What Happened To "Bo$$" The First Female "Gangster" Rapper? Stunted Growth Music
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- Today’s feature is the interesting story of a rapper doing what she thought it took to survive in a world dominated by the male testosterone and a gangster image that was can’t miss at the time. To be exposed as a studio gangster or lying about who you were to create an image to sell records meant fatality in the rap game, and essentially that’s what happened to Bo$$. She was the first female rapper ever signed to Def jam, but soon dropped from the label after being exposed and it led to never releasing an album ever again for that and these reasons. R.I.P Bo$$

Would Bo$$ have blown up anyway without the pretend gangster image?
@@Subzero3639liveyea Smooth had a song on the Menace II Society soundtrack plus she had that collab with Immature in 94-95
You don’t know nothing about no Bo$$ 😂
The first female rapper sign to Def Jam was Nikki D from Jersey
Yes...
This is nothing special lots of artists rocked under different personalities, alter ego and images
She didn't have any stunted growth if anyone was actually alive back then would understand her style of Gangsta rap wasn't mainstream she took it as far as she could have taken it it's sad that's she's not even mentioned as one of the nicest female Emcees from the '90s R.I.P. Bo$$
🕊🕊🕊🕊🙏🏿😔🕊🕊🕊
100% agreed. Was a teenager in that era. Boss flow was crazy. No man was outshining her on a track. No matter where she was from, her bars captured the life. "Run, Catch and Kill" and "Don't Ring the Alarm" w/Spice 1 are still in my playlist. RIP BO$$
I was in middle school when she came out her song took the summer of 93
Yuhp
I Don't care her flow was crazy
Rip Boss. 30 years later and i still play her album.
Me too and I have 2 copies
💯💯💯
@@startingnew2024 I have 2:tape & CD. Would luv 2 find it on vinyl
No you don't... stop the cap 😂
Man on god me too .Dont care about the fake gangster. Most are anyway. I still loved her as the image of BOSS.
DAMN! R.I.P. No matter what her image was or wasn't, that woman had an incredible flow
BLESSED
Fact check: Nikki D was the first female artist signed to Def Jam.
True!.... where they got it fucked at is she was the 1st female to get signed to DEF JAM WEST..
Bo$$ was on RAL/Def Jam West
Nikki WHO??(dig what I mean?)
@@bkrodmccray9565
No.
@@bkrodmccray9565Nikki D from Newark NJ mofo
If anyone has listened Born Gangstas, know the reporter didn't expose shit. Her past was on the album. Her mother leaving a message on the voicemail exposed her on her own album. She put that on the album herself.
Facts and well said!
exactly this guys with this types of channels just do videos for clicks nowadays... do not do the proper homerwok and I bet they did not even listen to her songs. I loved Boss and I dont give a solitary fuck if she was a graduate and a midle class Girl growing Up! She had the respect from the comunity (Onyx, MC Eith, Spice 1 all fucked with her) she was indicted when they tryed to ban Gangsta Rap so This Channel just focus the whole video on that 1 interview... If they wanted they would be signed. YES they "BOSS" was a Group Dee was the other rapper and DJ but I bet you let that pass too because You dont even care... T.I.P. Lichelle "Boss" Marie Laws you were one of the Best Rappers from the Golden Era of Hip Hop!!
Thank you , she never fronted, told everything in the bars.
Some people didn't know or forgot. But I remember hearing it on her album. She got her 15 minutes of fame
Facts...💯
What the PHUCK!! Ppl who actually buy albums only care about GOOD Music & she put out a Great album ... period!!
WORD IS BORN YEP BLESSED
People forget that all of this information is on her album. She has phone calls from her parents saying she was never in the streets and grew up in a good life.
Yeah I don't get this "exposed" narrative when she put that out on her first album.
She was a college student..she even said it was easy to rap she was no gangster but she was dope i still have her original CD.
@@leelandglover7777then she did a store in so couple of female gang members tested her gangsta (RIP) in Los Angeles
@@TheStreetFoolosopherMr187 getting pressed would happen sooner or later to her.
Exactly on the Boss album skit intro.
People on here acting like all rappers were 100% real life except Bo$$ 😂😂😂😂 RIP Boss

Was that they same pretty female with the raspy voice who dropped a video in 2023 ?
