    Now that's a trio for your ass. I would add the Blastmaster, Rakim, MF Doom, Mos Def, Sadat X, Posdnuos and Al'Tariq/Kool Fashion.

    I know you guys hate when I bring race into certain things but does anyone remember a black woman getting best hip hop artist of the year?
    And are we gonna argue that (unlike Eminem) that Iggy Azalea is one of the best female rappers ever shit is she in anyone's top ten?
    SMH

    It's pretty much a given that those awards shows aren't really for 'us'

    Which is why i posted what I did

    I'm sure 'black America' has felt that many black artists have been shunned by white (yeah I said it) award shows

    Yeah no kidding, she's mediocre at best, I like her style on certain tracks but she says absolutely nothing and its sad when it looks like hip hop is fighting to get back more substance as of late. That new J.Cole album is evidence of that, that shit is fire.

    Again..this is all by design

    I mean shit look at twerking

    Everyone acted like Miley Cyrus invented something new with her non-jiggly self

    If they had an award for best new trend or whatever, she'd get it :p

    I need to check his LP out (I know, I said "LP", lol). Azalea is cute enough, but I don't check my female MCs for their looks.

    true story
    It's very annoying when you see that though, like it only counts when some white does something or experiences something.

    I do but at least you can say Nicki Minaj is an MC shorty can rap, same thing with Kim and Foxy. They could handle that mic

    Majority rule, brother

    No sense in denying it now

    But yeah I'd definitely tell people to support black award shows, because for many it's the only recognition they'll get

    Like BET and Tyler Perry movies.
    Say what you want about both but if not for them certain people would never get an acting job

    Huffpost did an article on Chris rock, where he talks about Hollywood and how he loves helping black actors, because he feels that they aren't given the same chances to succeed

    I rag on Tyler perry but ur right

    At least he put his money where his mouth was, by opening up a studio and pumping out big screen films populated with black actors

    Then you definitely don't listen to rap because baby girl can flow. She just took the Drake route when they both realized no one is buying introspective lyrically driven rap. These dummies out here just care about a hot beat and a chorus.
