Queen Latifah - Ladies First (feat. Monie Love) [Music Video]

[@lynnmarieanderson1744]

These two women were trail blazers. I have the utmost respect for both of them.

[@joyleach775]

this was when rap was at its best.now I don't know what these new rap females are talking about.

[@annabellegeorge9037]

Mostly bragging about how wet they get. Imagine Monie Love or Latifah just throwing a random line into this song about how wet their p****** are.

[@Goldieslaxx9]

hopefully red Queen latifah is pure talent rapping acting and singing...love her

[@shannonreynolds624]

Oh HELL yea. I have loved Queen Latifa for a few decades, and I'm not a huge fan of rap, more into classic rock, but this is GOLDEN. No one can throw attitude around like Queen Latifa. I really like to see someone who's comfortable in her skin. She is Rapper Royalty if you ask me.

[@emontrewaters3530]

They do but rarely

[@oldmangaming9259]

Latifa and Lyte both ROCKED! Hip hop was so mysogynist back then. As a (then) teen I am so glad that I heard "Ladies First" among all the sexist stuff that was also coming out. Also I wanna shout out to Roxanne Shante (IMO the most talented rapper of her generation) and also Salt N Pepa and Spinderella. "Tramp" was so on point in terms of gender roles. "Push it" was just damned sexy and "Let's Talk About Sex" is a song which today would probably be banned by the GOP.

Facts. And it’s something you said that. I just watched Monie loves unsung and they said her and queen would right a a couple bars in separate booths then come out and let each other’s hear it and then go back and do more bars. So they pretty much fed off each other bar for bar building each verse together to intertwine like that. Brilliance all day. Rappers today need to take note of this masterpiece

An era of real female dignity. Something that's missing from today's female rap performers. Thank you Queen Latifah. Today's major female rappers are major pied pipers of their body's nether region. They so busy flapping and flopping their backsides to the audience until their renderings the future of intelligent self realization for many young black females is all but lost. We need more home grown queens and women of natural royalty speaking a new truth for the survival of our self respect. There is a need to turn them bodies around so's to draw more attention to the Afri-American/female's power of the mind and intellect instead of stressing such full focus on what amounts to borderline porn.