RIP BO$$…. That In Living Color live performance was 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Yup
She had an appearance on that show?
Indeed homie
💯
I must have missed that episode.
That was my girl!!!! Rest in Peace (BOSS) I rather listen to her music then these female artists today!!!!
U are not lying
You ain't alone
Word
Sexy But a STUDIO Gangsta Artist.
R.I.P. tho
@@fatherg.o.d.285295% of them are studio gangstas.
I’m bumping BO$$ right NOW ON FULL BLAST
Me too 4:32am neighborhood might be pissed.
In '93, I was 15 going to therapy. A teenage Black boy from the hood was going to see a White female therapist from the 'burbs. One session, I brought the "Born Gangstaz" tape so I could play her "Deeper," which I felt articulated a lot of how I felt at the time, despite the obvious differences between myself and Bo$$. The therapist was blown away... Now that I'm a middle-aged adult, I feel that song even MORE. And it's genius how it is modeled around a therapy session. Bo$$ was way ahead of her time. R.I.P. Black Goddess... ✊🏽👑🖤
Ashamed some blacks think not being hood is not good
To not grow up in the gangsta lifestyle and pull that album off, was insane.
Rip Boss!🕊️🕊️ I don’t give a Fck and Recipe of a hoe has always been in my daily rotation. May your music live on forever.♾️🎶❤
Exactly I don't care how she was in real life, she is the dopest female rapper of all time, that doesn't change my opinion she was dope
I've been saying that since 1993@@ChiraqMaybackMMG
I LOVE her rap voice. Her strong delivery was mesmerizing.
"I dont really wannnaaa feeeeellll" RIP BO$$
that first line was ridiculous
Right? She made it more popular than Red Hot Chili Peppers, where she got that line from. 😂
@@brandont3549Anthony Kiedis wrote that song when he was literally living under a bridge in LA.
I don’t think he was homeless… I believe he wrote it as a low point when he was heavily addicted and buying drugs with a friend named “Mario” under a specific underpass in a Los Angeles neighborhood (at least that’s what he eluded to in his Scar Tissue book)
Great video bro! However, Nikki D was signed to Def Jam in 89. She has a song called "Lettin Off Steam" where Flava acknowledged her as the female on Def Jam.
Rest in peace. 93-94 huge fan thanks
She wasn’t exposed she said on her own album she was a college graduate!! But did this gangsta shit ❤️✊🏿🤣🎶
Absolutely right

"I'm trying to get to Watts but I'm stuck in Baldwin Hills (damn)..." She had lyrics, and she was kind of tongue-in-cheek about her past. RIP BO$$
Exactly! She said this herself.
The truth is:. There was only 1 banger on that album along with 1 or 2 other decent tracks.. that was it....
If you listen to the album and the skits, you would see she exposed herself. Regardless, she was dope and Born Gangstaz was a classic CONCEPT album.
You put this mug up quick fast and in a hurry. RIP BO$$. Took it back 2 my middle school years. The female Papa Doc of hip hop. 4 those that know, they know
Papa doc. You know thats fiction right? You do know most rappers not necessarily the same as their artist image . This not nothing Hella unique
More like the female Ice Cube.. She actually had flow.
*@DLabri3* Bo$$ was fictional too though. R.I.P. Bo$$
She'd be on top today. Look at all the other fake females in Rap.
Man, I was a big fan of Boss. Rest easy LaShelle💔
you gotta understand, man.. back when Boss came out, that’s all the labels were pushing around that time .. from about 92 - 94 they were signing and putting out any and everything that sounded rough, rugged, and raw… Boss just so happened to catch her break then.. Rest Up to her.. “Run, Catch, & Kill” was my favorite song/video by her..
Then 1993 Menace to society came out and every hood went crazy
Everybody wanted a West Coast hitmaker (NWA, Ice T, & King Tee definitely kicked in the doors for the West Coast as an Industry)
Exactly. Now music is trash
I liked I don't give a .... ( you know the rest)
Progress Of Elimination - is the dopest ‘ish eva!!!
Not to nitpick, but the first female rapper signed to Dej Jam was Nikki D (signed in 1989). Not Boss. Other than that, good video and RIP Boss.
You better look it up again I just looked it up it was the boss o you need to look that up again
@@rasio1859 No need to look it up when you lived through it. Boss was the first female rapper signed to Def Jam West ( in the 90s). Nikki D was signed to the original Def Jam in 1989.
