this shit for a living, EVERYBODY is gonna continue jumpin on your bandwagon, even corporate whites. its not cause your that damn good, its money. sorry. please dont even breath the word hate, thats hit dont mean jack shit when your talkin funds. again, sorry. Everyone who gets hot goes through it, your region as a whole is no exception cause its the south, its dough driven. ATL is the 'new haven for talent', meaning niggas with singles gettin heavy burn...shit half the shit out is old in the south, why is that? 'new haven for talent'they call it...be careful braggin shit aint that sweet for you yet. just an FYI, and NYC aint gonna disappear either, sorry about that too, I see some of your comments.

Posted by: 5Gates at June 5, 2006 01:03 PM

It' Remy's fault for not taking a bigger role in the promotion of her album and leaving it to Fat Joe...Look what direction Fat Joe decided to go with his last album...This niggas first single was a duet with Nelly jumping around in a pink coat...the nigga obviously don't know what he's doing...U just watched this niggas album go double plastic and now you letting him take charge of your shit??..what did she expect

Posted by: Black Friday at June 5, 2006 01:11 PM

LETS GET THIS STR8, HEMY IS THE QUEEN? I BEG 2 DIFFER, WHEN U ACCOMPLISHED WHAT KIM HAS ACCOMPLISHED THEN U CAN CALL UR SELF A QUEEN, I MEAN ALL WOMEN R QUEENS....BUT JUST BECAUSE THIS CHICK SPIT, AND SOUND LIKE A DUDE, DONT MAKE HER THE QUEEN OF NY TRUST ME...SHE STR8 TRYS 2 COPY KIMS LOOK, AND SHE SHE BE DOING SHIT LIKE LADY OF RAGE, EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN LANE, BUT SHE JUST HAVENT SEEM 2 FIND HERS..LIL' KIM QUEEN BEE WILL FOREVER BE THE QUEEN OF HIPHOP PERIOD!! FUCK THE HATERZ, HEMY IS A NEW JACK...YA'LL REMEMBER HOW KIM MADE MOBB DEEP HOT, HOW SHE MADE RAY-J HOT, HOW SHE MADE FLUFFY HOT ALL BOUT THE BENJIMANS, HOW SOON DO WE FORGET WHO OUR TRUE QUEEN IS, YA'LL CAN NOT GIVE KIM HER CREDIT FOR WHATEVER REASON, BUT YOU CANT DENY HER EITHER, THE TRUE QUEEN OF NY WILL REIGN SUPREME ONCE AGAIN BASTARDS!!!

Posted by: Real REppin HipHop at June 5, 2006 01:12 PM

DEAR REMY MA,

THE NEXT TIME YOU HIT THE STAGE AT SUMMER JAM, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER USING A STRAIGHT RAZOR. THAT WAY WE WON'T SEE YOUR 5 O'CLOCK SHADOW AROUND NOON. ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE TRYING OUT FOR THE NOSE GUARD TACKLE POSITION NEXT WEEK FOR THE RAIDERS. BUT I DO! THE DRAQ QUEEN/RAPPIN' THING DIDN'T WORK FOR YOU. TIME TO MOVE ON!

Jean Grae

Posted by: Bitch Nigga at June 5, 2006 01:14 PM

I notice no one is speaking on Jean Grae. Is it because of lack of knowledge of her? How u cats claim to be hip-hop fans and not know about Jean is fucking crazy. None of these other broads have half the skill of Jean. Go do some research.

Posted by: Uniek at June 5, 2006 01:17 PM

BEFOREE U CALL A BITCH QUEEN, CHECK HER MUTHERFUCKIN STATS, NO PLATINUM SINGLES..NO PLATINUM ALBUMS, KIM LIVES HER RHYMES, THASS WHY I WILL ALWAYS REMAIN LOYAL 2 HER, SHE ALWAYS DOES SOMETHING FOR U 2 BE LIKE THAT LIL' BITCH CRAZY, OTHER HOEZ JUST COPY HER STLYE, KIM EVEN GETS MUCH LOVE IN THE SOUTH, THEY LOVE HER....SHES A BOSS, NOT WAITING ON NO NICCA 2 COME DO A GUEST APPEARANCE HER HER SHIT....IS QUEEN BEE BITCHES NOT TERROR SQUAD, NOT POE BOY, NOT SLIP/SLIDE, NOT BADBOY, BUT QUEEN BEE ENETRTAINMENT, YA'LL SOME STR8 HATERZ, WHE YA'LL KNOW YA'LL USE 2 BOUNCE 2 KIMS SHIT, SHE MADE EVERY RECORD HOT THAT SHE BEEN ON, THE BITCH DON WORKED WITH EVERYBODY U CAN THINK OF IN THE INDUSTRY, ROCK, POP, R&B, SOUL, NOW IF THAT AINT A TRUE QUEEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS, FUCK A MIXTAPE....REAL ARTIST DONT BATTLE, THEY JUST CRUSH UR ASS IN 1LINE....KIM THE REASON THESE BITCHES WEARING LONG WEAVES, AND RAPPING IN HIGH HEELS...SHOW RESPECT WHERE ITS DUE, DONT HOLD A PERSONS MISTAKES AGAINST THEM, WE ALL MAKE SHITY DECISIONS AT TIMES.....KIM HAS A DOPE ASS ALBUM NAKED TRUTH, IS WAY BETTER THAN THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HEMY....KIM JUST DONT TALK SHIT ALL THREW HER ALBUM, SHE LIVES IT!!

