Video vixen turned rapper?? ughh

It seems as tho a lot of these video vixens have, as of late, come out and confessed their "love" of rap and their dream since they were a little girl to be a rapper. How they looked up to Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill and other MC's for inspiration and saw being eye candy in a video a way of breaking into the industry. You know what I say to that "BullShit". Take "Angel Lola Luv Monroe" a very successful video model turned female "Rapper". Her first single entitled "Boss Bitch" is a representation of a lifestyle she probably never lived. And its a very wack song. Many say, as she has, that she is toning down her sexified image in hopes of being taken seriously, Id say its a little too late for that. After the breast/ass implants and your half naked body in 100's of videos/magazines you will never be taken seriously. Sorry, but its the truth. Not to say that female rappers cant dress sexy and make it (ahem, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown) but these women can also rap. Recently Lola Monroe (yes she has taken on the rap name of a dead white woman. smh) came at another female rapper Nicki Minaj over who was next to take the "female rap throne". I had to laugh. I for one like Nicki Minaj, a lot, I think she makes some good, if slightly vulgar, songs and she can write & sing. Yes, she also uses sex to sell and has been accused of copying Lil Kim(whatever) but I still dig her. Lola Monroe is not Nicki Minaj, she is a video vixen trying to rap not a rapper who is a vixen. Im sick of everyone discussing who will be the next female rap superstar and including the names of these video girls. Lola Monroe will not get past the video ho role, to do so she'd have to spit like Jean Grae which she definitely DOES not. I give Nicki Minaj a good chance of being the next female MC to get big, will she leave a huge impact im not sure, but through her affiliations and lyrics she will get bigger than she is. I feel as tho i've went in many directions with this post but they all lead to one point, a female rapper is not simply a video vixen who can rap. While a rapper may have the sex appeal of these "vixens" she is not someone who has gone the root of selling her body (basically) to get ahead in the business. I was just so put off by people calling Lola Monroe the next female rapper when she obviously sucks. Beautiful girl, horrible rapper. Check out the video if you dont believe me...


I love how "hood" she is. lmao wack


"Still I rise" Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Wayne. This is a good ass song. Not my fave of her, but shits hot.
