Rapsody:
I think it’s exciting and beautiful time for hip hop, to have women at the forefront. We’re everywhere.

What’s up y’all this is Rapsody and you’re watching Billboard News.

Rapsody:
I’m so happy to be here with you. Legend.
I wanted to get your take on the resurgence of women in hip hop and you’ve seen a lot of change, ups and downs in that arena. Is this more than just a moment? I think some people might still try to look at it as a fad. It’ll go away, but is…
Rapsody:
No. You know, this is a beautiful beginning. You know, just we never seen it like this, or no. I think there was a time. 90s of course you know we have MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Lauryn, Lil’ Kim, Foxy, Missy Elliott, Charli Baltimore, I can go on and on. But I think with social media, you just, you see it in such a heavy force. It’s everywhere. So I mean, I’m excited about it.
Gail Mitchell:
Who were your key influences on the hip hop side coming up?
Rapsody:
My key? Lauryn Hill, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Nas, Biggie. Erykah Badu, she’s hip hop. To me MC Lyte, Queen Latifah. I listened, DMX heavy. What? Heavy, heavy East Coast right?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Iron Man might have bitten the dust in Avengers: Endgame, but the Hip-Hop culture’s iteration of Tony Starks is alive and well and after more than three decades in the game, Ghostface Killah shows got more than enough life left in his body to continue to churn out darts and laser beams on the track as he’s just dropped his latest album, Set The Tone.
Linking up with another Hip-Hop legend in Nas for the visuals to “Scar Tissue,” Ghost and Nas gives the OG’s something to break their neck to as the two turn a workout gym into a lyricist lounge where they spit the kind of gritty bars that had heads hitting the block with a G-Pack back in the day.
Keeping the vibes in the Big Apple, Dave East pays homage to a popular 90’s sitcom and in his clip to “Living Single,” the Harlem rapper kicks it with two thick young women while checking off the names of the characters from Living Single in his bars.

For a while there it seemed like Benny The Butcher was in every other music video as he was doing features all over the board and collecting all the bags, but lately the Buffalo representative has seemingly been MIA as of late and letting his Black Soprano Family do them.
Coming back off the bench The Butcher returns as he heads down to Miami to link up with Cam Wells for the visuals to “Tony Two Tone” where the two take in the South Beach vibes and politic on the street before hitting the club and performing for a crowd eager to see the men do their thing.
Keeping the scene in Miami, Young Breed and Rick Ross cross paths and in their clip for “Hold Up Wait,” the two kick it with a few thick young women before landing at the airport where they style in front of Rick Ross’ private jet that crash landed in Texas just a few days ago. We wonder if that happened right after shooting this video. Just sayin.’
