The Tens: 10 More Dope Female Rappers NOT Named Nicki Minaj To Watch In 2011
A couple of months ago we offered a list of ten female emcees not named Nicki Minaj who are just as good (if not better) than the Young Money rapper. But as we begin 2011, TheWellVersed brings you ten more female rappers who you should be paying attention to. Some of them you may have heard of, others may be new on your radar. Either way, we’ve also provided songs to get you familiar with their talents. Don’t say that we didn’t tell you.

What about Tennille? She fucks with underground cats like Pac Div and The Cool Kids and she’s got the whole singing/rapping thing like Lauryn had. DOPE.

Love Dessa.
OMG, Dessa is soo good. Its good to hear female rappers. I am very hard to please lyrically. I love sarcasm, wittiness and cleverness in lyrics. Nicki Minaj to me embodies the lyrical creativity that I crave. Dessa is very good and she loves Nicki. I knew there was something about Dessa that I liked lol.
Amanda Diva, Eternia, Nitty Scott, MC, are also some great Female Emcees to check for. If anyone else thinks of some other ladies that deserve some shine, post them!

You still sleeping on Signif? Smh she’s killing it right now!
Rapsody!!!!!!
Woooooop Whoooooo!!! *dancehall laser sounds and gunshots*
2011 is the prequel to the shift to goddess rule in 2012!!! Go Rocky! Go Kalae! Goooooo ladies!!!!
ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!
Rocky! love this video for “Trick Habit” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ATc2bS9qZ8
Whilst surfing the internet one day I spied Rocky Rivera.
In my 30′s now, I grew up on some MC Lyte in “Self Destruction”, fast forward to the early nineties and Ladybug on Blowout Comb…then of course Lauryn Hill and Foxy Brown’s work on “It Was Written”…Call it too mainstream, but whenever there was a lull or “hip hop recession” the West Coast always seems to come in and perform CPR.
-Ice T, NWA, Pharcyde, Short Dog…. Whatever, I am long winded. This time it is totally Rocky Rivera.
Think about it, now everyone is sooo focused on punchlines, art imitating life…all these unwritten rules.
Rocky Rivera is pure, unadulterated, weed smoke blowing, multi-faceted good shit sorry.
This lady is one I wouldn’t want to battle on a real scale, because her foundation is verifiably supported by what looks to be an army of other completely bananas MC’s. I am from the Midwest….My pick is Rocky MF’n Rivera, and I gotta say, I-S-H ain’t never been a marshmallow. Thanks for reading.
Rocky Rivera…. the TRUTH!
Signif most def deserves a mention, substance + lyrical guaranteed you won’t be disappointed google her.
They”re all DOPE!!
What about Tennille, shes so ill. Def shoulda bumped one of these breezes off the list!!!
JOSIE GO HARD! The “qaulity” of the little music that she has released so far is undeniable.
Done.
Tequila Jade http://www.brudmuzik.com check out her song “24/7″
Anyone heard of Nitty Scott MC?
Good look on the list of some of the game’s elite!!! Bout to checkout those I’m not familiar with, but you gotta love a lil Boog Brown and Rita J. Be sure to look for them in the film “Pathways” this summer.

this site’s readers need to.
BOOG BROWN hails from DETROIT! She lives and thrives in the ATL, but don’t get it twisted. Those rhymes…that FLY..that’s all DE-TROIT baby!!
This is a neat summray. Thanks for sharing!
Hazel thanks for your note. (LOVE The Sartorialist!!). All black is often the default colour because it’s the easier to unify (imagine an ensemble full of slightly different shades of red), it’s easy on the eyes, and the audience tends to focus more on the music than if the ensemble were wearing different colours. The problem with saying go for it, wear any colour is what one person considers stylish another will consider completely inappropriate. There there’s the issue of colour clashing. And in classical music, there are known stereotypes about what kind of dress is associated with certain types of music. Opera performers (and audiences) tend to go all out with style and flamboyance; Baroque performers (and audiences) tend not to consider fashion a big deal and are very low-key with their apparel. Ultimately, no, I don’t think ensembles should be able to wear any colour; then it looks like a rehearsal.

@ Beatnik Checked it out, then I checked out here other videos… not impressed w. Kellee Maize. She is not at all interesting to me and that flow on the freestyle isn’t that impressive either.
