Queen Latifah
 

Way back in the early nineties, before she was an actress, she was a helluva good hip hop artist. All Hail The Queen and Black Reign are seminal must haves for hip hop fans imo. Her rapping is very demanding of attention, you can't NOT listen to her, and the production is hot stuff. Decent singer too.

She was actually pretty damn good. Its sad that she got all corporate and started making romantic comedies.

I actually like Bringing Down The House. :rofl:

Hmm. Can't say I saw it.......

That was something I learned today.

Yep Bringin Down the House is hilarious. I actually think she does a better job acting than she did rapping.

Ladies First is a damn fine track but it's the only track I have and ever heard (that I know of). Did she make a solid, listenable album then?

i'm pretty sure Ladies First was on every episode of "Yo! MTV Raps" for a solid year....it became pretty hard not to like it

Do any of you people remember the version of "Fame" she did with David Bowie?
