Female Rappers
List of Top 100 Female Rap Artists
The once male dominated industry has now become more diverse as female rappers have not only proven that they are just as talented, but that have also proven to attract more fans, make bigger hit songs, and have better performances.
Today, the times are changing with the rise of female hip hop artists that are slowly changing the demographics of the rap game and hip hop within the music industry. Female hip hop artists have come ways since the 1980s. In hip-hop’s early days, where rap music was strictly based in and around New York City, there were only a few female artists, like Roxanne Shante, Sparky D, MC Lyte, Sha-Rock, Queen Latifah, and Salt N Pepa, all who had a place in hip hop from the late 1970s to the beginning of the 1990s.
The next generation of female rappers came during the late 1990s and into the early and mid-2000s. This generation consisted of artists like Missy Elliot, Lil Kim, Lauryn Hill, Eve, Foxy Brown, and few others, during an era that was the most successful era. The success arose from Lauryn Hill releasing one of the top selling albums of all-time, Missy Elliot dropping hit after hit, and Lil Kim pioneering a style of hip-hop that would be imitated by future female rappers. As southern hip-hop has taken over the music industry, southern female artists like Mia X, Trina, Ghetto Twinz, or Gangsta Boo deserves much of the credit for opening the doors for southern female rap artists.
For a period of time female representation in hip-hop was dormant, but the arrival of Nicki Minaj changed just that. Following Nicki Minaj’s rise and dominance during the 2010s, the newly addition of Cardi B furthered the growth of hip hop music for female rappers. Now with Nicki Minaj and Cardi B leading today’s movement of women in hip hop, there are dozens of female rappers currently in the music industry. From Megan Thee Stallion to the City Girls to Saweetie to dozens of other artists. A once male dominated industry is a thing of the past and the large lineup below will showcase how far women have grown in rap and hip hop.
