makes that distinction anymore. If Lauryn Hill came out today, where would she fall?

I dont know what she is. I’m just shocked she hasn’t been clowned or sued for ripping off Rae Sremmurds Black Beetles for the entire melody/cadence of her hit song.

13348888, I hate defending Lizzo, I really do...

I'm not a fan of hers. I'm actually somewhat of a Lizzo hater. But I'm from the city where her music career took off. I've seen her come-up in a way that most people haven't. And she's absolutely a rapper. She's not "just" a rapper, but she is a rapper.

13349058, To Tell You The Truth I've Never Considered Missy Elliott A Rapper Either
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Tue Sep-24-19 09:38 PM
Nor did I consider Left-Eye a rapper either, and when Lauryn Hill put out her solo album, I stopped thinking she was a rapper too; but these are all just my opinions on labeling an artist by category.
