"Rapsody: Time to give her some Props: BET tonight.."
I can't front, I'm proud that Rapsody is from NC like me. She is a product of very hard work. People had a lot of doubt several years ago but she never stopped. After several mixtapes, a very nice debut album The Idea of Beautiful and most recently the She Got Game mixtape with DJ Drama, she has made her way. Tonight she will spit with the fellas on the BET awards. She has gained respect and done tracks with at least 20 mc's who have done well in hip hop (2-3 are legends)..Yes, 9th Wonder has pushed and promoted the hell out of her but that's his artist. That is what you suppose to do. Ok...question time..
1. Have you heard any of her work? 2. What do you think about her skills? 3. Does she has potential to be a bigger star? 4. Who else would you like to see her work with? 5. Random comment_____________________

I'm from Columbia, SC but went to college in Greensboro so anybody that is with 9th, Phonte, or Big Pooh i look out for....
>1. Have you heard any of her work? Yeah I have...I have some of her mixtapes. She Got Game is arguably one of the best releases this year in my opinion.
>2. What do you think about her skills? She is one of the best rappers out period...not just FEMALE...period...
>3. Does she has potential to be a bigger star? The Female MC is an endangered species. She has the potential to be a respected MC in the business but in this environment, it's tough to get to Nicki Minaj status if you get my drift....
>4. Who else would you like to see her work with? Her and Tariq would crush a 9th Wonder beat. Jay-Z, Nas, and K.Dot...
>5. Random comment_____________________ I hope she gets noticed tonight at the BET Cypher. And I hope she murks everybody in her cypher. The hip hop is missing the pure female MC in the mainstream and hopefully she can fill that void.

1. Have you heard any of her work?
Yes. I have her album, mix tape, etc.
2. What do you think about her skills?
She's great. I like her more personal songs...she can rap circles around most female rappers and lots of the guys too.
3. Does she has potential to be a bigger star?
Yes. Although I think she needs to develop more as an artist. Also, I think it's hard(er) for female artists with BS like Nicki minaj, etc. i.e.. it's hard to be taken seriously as a female artist without resorting to twerking and shit.
4. Who else would you like to see her work with?
Shit. she's doing pretty good on the guest front. Common and her are a good match.
1) Ive heard most of the stuff she done w. Jamla, catalogue deep... Lots of treasures in there...
2) I think she´s a dope emcee, equally confident and laidback in delivery, lyrics have got depth and personality to me, and she can still bring it on the represent rappityrap circuit...
3) She a star to me.
4) Id actually want more of her work with Amp to be released, maybe even a one emcee/producer album...
