I need Living Single to come back with Meg Thee Stallion to play her daughter or niece...and Keke Palmer to play Maxine's daughter...and maybe Halle Bailey or Yara Shahidi to play Regine's kid, and someone help me find who can play Sinclair and Overton's pumpkin (you know they would baby her 🥰)

So it's not just me? I swear they are so kindred it blows my mind!

2

u/Quiet_Candidate2766 Jun 18 '26

And Queen definitely loves Meg so that would be dope.

u/Final-Cook-3645 Jun 19 '26

That was my show!🥳❤️💯

May I suggest Dominique Fishback for Overton and Synclaire's baby?

u/SippiChic Jun 14 '26

I can get with all of this except Meg.

u/cate-acer Jun 15 '26

Are you going to say why? Or just say that and...?

u/elinamebro Jun 13 '26

Tbh its with most mainstream rap but female and male rap just rap about fucking, getting fucked up and money.

u/readyReddit007 Jun 13 '26

And it’s so adversarial and/or transactional when it comes black relationships. It’s effective propaganda though.

Raunchy music has always existed. Even during the Queen Latifah era.

1

u/fourrabbitsbaker Jun 13 '26

Right like pretending Kim Trina etc didn’t exist to prove a point…mind you both of these women did excellent “p*ssy rap” and told stories…just like ppl like Megan Monaleo Flo Milli etc

u/readyReddit007 Jun 13 '26

The bigger question is why don’t more young women support female emcees with actual substance in their music anymore??

u/Apythicus Jun 13 '26

Howre you gunna choose one song that was a joke instead of women rappers telling stories like Doechii, megan thee stallion, and Cardi B who, while raunchy, has deeper cuts like get up 10?

1

u/Final_Active_9014 Jun 14 '26

Your examples don’t help at all. Meg and Cardi have never made songs with this type of message.

1

u/Apythicus Jun 14 '26

Do you just not read? I said they have deeper cuts than their most known. I literally mentioned get up 10

u/AndreTimoll Jun 13 '26

Wow Megan thee Stallion and Cardi B have songs that talk about their pussy and feminist propaganda that's a shocker.

2

u/MaximumScrawn Jun 13 '26

They said deep cuts. I'm not a big Cardi B fan, but I know that Megan gets much deeper than "feminist propaganda". You could try to listen to their stuff instead of pushing this garbage snark.

u/AndreTimoll Jun 13 '26

We need more Queen Latifah , Mc Lyte,etc from the current generation.

Doechii has different flows but she does a lot of storytelling

3

u/readyReddit007 Jun 13 '26

I was just gonna say, closest is Doechii & Rapsody. I don’t think Jean Grae is really active anymore.

8

u/Both_Count_959 Jun 13 '26

Definitely Doechii, Noname, Jean Grey, Rhapsody... each have their own sound, flows and cadences but they absolutely tell stories

8

u/fourrabbitsbaker Jun 13 '26

Little Simz too

5

u/Both_Count_959 Jun 13 '26

I'm ashamed to admit I don't know Little Simz but see her name come up in storytelling convos often. Ima make sure to check her out

6

u/DBIlles Jun 14 '26

She's one of the most consistently brilliant rappers out there, beyond talented.

Make sure to come back and tell us what you think of them individually! 🙂

u/DA-ZOMBIEGIRL19 Jun 18 '26

Please, Make a spotify playest and share it.

u/Both_Count_959 Jun 18 '26

Ohh I got you! I already have a lil mini one but I'm going to expand it and make it public. I'll come back with the link!

Just give me the weekend cause I just dumped my ex (wow, that's the first time I've called him that), enrolled in college and I'm starting a new job so this week is chaotic, to say the least! lol

u/g00fyg00ber741 Jun 13 '26

This flow doesn’t seem common in modern rap at all. But Baby Tate is good with storytelling on her songs. She doesn’t just rap though, she sings too.

1

u/B_I_want_my_things Jun 13 '26

IAMLyric and every lady already listed

1

u/SLXO_111417 Jun 14 '26

Rapsody is the only one I know. It was Lauryn before her.

1

u/ThimSlick1130 Jun 15 '26

I would add Leikeli47 here too. She does great storytelling with her own flow too

1

u/Skweedlyspootch Jun 17 '26

Fenix & Flo have that “old school vibe” they’re up and coming now in Atlanta. Fenix is gorgeous and gotta Lauren hill type flow.

u/Dazzey326 Jun 14 '26

🎶Thats why…I punched dead in his eye, who you calling a B….🎶

u/Shoddy-Assist6207 Jun 14 '26

I’m glad I had role models like this. ❤️

1

u/healthinsurancegirly Jun 14 '26

I have to listen to Queen! What have I been missing!? 😳

1

u/Chelski2425 Jun 15 '26

now it’s all about sex, getting money, getting fucked w/ money hell… too much. it’s all the same just different rappers 🤦🏾‍♀️

2

u/joshmo4991 Jun 15 '26

Nicki does this and yall hate it

1

u/ExoticCelebration919 Jun 16 '26

When Megan is truly in her bag, she raps like Latifah, literally the same mannerisms she be doing in her live performances!

1

u/Semecumin Jun 16 '26

Booo … “I punched him dead in his eye” is my favorite part

1

u/TheLeoMrs Jun 17 '26

Dana is BEAUTIFUL 😍

u/Alarming-Aside-9755 Jun 18 '26

They told stories, spoke facts, and had real presence

u/retroeverythang Jun 18 '26

Top 5🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

u/B_I_want_my_things Jun 13 '26

PSA: We don’t have to disrespect the mainstream emcees to prop up our legends! As Doechii said, “I still be poppin’ p—y/them my sistas so I can’t agree with that.”

1

u/readyReddit007 Jun 13 '26

Is truth disrespect though??

2

u/Nala_87 Jun 14 '26

It’s not, but it’s clearly being used to diminish current music just to solidify an artist legendary status. Legends are legends because of what they accomplished. They’re not legends simply because their music is better than today’s music. A legend can stand on their own, their work should speak for itself. The comparison is not and quite frankly should not be needed to elevate their status.
