I really miss these features!

Remember the Boss (female rapper) she was gangsta. I wonder what ever happen to her. I forgot what label she was signed to but I do have fond memories of pumpin' that shit in my car back in the dayz.

Yea, it's funny to hear Foxy Brown claim to be the first female signed to Def Jam, when it was Nikki D on Def Jam, followed by BOSS and BWP.

Boss was so wack, i can't front, i loved her on AMG's album, but that record was such a front. Her whole story and image seemed made up. Nikki D's album was hot though.

Yo Bro. David Peace!!

Well I had the pleasure of working with BOSS and her sister when they were on Def Jam and coming from Detroit, her story was more of a "good girl" with "bad tendencies. She was always street, but she wasn't ghetto with her shit. She moved to LA, hooked up with Def Jef, sold weight in South Central (while trying to secure a record deal that she was promised and never came to fruition), finally got a deal and did her thing. Her album was basically alot of things she was going thru while living in LA. So she wasn't some pseudo studio gangsta, but she could take care of herself. She was definitely one of the best female MC's out at the time. She wrote all her own shit and she had flow. She, my girl Mz. Kilo, Yo-Yo, and Champ MC,was knockin' some niggas out the box, when it came to reppin' that hardcore style.
I think Def Jam kind of dropped the ball on her, because her album was hot, but I think the label was more concerned with EPMD and Redman's album that dropped during the same time.

I love Nikki D, but she was a little to fluff with her "hardcore" style.

I can't believe ya'll are waisitng bandwith talking about BOSS.
LOL

I won't front, Deeper was getting some bang on Video Music Box, so I was feeling it.

Years later, I copped it for 99 cent at the Good Will. Still ain't listened to the album.

Her lil gangsta Bitch style was Waaay unbelievable. I don't care if she sold shyt directly from Noriega. The girl needed to trade in the Carhart and boots for some more comfortable 'lady-like' wear. Especially if she was living in L.A.

I think she was frontin'. And who was her brother? Was that AMG?

Her era ushered in the decline of hiphop's validity; where rappers confused the public by basically putting on fake ass images and portraying them as reality.

Think about the countless emcees of that era: Da Youngstas wanted to be hard with baldies and Hoodies, freakin UMCs went 180 on the world and flopped. Tupac lost his damn mind and began Thug Willenium or whatever you wanna call it.

then Masta Ace recorded "Slaughtahouse", Common came with 'I used to Love H.E.R.' to address this phoniness and over stereotyped imagery and all hell broke loose.

Any filmmakers wanna do a good documentary on HiPhop's real history?

Understand Me Vanessa was my shit! Thats my mama name. We used to follow her around the crib singing the chorus
