Where Is The Unity Within The Female Rap Game?

Everybody has been talking about the whole Lil Kim vs. Nicki Minaj beef for the last few days and as I watch videos and read interviews on this issue, I asked myself what happened to the unity within female rappers? Have we forgotten the phrase “girl power?” Honestly speaking as a fan, I think the beef is lame. Maybe I’m living a fantasy but I long for the days when female rappers could come together and do a “Ladies’ Night” type of track again. The problem with this rap game is that it has become a dog eat dog type of world. So now we have a vet in the game expressing why she’s the originator of whatever Nicki Minaj is doing, because…well… she wants the relevancy of being the hottest in the game. Let’s keep it real though, Kim does not need to be relevant, it has now become a want for her to be relevant. So I ask the question what difference does it make to pay homage or not? I have never heard Nicki Minaj speak ill of any of the female vets in the rap game. She shows them respect and love all the time in her interviews.

So is this issue deep for Kim? Maybe. If so, then is it relevant for the public to know? Is it battle rap worthy like “Ether” and “Takeover” or is it 50 and Ja type of beef? What is it, and why is there only one female rapper being highlighted as the hottest right now? Trina just released an album and can anybody name a song off of it? The point here is this, if female rappers stuck together, it would be hard to silence their voices. Instead it’s the principle and respect for many of them, and while I understand principles, I’m also allergic to negative publicity. When will these artists put out the music and let the fans decide who’s hotter? If Kim, was really trying to make a point we would have heard about five diss records right now, but we haven’t and the way things are going we probably won’t. So if its not as serious as it is being displayed to us, will all the female rappers out right now come together and shut the game down, PLEASE!? Otherwise, marinate on why there is only one female rapper hot in the game and how you can get a piece of that success. Just sayin’….now carry on with your regularly scheduled programs!
