Lord Jamar on Women in Hip-Hop: “I don’t f*ck with female rappers”

Lord Jamar has shifted his opinion away from Eminem and is now focusing on women rappers and why he exactly doesn’t think they are real Hip-Hop.

During an interview with Battle Code’s Bosschick Raine, the Brand Nubian member let his latest spicy thought out.

“I don’t fuck with female rappers,” Jamar said. “The same reason I don’t fuck with white rappers or wack rappers: I can’t resonate with what a woman is talking about. Now, listen — can I appreciate a sista that can rhyme good? Yes. Rah Digga can rhyme. She’s dope. Bahamadia, dope. But do I wanna listen to a female rhyming about female shit? It doesn’t resonate with me.”

The hat tip toward Digga, his co-host on the Yanadameen GODCAST and Bahamadia was met with a retort about Lauryn Hill.

“You got some people that’ll say [The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill] was damn near an R&B album … I loved Lauryn Hill. She was one of the only female albums that I actually really did listen to on some ‘this is the soundtrack for a minute,’” Jamar responded.

Lord Jamar would also highlight MC Lyte stating she gets a pass because Hip-Hop was in a different state and she “was almost like a tomboy at that time.”

He would go on to state his status as an alpha male is what won’t allow him to align with women rappers and stated the female counterpart of Black music is R&B.

Let us know if you agree with Lord Jamar. You can hear the interview below.

Jermaine Dupri caught an avalanche of slander from a bevy of women rappers after he criticized them and compared them to being like strippers. After getting a strong lesson on women in the game that can do whatever they want in music just like the men are allowed, the veteran Atlanta producer announced the launch of a new women-focused venture.

“After all the calls,DMs, angry tweets and other messages saying “I am a major gatekeeper in the hip hop world,why don’t I invest in a female who is out here hustling and making a name for herself?” I decided to create the #SoSoDefFemalecypher, details coming soon,” Dupri wrote on his social media accounts.

On Twitter, R&B singer 6lack checked Dupri on the curious timing of the SoSoDef Female Cypher.

“[W]omen in hip hop don’t need representation/approval from men (ya cypher sounds more reactive than proactive). if u don’t have a fav artist that hits on the subjects u wanna hear, u could solve that wit a quick search & some support. plus, IF they do wanna talk about sex, they can,” 6lack wrote via Twitter.

Dupri fired back with, “You right!! they can talk about whateva they wanna talk about and I can have my opinion right ?” which didn’t endd there. 6lack returned fire saying, “sure, but “they all talkin about the same thing” ain’t accurate lol. i got an amazing playlist that i didn’t even break a sweat to make.”

Time will tell if the So So Def boss nails the concept.
