1993 I believe....

I can't even remember any RnB singer who had anything that stood ouf that year...

Me'shell came out of nowhere...damn near bald, short, dark skinned, mannish looking woman rapping about stealing someone's man, playing THE FUCK out of bass black and white video with just different and HOT ass looking women talking about the men they stole, who left them, etc.

then we find out Madge-boops (aka faux brit madonna) signed her to Maverick right after Alanis (or were they at the same time and Me'shell came out later?), and Me'Shell comes out as bisexual...

some controversy THEN we find out her (Me'shell's) history in DC gogo, etc.

SHE was atypical in 1993 onward...
