The Female Hip-Hop Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 7

About this episode

The episode discusses the greatest female rappers, their impact, and the future of female hip hop.

Let’s be real… every time y’all talk about the greatest female rapper, the conversation gets real selective. This week, Micah B is out, but Alex, AP, Dupree, and returning former cohost Justin B. Smith step in and hold it down. We kick things off with The Quickie asking one question… who is the greatest female rapper of all time? And from the start, the answers get real. From debates around Nicki Minaj vs. Missy Elliott to conversations about impact, versatility, and who really transcends the genre, the tone is set early. From there, the episode turns into a full breakdown of female hip hop, past, present, and what’s next. We get into: • The Mount Rushmore of female rap and who actually deserves a spot • The influence of legends like Lil’ Kim, MC Lyte, and Da Brat • How artists like Sexyy Red and GloRilla are shaping the current sound • The difference between personality, hits, and real artistry • Whether a short run is enough to be considered one of the greats The conversation also explores how the sound of female rap has evolved, who has truly challenged the genre, and what it takes to have longevity in an industry that has not always made space for women, especially Black…
