It's Just like Many Young Fans Never knew Mary J. Blige Was A Singer Before She Acted , But Us Older people Knew Them As Rappers & Singers before They Ever Where Actors & To Us we find It Strange seen them as Actors because That's not where they Started from LOL .
She's Hip Hop Royalty bro! She also has an entire jazz album called The Dana Owens Album, that's her name. The motorcycles are a shout out to her older brother Lance (Lancelot) he died in a motorcycle crash riding the bike she gave him for his birthday. She wears his keys around neck ever since, 1992 I think.
Ladies First is a must - I think Queen and Salt n Pepa were my (white, suburban, sheltered) intro to rap, because before that I didn't think anyone was talking to me.
Dude she is a pioneer of hip hop she was right there with salt&pepper, shontae,MC Lyte, Run DMC…she is rap royalty literally. And dont get her twisted, she about her show and music label right now, but she hasn’t fallen off…she is still street, and she can go off the dome…her and Roxanne Shontae are hip hop heads to the core and still have skillz
You should Google her and see how much she's accomplished. She's a GREAT actress too. My favorite movie with her is Set it off. She's called Queen for a reason. She's also the kind of example young girls should look up to. 💖💖💖
Brandy “I Wanna Be Down” Remix w/Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Yo-Yo. Ladies First, Just Another Day, Princess of the Posse, Latifah’s Had It Up 2 Here and Wrath of My Madness are some other Queen songs to check out. Her crew was The Native Tongues which included The Jungle Brothers, Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. Latifah has been in the game since the late 80s.
Bruh, Queen came into the game as a rapper, after being high school Bball star in Newark. I think her 1st rap hit was Ladies First. She had a small part in Soike Lee’s School Days movie, & her acting career started takin off. Then she started also singin. Queen is unique in the industry, as far as areas of success. Lauryn Hill probably the only with that level of rap & singin skills who can also act. But who starts out spittin like Lateefah & ends up staring in her own t.v. series, host her own show, gets hit in movies, nominated for Academy Award & wind up recording duet with vocal legend Tony Bennett? Nobody!! Queen got her own unique spot, that most likely NO rapper will ever get to.
Yeah, Queen La started out as a rapper. Honestly, I was shocked when I found out she could act. When she started doing the show Living Single, I was so happy with her as Khadijah. AND she's a great jazz singer!
She has Queen as her first name for all the right reasons. A Queen in every form of the word. Plus, she & her brother (RIP) used to ride bikes all the time.
Holy Shit Have u Stumbled Upon The Queen (NJ) 💜💜. She started as a rapper and is iconic. - Latifah's Had it Up to Here - Just Another Day -Ladies First -Come to My House Just to intro u Latifah's Talent 🤗🤗🤗
She rode with the red liners and she bought her brother a bike and he died in a crash hence the toast and keys at the beginning of the video. It was dedicated to her brother Winky
Queen Latifah is a hip hop pioneer. Her flows were revolutionary and she was one of the females that changed the face of hip hop. Glad your listening. Hip hop in our days (us oldies ;) is the seed and roots of what we hear on the radio today. Keep educating yourself young. It will fill your soul. Also…spot the cameo (the dude calling her out on the street) another legendary hip hop artist.
Good to see a young man discover the old school. Queen Latifah ran it for a minute with Flava Unit and Naughty by Nature. You should check out more of that music
She got her start rapping. That was a fun time, with all the female rappers coming out! She was one of many during that time.. Sings too, very multi-talented 🔥
Queen Latifah started out as a rapper/singer and transitioned to acting. If you want to hear some of her best singing listed to her sing "Georgia Rose" and "Lush Life".
Queen latifa'first song released was "Ladies first she not only raped she had her own production company she discovered and produced the dudes in this videos he walked past was "Naughty by nature's Also sings
Her first single was Ladies First. That's a damn good one. If you listen to ROUGH she has some featured 90's rappers on there and she gets kinda gritty. I was like, Yes ma'am. You better come at her hard or step aside. Brandy's I WANNA BE DOWN remix with Yo-Yo and MC Lyte. Definitely a big hit. Both original version and the remix. NO WORK, is another banger.
You’re amazing! I love watching your reactions, you have the best facial expressions. I can tell how you’re feeling about whatever you’re watching ❤️❤️❤️ I pray your channel continues to grow and you have great success.
Many black celebrities/actors started out as rappers. Queen Latifah, Eve, Ice Cube, Ice Tea, Snoop. Will Smith, Method Man, Busta Rhymes, DMX, Common, Ludacris, Yasin Bey,...It's amazing to think what rap has done for many people who probably would not be famous today if not for rap. This is probably more amazing to those of us who were around back in the 70's and 80's before rap became what it is today.
Queen Latifah was a rapper before she was anything else: Actor, Entrepreneur, etc. She's a Hip Hop legend.
How does anyone not know this? #MemoryHole

He's young
Queen Latifah was a pioneer in hip hop wayyy before she started taking acting seriously. 🤣😊
She was a rapper first but she also can sing. She got a whole jazz album!
Oh yea! I forgot about that. I've been listening to jazz lately and I'm going to visit that album.
Absolute classic!!
And yet this song had a little bit of jazz to and that's what I love about it
FYI, The motorcycle keys in the beginning (she wears around her neck) belonged to her brother who died in an accident.
And she wore that all throughout her seasons on Living Single
Oh the Queen’s freestyle was legendary.
Queen and MC Lyte were 2 people you just didn’t want to battle with.
she didn't only rap. she made classic albums and led women rappers into an era of positivity, pride, and strength
She's Hip Hop Royalty bro!
She also has an entire jazz album called The Dana Owens Album, that's her name. The motorcycles are a shout out to her older brother Lance (Lancelot) he died in a motorcycle crash riding the bike she gave him for his birthday. She wears his keys around neck ever since, 1992 I think.

She was a rapper before she became an actress. You should check out her song "Just Another Day".
Rap has been around since the early 80s and Latifah was one the first female MCs.
Man. She said"who you callin a bitch". The queen had it down packed.
Dude she is a pioneer of hip hop she was right there with salt&pepper, shontae,MC Lyte, Run DMC…she is rap royalty literally.

I love that line: you say I'm nothing without you, but I am nothing with you. Those are mind freeing words.
Queen Latifah is a hip hop pioneer! Definitely in my top list of MC's and one of the reasons I fell in love with hip hop in the late 80s as a kid.
FYI: Queen won a Grammy for this song.
She was also a talk show host. Queens stand up 👑
Latifah and Missy Elliott are among the greats!
The Queen is the greatest female mc ever, no questions asked
Rapping royalty, hence...... "The Queen" Ya'll gotta get to know the originators and legends of rap.
This is why she is the queen!
She also brought about Naughty By Nature, Yo-Yo, and numerous others.
She was a rapper first she from where I live in NJ Queen was big in her days of rapping and she can sing too
she has a beautiful singing voice also!!!
She has ALWAYS been a Queen !!
Check out her song Just Another Day a vibe
Lol, Queen Latifah was one of the first mass popular/internationally recognized female rappers.
She rode with the red liners and she bought her brother a bike and he died in a crash hence the toast and keys at the beginning of the video. It was dedicated to her brother Winky
Come Into My House is her house music joint, you gotta hear it.
She was also part of
Native Tongues, (jungle Brothers, tribe called quest, De la soul...etc..) which was closely tied to ZULU nation..
