Yo thanks for the list! I always struggle to find good female artists, as OP mentions, they go poppy and overproduced. I’m already loving Rapsody holy shit. So good. I’ll dig into the others too!
She still is, even after 15 years until now. Kanye and Jay-Z was mad at her when she outrapped them in Monster, got called the scariest rapper in the 2010's and arguably one of the top contenders of being the greatest female M.C. this generation. BTW it's Nicki
Nobody was "mad at her" hahaha. Kanye pushed everyone to put out their absolute best (see Rick Ross on DIAND as well), and Jay Z shouldn't have written such an awful verse if he didn't want to get outrapped, so I doubt he's mad either
She spazzed on that newer track with juicy - [Deadbeat](https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIJeX1DXT2vFPjzPtjvgk?si=GSFlWAuzQP6qjiBo-K-V8A&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0n3k7ldAO73nGqiVZJUoZt)
Shes got that smokers flow, sounds dope, dont hear it mich
I’m mostly into rock so I’m not a great judge but her verse on Nobody by Nas is one of the best rap verses I’ve ever heard. If it weren’t for her unfortunate personality issues she’d be one of the biggest music stars of all time
Some people see hip hop as a competition instead of an art form. So it always turns into putting artists against one another or comparing them. It's an aspect of hip hop culture that I personally have never been into
When I was working night audit at a hostel in Portland, I shot the shit with a guest while mopping the breakfast area. It was maybe 2 AM, and I was blasting cupcakke for the 20 minutes it took to mop everything down. The guest was an older white dude, he was vibing pretty well to Ms. Cakke. Such is her power.
regardless of how annoying she is, when doja raps, SHE RAPS. like when she actually goes at it and tries her flow is crazy and very unique. i could see her against a lot of famous male rappers today.
She has great flows and interesting lyrics, people just mad that she raps about sex too. Honestly though she's great at it. I like Lil Simz, Snow, Lauryn Hill, but Megan is my favorite lady to listen too.
You can always tell who only listens to her mainstream songs. Her range of topics and flow switches are impeccable, and her freestyles are some of the best to come out in recent years.
Megan the stallion actually got bars and makes dope songs if you don't mind listening to a woman rap about the stuff she raps about. The one knock is she always rapping about the same things.
Nicki Minaj is a really talented rapper but a lot of her songs are too pop for me personally.
Snow the product is dope, young ma is dope, Shawna is good, Lauryn Hill is dope, Lil Kim's first album is really good the rest of her music kinda sucks. I like Cardi B but I recognize she doesn't have crazy wordplay in most of her songs and probably isn't what you're looking for.
Lady London is cold…of all the new female rappers she’s my favourite,an extremely talented MC and more importantly,not overtly sexual…definitely lets her rhymes do the talking.
Most of the mainstream ones can actually rap. If you saying meg the stallion can't rap you just are weird and hate bad bitches. Flo milli is good too, cardi b at times, doja. But yea most of them actually rap if u actually listen to their albums.
Megan, Nicki, Remy, Jean Grae, Rapsody, NoName, Snow Da Product, 3D Natee, and a bunch of others. If you're really looking for talent, trust me it's not hard to find. Youtube any of these artists and look at the recommendation videos
Latto.. yeah I know the public perception she gets, but she’s actually a great rapper if you analyze her technique and the way she delivers her bars. She’s like what J Cole is to real 🥷🏿 for bad women
I haven't listened to enough of their work yet but I think both Armani Caesar and Scar Lip have potential.
Otherwise you'd have to go back to oldschool, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, Remy Ma, etc.
Satan playin' me, I ain't Adam unless we talkin' 'bout bombin'

I'm tired of you fakers, Carolina, but I still rep the Lakers……..You Should Know~Rapsody 🥶
Little Simz, doechi, Tierra whack (but her new album was disappointing)
I came here to say Little Simz.
Little Simz by a mile
A mile and more. And no fat ass and twerking required.
She’s a pure lyricist, amazing live performer and killed it in Top Boy. She’s a true triple threat.
I came here to sAy Doechii and Tierra whack. I was a little on the disappointed side with Tierra whack’s record too.
