    Queen Latifah broke barriers in music. Without her. Hip hop would not have become a genre. She is the foremost reason they celebrating 50 years

    Monie killed this. MC Lyte is freaking ageless and Lord what can I say about D-Nice. There’s no words that can express what it was like growing up with and being able to enjoy this music. I was in the 7th grade when this song came out. I remember it like it was yesterday. I’m so happy for her. I cried when I found out the Queen was receiving this honor. Congratulations Queen Latifah.

    MC Lyte was another favorites of mine growing up. These newbies wouldn't be able to deliver. Queen Latifah stood for respect of women, not exploitation. Love this

    That was WOW. Always has been, always will be. And this is why the kids can't touch the OGs game. These ladies cannot be out done. Queen Latifah was the first female rapper I ever heard. I'm 41. I was a kid in the 90s. This new "music" now cannot compare.
