I’m an avid hip hop fan and I love female rappers. I study them thoroughly, compare them and buy their music. My favorite rapper of all time was Lauryn Hill. He had a beauty inside and out and I loved his songs and his lyricism. I even got to meet her once when she was on top of the world with her group, The Fugees, and she was very humble. I will always treasure that moment.

Over the years, the status of female rappers in the mainstream music industry has declined. Some say they can’t sell records. Some say they are simply not as talented as men. I do not agree with both theories. I think a rapper can sell records if they are promoted correctly. And the theory of rappers can’t rap better than that of men? Lauryn Hill could go toe-to-toe with some of the best male rappers today, so I don’t agree with that position.

Now, let’s fast forward to today’s rappers. I ran into a rapper named Shy Thoro in Washington, DC. She performed in a club that I don’t remember the name of, but I had never seen anyone like her. It really reminded me of Lauryn Hill. She instilled a level of lyricism, but at the same time it was catchy. The flow was diverse and flawless, her stage presence was flawless, she had great songs, and she was beautiful.

She was a general cheerleader. I called it a hidden gem. Now my only question was … why didn’t he sign with any record label? No one has picked it up yet and I couldn’t believe it. Maybe it was because she didn’t shy away from sex and everyone knows that sex sells? She was classy, ​​so maybe it was her fault? Anyway, I thought to myself that I was going to push this young rapper the best I could and I hope the right doors open. I suggest you do the same if you also miss the ‘rapper’ element in today’s rap world. Support your favorite artists. Let these big record labels know that you still want to see them.
