The Best Female MC

I was jus sittin’ here listenin to my music when i started thynkin. Hmmmmmmmmmm…… I wonder why you never here the female mc’s arguing whos the queen of the south, whos the queen of new york, whos running this rap game, whos the illest mc since the Notorious One was laid to rest. Is it because they dont care bout titles or they just tryna show the world they can hang wit the big boys. So i started thynkin maybe ill ask yall, and yall can teell me, so if there was a queen to sit along side the king and the illest who would be the queen of hip hop/rap. Would it be Missy Elliot, Foxxy Brown, Lil’ Kim, Trina, Eve, or MC Lyte. If I didnt name some one you thynk should have this title then you put them on jumpstreet and tell why they should have the title.

Who’s Gonna Take the Throne

Nother Hot Topic from Cake&IceCream

Since she came out Mary J Blige has been holding it down as the reigning queen of Hip-Hop Soul. This is not only my opinion, but also the opinion of many journalists and music enthusiasts as well. Mary was the first to take hip-hop beats and smooth them out with an R&B flow. Of course no one will replace Mary, she has earned her spot in the music history books and is well on her way to becoming a legend. But what artist do you think is up next to wear the crown? Here are a few contenders (but feel free to add in your own choices): Ashanti, Keyshia Cole, Olivia, or Fantasia. All of the those women share a similiar style to that of Mary. They all sing R&B vocals but with a hip-hop edge. My vote goes to Keyshia Cole, when she sings, it gives me that same feeling that Mary’s music gives me. You can feel it in your soul and you know that it is coming from her heart. Not to mention Keyshia is also hood like Mary, she has that street edge. But that’s just my opinion, WHAT’S YOURS???

Well i agree i cans ee Keyshia being the next Queen of Hip Hop Soul, nobody else has a chance to even get near the title while Keyshia’s still in the game. Whenever she sings you can just feel whatever emotion shes tryna to get across. I thynk Keyshia could take any Mary joint and make her own and  we would still feel the pain or happiness that Mary made us feel.

Ciara vs Ashanti

I was at this other blog Cake and Ice Cream and they had this topic so heres my reply.

I received a lot of request for this Hot Topic, so I decided to go ahead and have two new Hot Topics. So here we go…
Ashanti released her first cd in 2002. Ciara released her debut album last year. They’ve both experienced huge amounts of success in short periods of time and they both have also been criticised for not having strong singing voices. Some people say that neither of them are talented (I disagree). They both are beautiful, driven, and successful young women. If I have to choose, though I think they both are talented, my choice is Ciara. Ciara , like Ashanti, doesn’t have a very strong voice but she’s an excellent dancer, unlike Ashanti. But that’s the only reason I have for choosing Ciara because I really think they are about equal. But now I am asking you, who do you prefer??? Who, in your opinion, is the most talented between the two???

The more talented out of the two i would probably have to say, and i hate saying it is Ashanti. Ashanti wins this, and thats not good. This is how i break it down.

Dance Ability- Well we’ve all seen her make a fool out of herslef by trying to dance especially wit Only You. Then You got Ciara everyone knows that Ciara is killin everyone out right now when it comes to the dancin, my ultimate showdown at the moment would be watchin Usher, Omarion, Chris Brown, and Ciara battle it out by breakin and id even throw Mario into the mix.

Round 1 goes to Ciara

Singing Ability- Well neither one has a Beyonce let alone an Alicia Keys voice and there voices arnt that strong. But then you have to think about whos voice is stronger. Ashanti or Ciara’s, you got Ashanti average voice or Ciara’s airy voice. So there ya go.

Round 2 goes to Ashanti.

Its neck and neck to im going to the tie breaker.

Marketablity(Ways to make money outside of singing )- Well that would include writing songs for other artists, producing, acting, being a spokes-person, etc. Well you have Ashanti i dont care what no one says the ho cant act, im upset wit MTV and Paramount for giving her that role in Coach Carter when they know they should have given it to Adrien Bailon of 3LW., but people never learn cuz she showed up in the Muppets remake of the Wizard of Oz. Ciara hasnt made her debut in movies yet but she will very soon in a MTV Movie about VolleyBall, but i thynk she needs to get in You Got Served 2, naybe she will she is touring wit Omarion. Then you have other things Ashanti has her own clothing line with Mudd Jeans and shes been the spokes woman for many companies and has had her hands in writing hit songs for herself and other artists such as J-Ho. Now Ciara hasnt had a chance to do all the extra stuff and i doubt if she wrote songs for anyone on this album, so the winner because of experience is Ashanti.

Round 3 goes to Ashanti.

And thats how i broke down who should win, give Ciara a year and I thynk she’ll be the hands down winner.