Real REppin HipHop :

1) The original Quiet Storm was way better than the remix...Mobb Deep was hot long before Kim..

2)That Ray-J shit was still corny

3)The Benjamins was hot way before the remix, the shit didn't need BIG or KIM...And on the remix, Kim had the wackest verse out of everybody...

Posted by: Black Friday at June 5, 2006 01:23 PM

AND IM NOT AGAINST LISTENING 2 OTHER FEMALES LIKE JEAN GRAE I THINK SHE'S DOPE AS WELL, BUT IT STARTED WITH KIM/FOXY AND ITS GONNA REST WITH THEM, EVERYBODY ELSE JUST NEEDS 2 FIND OUT WHERE THEY FIT IN, ITS PLENTY OF MONEY FOR ALL THESE FEMALES, IF THEY LEARN HOW 2 RESPECT 1ANOTHER, AND KEEP IT MOVING, NY HAS GONE NOWHERE ITS STILL THE CAPITOL OF RAP PERIOD! NO BUBBLE GUM BEATS CAN EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM NY...THEY JUST NEED 2 STICK TOGETHER MORE...AND SHOW PROPER RESPECT, LIKE KIM SAID WE CAN ALL RESPECT 1ANOTHER AND MAKE MUSIC, BUT BITCH U WILL RESPECT ME FIRST!!

Posted by: Young Guice at June 5, 2006 01:38 PM

Remy Ma is lyrical and fuckable. The problem is that these niggas didn't know which route to market her. The other thing is that Rem looks like one of those hard head New York shortie that will get all up N a nigga's face and shit ...poppin shit. And although U niggas don't like Fat Joe he is a real nigga and like most of us he isn't going 2 tolerate that shit and so he probably said fuck it and just fell back. She does need 2 find a new camp but B4 she moves 2 G-Unit she better talk 2 some niggas first...I would hit up Hav and P 2 start.

Posted by: BigUP2Bk at June 5, 2006 01:39 PM

Remy aint sellin cause her shit aint hot. Her beats aint crazy and her flow is average... then when u add in that bootlegg fordham road weave she stay rockin then u definitely got a brick!

If we choosing Queens then I str8 fucks wit KIM. Hands down she's the best overall female rapper alive. She gave all these new bitches they swagga.

_______________________________________
Some of these fans were like 11 when the original came out...
And I respect your opinion REAL REPPIN HIP HOP, but how does keepin it real make you a great MC--how is Kim queen of NY and she's not gold yet?

Might as well give it to Remy because she's not living off the Legacy of Pun-she's her own MC...

Jean Grae is hella nice--but she might think it's in her best interest to stay underground because of what labels do to female MCs...it's up to Kweli to help her branch out. But he's got work to do for himself.


Posted by: Naj at June 5, 2006 02:06 PM

I don't know why ya makin it seem like its so easy for Remy to just up and leave her label. Remy Ma is locked into to her contract. She either fulfil her obligations or find another label thats willin to BUY OUT HER CONTRACT from Terror Squad. And from the way it looks, Fat Joe & Steve Rifkin ain't lettin it happen. Dats why Terror Squad said she for sell. And if G-Unit allegedly want her so bad then they gonna have to pay a hefty price being as tho G-Unit got beef wit Terror Squad. Money rules the world.

And IMO, you can't call urself The Queen of NY unless u have a platinum album to back up ur claim. But by all means, she CAN take the throne since no one else has laid claim to it...

Posted by: Adonys at June 5, 2006 02:07 PM

REAL REPPIN HIPHOP:

Kim is cool but all those caps and slashes got a niggas feeling woozies and shit. I don't know what the fuck U said about Kim but I figured U "Big Upped" her in some way.