Im 47 yes old Def jam West was started by Snoop Dogg I googled it for and five times I can tell you everybody on their roster the boss was the only female signed to Def jam
Look up 1992 female artists sign to Def jam
Mandela effect
RIP BO$$ I still listen to tht album. 🔥
Lies
Wooow that was quick video you made JC
Behind the black shades a beautiful woman! RIP
what soft about growing up in Detroit in the 80's
Thats a good point.
Damn right! Those "middle class" ppl in Detroit in da 80's were da target! It was no joke!
Thank you . Someone said it. Detroit wasn’t no joke in 80’s, 90’s and hell today either
This is Deep!! I'm going deeper!!! Sampled from Beverly Hills Cop!!!
Barry White 🕶️
@@djvegas1477 that's the deeper and deeper part. The talking part is Beverly Hills 👮♂️
I was about 11-12 years old when she dropped that album. Born Gangstaz was something we had in my household and I was definitely listening to it when I probably shouldn’t have at that time, haha. I’ve still got the CD and played through every song when I got a real moment to myself upon hearing the news. But, I’ve always said it’s one of those pieces in Hip Hop history that’s a heavily underrated classic. Despite what may have stunted her career, what you can’t deny or fake is talent. And, talent is something she very much so had. The bars were there, the delivery and flow was there. She went in from start to finish on that album. It was unlike anything we heard at the time, which is what I think made it so great. You know what I mean? She was going harder than most dudes on those records, LOL! The album was basically a movie with the entertainment it provided. But, she’s still one of those names that deserves greater recognition off of her ability alone. Still 1000 times better than pretty much every popular female rapper today; a lot of male rappers even. So, you’ve gotta put some respect on the name, Bo$$, for what she was able to bring to the table as an MC. And, always remember to spell it with those dollar signs. This was a surprising loss to hear about. Because her music definitely brings back memories for me. She had the potential for so much more and could’ve been a real dominant force in the game. Imagining if she had a 3-5 album record deal to hold her solid. That would’ve catapulted her career and legacy into a whole different stratosphere. You did your thing, though, Lichelle. Rest In Power, Queen👑🙏🏾
To me and I've always said this, female G.O.A.T
@@startingnew2024 I respect it. She had all of the ability to hang with the best of them. She was no joke. With a greater body of work, I’m a full believer in that
I asked to do a story on her almost 2 years ago and you just now do it after she died.
Real MCs know she was a spitter!! 💯🙌
RIP Boss. The first Detroit rapper fr. I remember seeing her in concert when I was a kid
Yes yes! I’m from Detroit! You’re correct
Before Esham?
@@J0SHUAKANE damn you righy
@J0SHUAKANE no disrespect to Esham. But, I'm speaking more on a mainstream level. He was grinding tho. You are right.
Boss from Detroit. She was rough.
OMG thank u finally cuz I’m 1 of the people that’s been beggin u 2 do an episode on Boss 4 a while. RIP 🐐 the blueprint the 1st real real coldhearted female rapper
"Progress through elimination !!!" Her bars were ahead of her time!
got-to-go yeeah GOTTA GO
The backhanded compliments in this joint are wild slim.
Lol ..
She didn't try 2 hide it, she said it in her songs. " I'm trying 2 get 2 Watts but I'm stuc in Baldwin Hills, trying 2 find myself. We use 2 luv her regardless
That's corny but rip
Bought her album back in the 90’s still got it. She was special.. RIP..
4:29 - Oakland University is right outside of METRO Detroit Michigan.
True!
Damn…Deeper, one of the illest songs ever. RIP Boss
My favorite. I think this album without changing anything about it would hit way harder today.
Never heard of her but thanks for putting me on
Boss was on AMG first time I heard of her. R.I.P. Boss crazy I was just listening to deeper yesterday
Ironically she was only doing what the boys were doing as well, faking a hard character.
She was smart about covering her face all the time because when it fell apart
who would really recognize her once she went back to the real world..
until the end of this video, I never seen her face or could tell what she looked like....
that means you never saw the album cover @@kevinmorrison6093
@@kevinmorrison6093Right!
She did get signed after Def Jam, Krayzie Bone signed her for Thugline Records back around 2001. She was merely featured on Thug On Da Line album, but she was still signed.
