if you listen to more female rappers such as Lil' Kim, Da Brat, Missy Elliot, Nicki Minaj, you'll appreciate 'something' in rap that you never did when you heard it from a guy. and that is pure, real, untouched by negative issues MUSIC.

The first rap song I heard was Slim Shady by Eminem which has a music video of a fat lady eating a burger with some phlegm on it. seriously, how sick can rapping get?

But when i discovered Lil' Kims "No Matter What People Say", i made the conclusion that rap, though probably just 5% or close to none in these modern times, can bring a positive message accross the world.