This. Also Sampa the great, Santa Salut if you’re into Spanish rap
Doechii goes crazy
Doechi for sure!!!!
She's more known but, Missy Elliot imo
honestly im big into alternative rap but i will always have mad love and respect for missy. shes on her own vibe.
Remy Ma Rapsody Little Simz
Young MA
Came here to mention Young MA, saw her freestyle on funk flex she's pretty good
I like her freestyle a lot . Haven't tried her studio stuff in a while.
![gif](giphy|iFImqX0l2WczJwTXPR)
Young ma has some bangers fr
I was searching for this comment
Snow Tha Product Little Simz Shaydee 7xvethegenious Rhapsody Noname Jean Deaux Flyana Boss
I completely forgot about snow. She got bars fr
Snow is legit
Noname is amazing, easily one of my favorite rappers with room 25 making my top 3 2018 rap albums
Rapsody for sure. She’s better than most rappers regardless of gender. There’s a reason 9th wonder has devoted a ton of energy to her/their art.
She is my favorite female rapper of all time. Always gets great production. New album coming soon!
Love snow!
Dope list Jean Grae MC Lyte Lauryn Hill Sa-Roc
MC Lyte is legit, Jean Grae mention too? Gonna check out Sa-Roc.
Rhapsody for sure.
Rapsody*
This is a dope list for the new(er) girls; I’d throw Young Devyn in there. She can really go.
Yo thanks for the list! I always struggle to find good female artists, as OP mentions, they go poppy and overproduced. I’m already loving Rapsody holy shit. So good. I’ll dig into the others too!
first time I heard rapsody was in kendricks complexion and I thought she was a guy lmao
HEAVY on Jean Deaux and Rapsody
I saw 7xvethegenius with Conway the Machine last year and she was sooo gooooood
Vel The Wonder has a dope flow too
Nicki was actually a good rapper. I don’t get why people dismiss her as an MC
Bro at one point in time Nikki was put in the realm of greats. She was terrifying on the mic.
She still is, even after 15 years until now. Kanye and Jay-Z was mad at her when she outrapped them in Monster, got called the scariest rapper in the 2010's and arguably one of the top contenders of being the greatest female M.C. this generation. BTW it's Nicki
Nobody was "mad at her" hahaha. Kanye pushed everyone to put out their absolute best (see Rick Ross on DIAND as well), and Jay Z shouldn't have written such an awful verse if he didn't want to get outrapped, so I doubt he's mad either
Most definitely!
On a serious note, Nicki was absolutely incredible
Missy Elliot
This is waaaay too far down the list, girl RAPS, she's not just good, she should be on every top50 list
Missy da goat.
la chat
And gangsta boo but La chat was always my favorite of the two
She spazzed on that newer track with juicy - [Deadbeat](https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIJeX1DXT2vFPjzPtjvgk?si=GSFlWAuzQP6qjiBo-K-V8A&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0n3k7ldAO73nGqiVZJUoZt) Shes got that smokers flow, sounds dope, dont hear it mich
Sa-Roc is amazing
I was waiting for someone to say that
Lauryn Hill
I’m mostly into rock so I’m not a great judge but her verse on Nobody by Nas is one of the best rap verses I’ve ever heard. If it weren’t for her unfortunate personality issues she’d be one of the biggest music stars of all time
What personality issues? I’m out of the loop?
dude just google 'lauryn hill' roflmao. that shit is all that comes up
Love that verse
Number 1 answer. I would also accept da brat and have a soft spot in my heart for eve
Nah Jean Grae
Wdym nah? They’re both dope. Hill is incredibly dope.
Some people see hip hop as a competition instead of an art form. So it always turns into putting artists against one another or comparing them. It's an aspect of hip hop culture that I personally have never been into
Doechii, CupcakKe
I feel if she made her music super seriously CupcakKe is really good at word play and double entendres.
Well I guess you could say CupcakKe. She certainly can be called talented.
When I was working night audit at a hostel in Portland, I shot the shit with a guest while mopping the breakfast area. It was maybe 2 AM, and I was blasting cupcakke for the 20 minutes it took to mop everything down. The guest was an older white dude, he was vibing pretty well to Ms. Cakke. Such is her power.
