Young Women Of Hip Hop Coming Together

Whats up people? It's def a chill night for me indeed. So I've been up browsing the internet as usual looking for or rather running into, so many talented female MC's! I have seen a good 15-20 if not more female mc's out here grinding in the internet world. I've been dong my research and I believe we as female MC's could have a big impact on the world if we came together.

I would love to collab with some of these amazing talented women that I have seen and heard thus far! Some of them live right here in America and others live in places like the UK and such. I believe we have so much to give and show the world as women. We may be small in number but we would be quite powerful if we came together and did more collaborations. I think the whole "women are too catty and jealous of one another to collab" idea should be thrown out the window. Put it like this, "If your art is hot, and you think my art is hot, let's work together!" After all this is our generation and our time to shine! I believe there is enough to go around for everyone!

I'll give you a small and incomplete list of women I'd love to come to an acquaintance with and work with one day in the industry, underground or mainstream. I love all of it and all of them inspire me to do me in my own rhyme's. It's raw talent and I appreciate all of these lovely and dynamic ladies for having the BALL'S to step up and let their voices be heard around the world through hip hop.

I'm the type of woman to show love, because we all need that in our lives. Not only that, but these ladies are truly blessed! I mean some of these girl's flows are undeniable, and I'm actually wondering why a lot of them haven't gotten signed yet! But even in that case, a lot of artists are finding out that to do their thing, they don't even need a label! I mean I found these girls by just looking around on the web! I didn't need to go to a record label site to find them. ANd they have thousands of followers behind them. So that is living proof that they grind hard and gain fan's through the internet.

A BIG SHOUT OUT to all of the women of hip hop who have passed the mic on and those who currently have the mic in their hands. Hey! If you run across this blog know that you've got my support! Real Talk!

Here's some of the women I either want to work with, find inspiration from, or just plain old digg their movement!

Missy Elliot, Lauryn Hill, Da Brat, Jean Grae, Eve, No_Lay, Lady Lesurr, Baby Blue, Candi Redd, Kanaray Diamond, Nicki Minaj, Babi Mac, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Diamond (crime mobb), Lioness, Miss NaNa, SHEE, Patawa....

These ladies make me proud to say I am a rapper! All of them bring something different to the table and all have great strength! There are sooooo many more women out there who go hard in the paint that I did not name in the list above!! And thank God for the one's who have gone before us (Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez, etc.) because people like her paved the way for us today who are coming up in the game.

Some of these ladies have been on their grind for years! Others not that long, but we all are BEAUTIFUL QUEENS with the gift of gab! I hope a lot of them get out there and get big so the world can see different sides to women's hip hop! I know it's a tight risk for these record labels.

I want to have a way where I can collab with some of these ladies...We have strength in numbers and I think a lot of younger women need to see more positive female figures in todays societies. And being that the african american hip hop culture is a great way to influence, we should work together. I also think it would be a great way to promote one another as female artists. I don't think it should be just one woman out there repping for ALL of US because I know it can be tough! Plus we are so colorful in our expressions, it cannot be contained in just one way.

BIG UP's to Nicki Minaj. She's doing her thing and is the main focus in the woman's rap game at this time. I think she is doing a good job, and I'd work with her in a heart beat. I don't think it wouldn't hurt the world to see other ladies doing their thing as well. SO ladies, lets support one another! after all......We are all that we've got! Hit me up!*******

Let The Nay Sayers and Hater's Talk!

What's up everyone? I hope all is well on your end! I just wanted to again, thank everyone who is actually taking the time out to find out about who I am and what I do. If you happen to run past this blog, I am an up and coming female MC. Not only that, I am an aspiring interior designer who is in school working on obtaining my degree. For just a brief..And I mean very BRIEF moment, I want to let you know, that if you have a dream of becoming a GREAT person I encourage you to go for it! If you wait on that perfect moment you will probably be waiting for a very long time! Now I know that everyone isn't going to like my music and what I rap about, but understand, that is a choice that you the listener must make! I've already made up my mind that this is what I DO! When you reach for a goal, there will be thousands of people who will not understand you or what you have to say, but that means it's not ment for them to understand it or like it. DON'T BE DISCOURAGED!!!! This only means that people are listening and watching for your next move rather they like it or not! IT MEANS YOU ARE DOING YOUR JOB! I am on many social networks on the internet promoting myself. And honestly I love it. Rather I get signed, make lots of money, or get on national television, this is not why I do what I do. I rap because I love it. I rap because it is IN ME! I want people to hear my music. And if you happen to like it, you can share it with others. Those are the main two reasons, the love, and for others to hear! If you haven't already subscribed to my youtube, liked my fan base on FaceBook,Found me on myspace, haven't followed any of my twitter account's, or downloaded any of my music, I suggest that you do if you'd like to keep up with my movement! Hey GOD BLESS and keep a positive attitude! I want every woman to know she is beautiful and to every man his is beautiful too! It's about the nature and soul of an individual. I'll see you all soon! -TrendSetterTina
