In August, the elusive artist popped up on the Nas track вЂњNobody,вЂќ one of 15 songs on KingвЂ™s Disease II.В The cut arrived 25 years after they originally connected on вЂњIf I Ruled The World (Imagine That)вЂќ from NasвЂ™ sophomore album It Was Written.ДЄside from illustrating HillвЂ™s lyrical aptitude, her meticulous verse showed sheвЂ™s well aware of what people say about her: вЂњNow let me give it to you balanced and with clarity/IВ donвЂ™t need to turn myself into a parody/I donвЂ™t, I donвЂ™t do the shit you do for popularity/ They clearly didnвЂ™t understand when I said вЂњI Get OutвЂќ apparently/ My awareness like Keanu in The Matrix/IвЂ™m savinвЂ™ souls and yвЂ™all complaininвЂ™ вЂ™bout my lateness/ Now itвЂ™s illegal for someone to walk in greatness/They want the same shh, but they donвЂ™t take risks.вЂќ But still, the Fugees MC/singerВ made more noise in 2021 than she has in a long time. Lauryn HillДonвЂ™t call it a comeback - Lauryn Hill has been here for years. In an effort to highlight some of the women whoвЂ™ve contributed to Hip Hop/rap this year, HipHopDX has compiled a list of some of the women who somehow impacted the space. Yes, some of it is homogenized to the point of of boredom, but the variety is there - we just have to dig a little. From City Girls and Coi Leray to Little Simz and Tierra Whack, the rap landscape has permanently shifted toward inclusivity. While mainstays such as Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B still crush the pop-rap charts whenever they drop new music, 2021 has seen an explosion of female rappers who are making their mark. Needless to say, women are leading the charge in a typically вЂњmale-dominatedвЂќ industry - and that includes the artists. In 2019, Desiree Perez was appointed as CEO of Roc Nation and named вЂњExecutive of the YearвЂќ by BillboardВ a few months later. Reid as Epic RecordsвЂ™ new president where sheвЂ™s bolstered the careers of artists such as Future and Travis Scott while launching the next generation of hitmakers. In 2014, Sylvia RhoneВ was handpicked by L.A. Women have continued to shatter the glass ceiling as Hip Hop has evolved over the years.

вЂњThe Mother of Hip HopвЂќ Sylvia Robinson, founder and CEO of Sugar Hill Records, was the driving force behind two groundbreaking singles: The Sugarhill GangвЂ™s вЂњRapperвЂ™s DelightвЂќ and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious FiveвЂ™s вЂњThe Message.вЂќ Each song helped introduce Hip Hop to a more mainstream audience, immortalizing both groups in the process. While DJ Kool Herc is credited with throwing the iconic Back To School Jam on Aug(Hip HopвЂ™s birthday), it was his sister Cindy Campbell who helped mastermind the whole event. These are the 25 greatest hip-hopВ groups of all time.Д®ligibility:В Groups of 3+ members with at least two albums were eligible.Д¬riteria:В Points were awarded based on cultural impact, originality, quality, and consistency.Women have been integral to Hip Hop since its inception. These are the groups that live on in hip-hop lore. We cherish OutKast and The Roots because they somehow pinched our hard-wiring and resonated with our humanity. and Public Enemy because they changed the landscape of hip-hop with their activism. And groups like Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill showed that hip-hopВ has the power to bridge cultural gaps.

De La Soul proved that three really is the magic number. The Wu-Tang Clan set the bar high for large crews.

The best rap groups come in various shades and sizes. It also helps if the sum of the group is greater than its individual parts. What makes a great rapВ group? Is it chemistry? Personalities?В The bodyВ of work? All the essential ingredients have to be in place, of course.