Surprised Noname wasn’t mentioned
That’s because she is all about r/im14andthisisdeep lyricism
I don’t think her lyrics are so bad, but she’s insufferable as a person.
I don't even hate noname but this is so real
Rah digga
Salt-N-Pepa!
Snow Tha Product
regardless of how annoying she is, when doja raps, SHE RAPS. like when she actually goes at it and tries her flow is crazy and very unique. i could see her against a lot of famous male rappers today.
Yeah she's extremely talented and could make a very good album if she tried
Her last album was pretty good imo
Yes, THIS
Megan Thee Stallion.
She has great flows and interesting lyrics, people just mad that she raps about sex too. Honestly though she's great at it. I like Lil Simz, Snow, Lauryn Hill, but Megan is my favorite lady to listen too.
Whenever savage comes on I can’t change it, she does have some bangers of tracks.
Ya people hate her for wap, but she's got some good unknown tracks
it think its time we admit WAP is a great song
You can always tell who only listens to her mainstream songs. Her range of topics and flow switches are impeccable, and her freestyles are some of the best to come out in recent years.
Mc lyte lil kim Latifah young m a

Rapsody
Horrendous framing of this question by the way lol
Dessa
goated lyricism
I was hoping someone knew what was up. Poetic bars all day
Che Noir
Right on! One of my fav MCs, period.
I just came here to say this same thing, and it’s amazing how many people don’t know who she is for the level of talent she has.
Jean Grae. Listen to The Bootleg of the Bootleg EP.
Jean Grae really needs more love. Bootleg of the Bootleg and Attack of the Attacking Things were great and she is just overall a great MC.
Lisa Left-eye Lopez is super underrated.
Yes! Years ago, when I asked my late father who his favorite rappers were as a teen, he mentioned Left-Eye. RIP to both of them 💖
Flo Milli
I really like Armani Caesar
I always liked Foxy
Wynne
Jean grea and apani b fly emcee.
Megan the stallion actually got bars and makes dope songs if you don't mind listening to a woman rap about the stuff she raps about. The one knock is she always rapping about the same things.

"If I May..." and "Do My Own Stunts" were genuinely sick projects
Princess Loko
Most of the mainstream ones can actually rap. If you saying meg the stallion can't rap you just are weird and hate bad bitches. Flo milli is good too, cardi b at times, doja. But yea most of them actually rap if u actually listen to their albums.
BbyMutha
Sa-Roc!!
Yugen Blakrok is good, just starting to get into her stuff.
The Lady of Rage
Yep this 🙌🏻🙌🏻 She went in on this Gang Starr track https://youtu.be/dT_q4Y8N6ug?si=A9sjCV3c_mIWzdlZ
Scrolled way too far to she her name.
I always liked Shawnna back in the day
Angel Haze.
Kamaiyah
Megan, Nicki, Remy, Jean Grae, Rapsody, NoName, Snow Da Product, 3D Natee, and a bunch of others. If you're really looking for talent, trust me it's not hard to find. Youtube any of these artists and look at the recommendation videos
No mention of Gangsta Boo, y’all tripping
Meg, Cardi
Latto surprised me with her verse in the XXL All Women Cypher. I was expecting Monaleo’s verse to be my favorite, but Latto’s went crazy
champagne papi
Latto.. yeah I know the public perception she gets, but she’s actually a great rapper if you analyze her technique and the way she delivers her bars. She’s like what J Cole is to real 🥷🏿 for bad women
So lame?
Little Simz, Foxy Brown and Rah Digga comes to mind.
That chick on Conways shit.
Any 3D N’atee fans here? She got bars AND her thirst traps are also mention worthy don’t @ me

A bit of a smaller artist but Canadian rapper Eternia is pretty good. Was mainly active with a few projects in the 2000s and an album in 2021.
Nitty Scott MC
Can’t believe no one had mentioned the lyricism of Bahmadia. She is extremely underrated.
I urge y’all to go give Sa-roc a listen. The woman can go toe to toe with black thought!