Did anyone go 2 summer jam. What's the deal with Mobb Deep becausz this nigga who wrote this shit isn't commenting. I don't know if its your regular G-Unit hate or if these niggas were totally wak.

Posted by: BigUP2Bk at June 5, 2006 02:09 PM

Whew thanks for the AB WORKOUT I just got from laughing so hard at the people who want to defend a person who had a SCOTT STORCH BEAT, THE SONG WAS ON THE RADIO, MADE NOISE CRYING ON HOT 97 ON THE MISS JONES SHOW, CALLED HERSELF THE QUEEN OF NY over and over again and went DOUBLE WOOD. Her CD BRICKED like Ben Wallace at the FOUL LINE. There is no Queen of NY the closest person might have been LAURYN HILL before she went bonkers!! Foxy Brown rode Jay-Z's coat tails and once he kicked her off BRICK went the next album. Lil Kim rode BIGs Coat tails but as time went by you couldn't help but realize HMMM LIL KIMS LYRICS WERE BETTER WHEN BIG WAS ALIVE "BIG Ghostwriter"?? DUH!! Besides , Kim did the Queen of NY becaus BIG WAS THE TRUE KING OF NY!! and Kim LATCHED ON to BIG. DO your research by reading Faith and Big's First Kid's Baby Moms interviews and even Miss Wallace said LIL KIM was just SOME CHICK.

So now people, enjoy the cute little songs these chicks put out, but QUEEN OF NY ? with no sales (peep KIMS last album barely gold) YOU ALL NEED TO CHECK THE SCRIPT!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: CheckTheScript at June 5, 2006 02:09 PM

Is it me or does everybody ignore blogs written in all caps?

Lil Kim does not write her own shit. Remy looks cheap but she can spit.
Luck looks like she wears draws with dick holes in them.
Jean Grae is hot but she needs to be more consistent.
Babs got that fire but she looks like the "Crypt Keeper".
Shawna is hot but Luda casts a LONG shadow.
Foxy, well.. It's hard to sell DVD's filled with her performing in sign language.
Trina is a "secret" video leak away from returning to the "skripper" pole. Eve lost her passion for the mike.
Rah Digga is fire but, dammit, there's something too "mannish" about her.
Da Brat doesn't know whether she's a/c or d/c and jermaine is too busy writing for the other acts.
Bahamadia is MY age so don't nobody wanna hear her verses even though they're hot.
Lauren Hill is busy home in the mirror working on her "Dana Carvey" eyebrow raises and talking to herself.
The chicks from Crime Mobb dropped out of High shcool to "Knuck If You Buck" (Bad Move)
Missy could possibly be "that Houston Rapper" with the "Blicka". (Joke) But Missy is quite possibly too talented for her own good.
Mia X went and got grown on us, dealing with treal life issues.
Lady Soveirgn? I mean really, who's checkin' for a femcee from England? Hell, just because mainstream told us Dizzy Rascal was hot didn't make us run out and by his shit. I refuse to but shit I can't decipher.
That all.

Everybody keeps dissing Mobb Deep's performance. My cousin even said that the Franchise Guys had a better set than Mobb Deep. I can't believe that, but she was there(and she hates Franchise Guys).

I'm glad Busta showed the old school cats some love. Even though he old school too.

As for Remy, I think she dope. She just needs to ease off the sex appeal shit, like Conceited and that shit with Swizz. Her first two singles killed her buzz. I always thought of Remy and Rah Digga as in the same league. Leave the sex shit to the broads like Kim, Foxy, and Trina.

Remy should've kept it gutta all the way through.

Next time, Remy will sell. She just needs the right singles.

TOP 3 FEMALE MCs:

3. JEAN GRAE
2. JEAN GRAE
1. JEAN GRAE

'Cause she spit hot fire!!

For real though, I can't say enoug bout her. Yeah, she might not be commercialy successful because s I don't see her getting hoed out, but she could be the QUEEN OF NY UNDERGROUND!!!

As far as consistancy, she been steadily climbing. That last CD (this week) was sick. The Hurricane Jean and Dj Bizzaro mixtapes are ridicoulous.

I got a chance to talk wiht her in Richmond, she said she got 2 albums droppin this year - Geanius and another one. If you appreciate REAL SKILL, cop 'em both!!!!!!

70k?!

DAMNNNNNNNN
Sucks for her. But Chevy is right. I think she would have sold more if she wasn't talking that trina and lil kim shit.

