3479, Aiight, i just found out she used to be What-What, so Posted by neehiii, Fri May-28-04 04:35 AM
here stuff was tighter then. She was on a dope-ass J-Rawls cut, had collab'd w/Apani B, Was always collab'ing & popping up on shows as Wvkr(Vassar). Even remeber seeing here @ a Black Lilly here & there (in NYC).
At that time, her flow was mad similar, & the content was good. I was excited, as a male, to see a female hold herssss w/dudes.
Now, it's toooo obvious for her to go to the next level, she will need TRACKS.
True, if you nice, you can bust acapella & on any track, but how many times can you do that WITH FOLK STILL LISTENING?
It's high-time for beats, yo.
Maybe her style, presentation is purposefully laid-back (ala "uninspired" style). She needs a boost (beats) to support this style, just like Thought has for his, or Bus-a-Bus for his, or Slum Vill for theirs or Roots Manuva or Longshot, or WHOMEVA...
& for the record, tough-ass-line-for-line-straight-spit-STYLEEE, i think (& gonna get my ass doggged for this) FOXY BROWN is holdin it down for women. Don't give a shit if she raps like a dude, that FLOW is ILL. The lyrics aren't always, but the DELIVERY makes me wanna hear more.
Jeanius gotta get like that, or get dem beats, dannnng'it.
Or she's gonna have to do like the Bush Babees(except Mr Man) said once, "go get desk jobs".
Wuurd...
