I've got a bit of cash to spend on records this weekend and realize I'm
hopelessly out of touch with what's happening on the hip hop scene. I've
kept up with Tribe Called Quest/De La/
Roots/Pharcyde but Mos Def and some of these new fellows I know nothing
about. I like the female MCs from way back - MC Lyte, roxanne shante,
Queen Latifah but not sure about Foxy Brown and Lil Kim with their dirty
mouthing off. Got the Eryka Badu of course but any other females doing
any conscious stuff? Who is this Missy Eliot person?

Some guidance please ladies and gentlemen would be most appreciated...