I actually had no problem wit the "Whuteva" single. it was a str8 club joint. You only gonna get but so far wit a club joint cuz believe it or not ALL OF US DON'T LIVE IN THE CLUB. It was the "Conceited" single that threw people off. That wasn't the same person we heard on all them damn mixtapes.

give remy time she'll blow.... terrorsquad should have hung on just a little bit....... shine baby shine......

Posted by: vick at June 5, 2006 02:47 PM

And Jean Grae could call herself the Queen of the NY Underground. As long as she doesn't call herself The Underground Queen. Gangsta Boo has already laid claimed to that and has been for a while now. I guess she decided not to go for the Queen of the South title since dat has been a Battle Royale within itself (Trina, Jacki-O, Khia, Rasheeda, etc.)

Posted by: Adonys at June 5, 2006 02:49 PM

All bullshit aside she looking right in that pic up top....The lips, the thighs...all that shit is looking correct...If she looked like that and I met her she would get it in the nearest telly we could find...

Posted by: Black Friday at June 5, 2006 02:50 PM


Wait, hold up. When did female rappers begin to talk that sex shit anyway? When chicks came out rapping that were talking about the same shit dudes were talking about.

Which girl is responsible for fucking up the movement, by talking about thongs, weaves and sex 24/7?

Posted by: caff at June 5, 2006 02:51 PM

I feel u, BigUP,
I was the biggest Mobb fan, shit, them cats popped that shit that made you wanna punch somebody in the face AND juggle dem krills at 3:00 in the morning. A much as I loved Mobb it was Hard to take them seriously after those pictures on the Summer Jam Screen. I'm not saying that I BELIEVED these cats were murderers, thugs or hoodlums but their music fit their image. I kinda hard believe you when you sayin' "Cause ain't no such thing as halfway crooks.." with a cot damn tutu on.

Posted by: skdamc at June 5, 2006 02:51 PM

Be wary Black Friday,
Remy got that "lazy eye" thing goin' on, man. That shit can spook the hell out of you if you catch her at the right (wrong) angle. But all in all she's very smashable.

Posted by: skdamc at June 5, 2006 02:54 PM

REAL REPPIN HIPHOP ...

Just curious... what is it exactly that Lil Kim has accomplished? (Aside from the singles/people you said she "made hot")

Posted by: Dig at June 5, 2006 02:55 PM

Rah Digga is tight but.....

she old.

So takin her clothes off is a lil ridiculous at this point.

But don't get it twista, ma can spit wit the big boys.

Supposedly she's on Koch and is tryin to drop this year.

I agree with whoever said Remy played herself by being overly sexual. It's just not a good look. You can't be 'gully' one minute, then be on some lil Kim shit the next. No one is gonna take it seriously. Then you go out and diss Joe!!?? WTF is you thinkin! You don't have a loyal enough fan base to start shittin where you eat.

Posted by: willyjsimmons at June 5, 2006 02:56 PM

Im a mobb fan but I can't 50 ever dropping another Mobb album....I heard their show was wack too, almost as wack as Sean Pauls(u know thats wack as hell)....Shit aint looking too good for these cats right about now

Posted by: Black Friday at June 5, 2006 02:57 PM

how is being queen of new york profitable or pertaining to anything such as her rep? hoe is sexy though

Posted by: KING at June 5, 2006 02:58 PM

The problem with hip hop right now is that no one is listneing ot the lyrics. You want to measure the greatness of an emcee on record sales. Emcees should be judged on flow and lyrics period. In that category I think Remy ma is average at best. I've heard a lot of great female emcees and she doesnt hold a candle to any of them. Lauryn, Rah Digga, Jean Grae, Lil Kim (just take the verse on quiet storm). No based on records sales or image or anything else. The reason Remy is not selling is that she has no personality no swagger. When she rhymes I just don't beleive what she is saying. She rhymes like she saying what she is supposed to say (no creativity). If you want to hear some female emcees rip the mic try these links.

www.myspace.com/meetfallon

Lyrics and flow makes an emcee coming up with some original rhymes. Once you accomplish that Remy ma or whoever that speak to me about being Queen of anything.

Oh yeah:

Ya'll should read the Lucy Diamonds interview.

She says she is workin on a joint wit MC Lyte.

MC Lyte messed herself up when she tried to be 'sexy' so many years ago. That was just horrible.

Posted by: willyjsimmons at June 5, 2006 03:01 PM

That chick Nemiss is FIRE!!! She needs better beats but her lyrics are tight.

Posted by: skdamc at June 5, 2006 03:04 PM

skdamc and Black Friday

Yeah, I pretty much where yall are at on Hav and P.