Thank you for that.✊🏾
Me and my group did a concert with her,yo-yo and Dayton Family
R. I. P. Boss🫐💙💙💙🙏🏽🕊️🕯️
Growing up in Detroit you gain a certain “street” edge by default. Some of the biggest hustlers out of Detroit went to private school & or college. You have to be a Detroiter to understand. She went to college at Oakland (County) University in Rochester Hills, Michigan. R.I.P. BIG Homie. Miss you already 💯💯💯
This fool clearly has no idea
One of my favorite music channels💯🤘🏽🔥
Oakland University is in Michigan
Only Michigander's caught that... I'mma Detroiter and caught it
I’m from the city as well. Good catch
Run catch, kill, the recipe, and deeper.I suggest everyone look em up ... BANGERS!
I remember first finding her cassette in my moms 2000 Chevy prizm when I got my license in 2015 “Livin Loc’d” with Sticky Fingaz is still to this DAY a certified BANGER
*BORN GANGSTAZ*
RIP 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
REST IN PEACE BO$$. i brought her album twice. 2pac did reference her in his interview. the first ive seen her was in onyx slam.
Had been asking for a video on Bo$$ for a year now, so I got super excited when I saw this! R.I. P Bo$$!
Man, I forgot all about her, she was popping back in the day.
When?
@@amaddenmind4597 back in the 90s in Detroit
@@123theprodigy5 shame on y'all then🤣jk
He definitely told the truth when he said rap SOFTEN DOWN and now anybody can do it. Boss was a hard chick. I was 17 when she DROPPED. Spitting like a champion. RIP my sister ❤🙏🏿💯
You should do Nonchalant next.
Tru dat
I swear I can't believe you brought her up. I remember. Rest in peace
One thing I can say is that 2Pac was a genius at making music with everyone he made mention about BOSS in a interview years ago RIP 2da both of them
2pac was studio gangsta too
@@jojosaylor8996I mean technically but pac never really rapped like a "gangsta" he more so jus rapped like a dude that came up in the struggle
Dam R.I.P BOSS. I didn't know that she passed. I remember her from the Menace to Society Sound Track
She sold records and still got dropped
Rip boss Detroit legend
I caught a shoplifting charge stealing her single Deeper from Sam Goody 😂
Lol
Why do I keep seeing people say she was the first lady signed to Def Jam? Nikki D was the first lady signed to Def Jam. With that said, Bo$$ was dope. I played the hell out of that Born Gangstaz album.
Rip Boss... my favorite song was ring thw alarm with Spice 1 but she had bops tho
Was thinking about that song at this exact moment I saw this comment 👍
I remember listening to her first and only album! It was hard AF imo. She reminds me of Onyx because she spits nothing but hardcore lyrics. After watching this update I now remember the actual reason why she hasn't made anything musically from time to time, she had kidney issues. With the health issue I'm surprised she even made it this far in her life. What a turbulent life she lived. May she rip🙏!
Anybody seen Irene, the one who used to rap with her. We all used to chill when Boss was making that album
Boss and Dee
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*
_Tappin' in from South Central LA_
Salute and RIP to Bo$$. Wasn't aware that she'd released an entire album so I'll have to look into that. I still bump "Deeper" in my lowrider to this day tho.
Fk a lowrider .. I was bumping “deeper” today in my ghetto Chevy Astro van on the west side on Detroit. What up doe! .. RIP Boss
I remember hearing her first single when it first came out. She was spittin’ so hard I thought she was a dude. There’s no denying her talent. Definitely ahead of her time, R.I.P. Queen BO$$
People are slow or here what they want to here. She didn't fake any. On her first album, the skit of her mother says she came up in a good house hold and went to good schools
The skit at the end had her pops on it as well.
THANK you!!! I'm so tired of mfs acting like she hid who she was
💯
Those who know, know. Everything was in the album.
@@indigolddJust wanted to say you're gorgeous ❤
Wasn't Nikki D the first female signed to Def Jam? Either way, Ascend well to Bo$$! I bumped her tape back in the day.
MC Serch was working at Def Jam at the time and he said Bo$$ was the first that got signed. It took awhile for her to come out, but she was the first to get signed according to him.
Yes Nikki d was the first female rapper on def jam back in 1990 or 1991way before boss she came out 1993 but first female gangsta rapper in the mid 90s
EXACTLY !!!
She was dope but shewasn’t the first female gangster rapper….You forgetting about Mia X she came out in 92-93….Sonya C (Master P ex wife) Married To The Mob came out in 1993 Marvaless (C-Bo) was rapping in 1992 Lady Of Rage was on the Chronic album in 1992 even Roxanne Shante had some gangster stuff in some of her music….Infinity was on UGK album Too Hard To Swallow that came out in 1992 it’s a few that came out before and around the same time as BO$$
@@THESUPERDOOLEYyou absolutely right on that because at the time in 93 I heard about boss on TV and radio she had more pull than the rest at the time
I remember seeing her on the chronic tour with dre and the dog pound. Run dmc, onyx, and they brought out bow wow lol
Rest in peace, Bo$$.
R.I.P 👑 Boss ❤️💖💜🌷🌹💐 Original Ladie Gangster , the “D” own….. Gone but won’t ever be forgotten… “Don’t Ring The Alarm” and “Deeper” was my 2 favorites…..
salute boss
That's Pat & I Interviewing Boss in 1993 at the Palladium in Manhattan. Video Explosion. Rest well Boss!
I just subscribed to ya channel lol
Thank you!@@OfficialTissue24
Thank you Bo$$, baby that shit was fire!!!!
That's my Era, and we in the City of Detroit had love for her, and we ALWAYS did. We knew she wasn't a "Gangsta", but she (like many Rappers) had the right people around her, to keep her good, when she was out and about. A Detroit Legend, and deservedly so. Her Flow was tight and she represented the City right. Rest easy BOSS, we know that you deserve more credit than you actually get.
R.i.P. Bo$$, her only album went hard back in the day. Unfortunately, she got exposed for a fake past that hurt her Chances to be one of the great female artists like a Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Queen Lafaith, Movie Love, and MC Lyfe!
I think her 15 minutes ran out and she didn't find a way to extend it
Boss was a dope artist. She got exposed and her authenticity was in question. That was big back then. I had the cassette tape and have her album in my phone right now.
Please kindly direct me to how / where I can get her music.
i have 2 Born Gangstaz cd's
@@startingnew2024 nice... I never heard of her till she passed... A few songs I came across on RUclips where 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@novakayne2709 Amazon. I mean, unless you was of age in 1991,you wouldn't probably heard of her.
Na .. I wasn't. After listening to a few of her songs, I'm saddened by her passing.. I wish I knew of her before now
Nikki D was the first female def jam rapper
Thank u for sharing her story rest in peace beautiful Boss👑🙏🏽♥️🕊
She was my favorite female rapper, and she passed away on my birthday. prayers to her family.
She was NOT the first female MC signed to Def Jam!!!!!!!! Why do ppl keep saying that??? It was Nikki D in 1989..SHE was the first female MC signed to Def Jam... RIP Boss
I’m sorry Stunted, love your content but I have to make a correction. Nikki D was the first female signed to Def Jam in 1990. Dope video tho!
Never heard of her, thanks for The video
Great channel...how about K9 Posse?
She wasn't exposed, she even had an intro to her album that had her mother chastizing her on her voicemail, the industry is funny, that's some fuck shit that she didnt blow up
Process of elimination classic joint
Great Episode!!! I always wondered what had happened to her!!! Her cassette was the 1st female rapper I ever purchased!! RIP Boss🙏🏼😎👍🏽
I saw BO$$ in concert back in September of '93 at The Rochester War Memorial. She opened the show, followed by Run DMC, and then Onyx, and finally Snoop, Dre & The Whole Death Row Posse. It was the first rap concert I had ever gone to, which made it all the more special. She will be missed. 😢
Nikki D was Def Jam records 1st female mc on the label.
R.I.P BOSS 😢 Legend!! 💯
Damn super sad! Going to listen Boss right now
Also, I remember Def Jam signing and having veteran artists try to do a gangster image to sell more records: Bo$$, ONYX, and LL’s 14 Shots to the Dome album.
Well that flopped majority 😂😂😂
She could definitely rap
Bo$$ was a dope artist, I remember having a promotional cassette of her in the 90s

*Wow... I didn't hear a peep about her being sick let alone her demise. RIP*
