MC Lyte Vs Antoinette

Back in 1988 Brooklyn’s MC Lyte took a swing at then newcomer Antoinette because her single “I Got An Attitude” allegedly “bit the beat” to Audio Two’s “Top Billin.” Later on Lil Kim would “sample” the lyrics to “10% Diss” for her verse on Mobb Deep’s “Quiet Storm.”

10% Diss

Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, hot damn
Hot damn! Hot damn hoe, here we go again
Suckers steal a beat, when you know they can’t win
You stole the beat, are you havin fun?
Now me and the Aud’s gonna show you how it’s done

Antoinette answered with “Lights Out, Party Over”

I dis and don’t miss, cause i ain’t a friend of that
Scallywag, that tom, dick & harry-hag
Don’t get upset, homegirl, just get mad
You’re a lightweight, so it’s easy to demo teeth
A ’10% dis’? here’s a 100% beef

But Lyte silenced this beef once and for all with “Shut The Eff Up! (Hoe)”
“In ’10% [Dis]‘ I popped your head in a microwave/ I’m into blenders now, so you better behave.”

WINNER: MC LYTE

Lil Kim vs Foxy Brown

Before the battle of the Barbies Kimberly Jones was going head up with Brooklyn’s other high profile MC, Foxy Brown.

What made this battle particularly bad is that they were supposed to do an album together at one point and even shared the cover of The Source magazine in February 1997.

Like most beefs, details are fuzzy on how things fell apart between the two of them but several records went back and forth ending up in Lil Kim going to jail. (yikes!)

Supposedly Lil Cease took a shot at Fox on a song called  “Play Around” saying that her style was similar to Kim’s. Kim then followed up on the The Notorious K.I.M spitting “You ain’t a star, and her record company know that.” Foxy responded on Capon-N-Noreaga’s “Bang Bang” calling Kim’s album “lame.”

This led to the exchange at Hot 97 where Lil Kim and her entourage bumped into Capone and his crew. An argument ensued and 20 shots were fired from five different weapons. Lil Kim spent a year in jail for perjury after testifying that she didn’t recognize two of the men involved.

At the time Foxy Brown said she wanted to “call a truce” with Lil Kim but in 2010 she dropped a track called “Off The Muscle” talking about Lil Kim’s appearance on the ABC series Dancing with the Stars last May.

She raps, “Catch me at Marcy at the mall/ But muthafuckas will never see me dancing with the stars/ Never, will I embarrass my borough/ I’m too thorough/ Dark skin bitches, we here now/ I swear now/ Ya’ll bitches wanna be me so bad/ Ya’ll studied my whole swag.”

WINNER: While Lil Kim is currently more popular due to her extra curricular activity, they are both neck and neck in terms of music output of late.

Roxanne Shante vs. EVERYBODY, “Big Mama”

In a move that is the closest precursor to the Lil Kim/Nicki Minaj beef, in 1991  rap vet Roxanne Shante inexplicably went after all of the female rappers of the day (Queen Latifah, Mc Lyte, Yo Yo, Salt-N-Pepa, etc) in one scathing diss called “Big Mama”

“Cause Shanté ain’t about no games/Matter of fact, yo, I’ma start callin off names
First up there’s Latifah/You roll up, and I’ma smoke that ass like reefer…I’ma rip you and your girl Monie/ You’re illegitimate, tryin to get a little bit And I’m about sick of that ‘Monie-in-the-middle’-shit.”

Our memory is a little fuzzy but we only think Latifah bothered to respond in the first verse of “ I Can’t Understand.”

Queen Latifah “I Can’t Understand”

WINNER: Queen Latifah. Last we checked Shante was apologizing for lying about having a doctorate and Latifah was making movies.

Khia vs Trina

To call this battle ugly is an understatement. The time line of this beef is more disjointed than than Kat Stacks weave. Whether it’s on stage or on record these two simply don’t like each other. Most recently Trina spazzed out on a DJ for playing one of Khia’s records at one of her shows and Khia said that Trina had “ninja turtle” in response to nude pics of her that leaked on the ‘net. Who is winning?

Well last we heard Khia’s publicist had put a gag order on her from speaking ill of others so for now we’d say Trina has a leg up.

Jackie-O vs Foxy Brown

Thankfully we can say this is the only beef that resulted in violence of any kind. Ironically, the diss records came AFTER the fight, not before.

Foxy says words were exchanged and that she did tell her she should “show respect” but that she wasn’t touched.

In response Jacki-O recorded the track “TKO” describing the incident bar by bar.

We’ll see if Foxy has time from reigniting her Lil Kim beef to answer this.

WINNER: We’ll give this round to Jacki-O just because it was so damned entertaining and “TKO” wasn’t that bad a record.

Where will the Lil Kim/ Nicki Minaj battle end up? We may never know. So far the younger Barbie has not responded and may be smart enough to wait until her debut actually drops to put out any answer records. Will she end up being the young LL Cool J going up against the Kool Moe Dee or the young Canibus who wanders off into obscurity after a whoopin from the vet?

We do quite a bit of ambulance chasing around the web for your entertainment pleasure here at TheUrbanDaily.com. Lawd knows that keeping up with the antics of Lil Wayne, Beanie Sigel and Keyshia Cole’s momma is a full time gig. But every so often we like to sit down and actually TALK to musicians, actors and the like about what interests them. Sometimes they give us heartfelt advice on fatherhood (Ginuwine) and other times they just spazz out (Sha Money XL).   So here are some of my favorite interviews from 2009.

Sha Money XL Blacks Out On Interscope

“They don’t make Gucci in 5X fat boy!”

Toccara: “I Love My Vagina”

“I’m still a G-G-G-G. 36G. The G stands for Goddess…”

Georgia Ann-Muldro Grows Her Own Roses

“I wanted some enlightened music that people could C-walk to.”

Chico DeBarge Speaks On Prescription Drug Use

“They say you never stop recovering…”

N’Dambi Inspired By UGK On New CD

Dres From Black Sheep:”I’d Love To Reunite With Mr. Long”

B.G. “All Of My Neighbors Are White”

Rakim Speaks on Rhmying With His Daughter

“It’s my favorite song on the album…”

Ginuwine On Fatherhood

“Don’t get into texting with your kids..”

Jacki-O Wants Her Love Locked Down

“You know how lab rats have sex? Well, hey…”

Spotted@Nahright

Miami femcee Jacki-O pens an letter to her incarcerated HBIC sistren, Remy Ma.  It’s no “One Love” but at least she did something for her girl. (Dunno if she should be taking shots about albums that flopped though.)

“Fat Joe did a album, but his shit just flopped”

The jury is still out if Jacki-O is the hottest rapper in Uranus [click here to read], but she gets a fail for this song, “Hood Girl.”

Now, if only her and Plies can come together and get Goonette stop major distribution [click here to read], summer won’t look that bad!

One of my best memories as a journalist was coordinating a photo shoot with Jacki-O, Jean Grea and Remy Martin for The Source magazine. Shawnna was supposed to be a part of the shoot but fell ill at the last minute. Nevertheless, it was nice to see women from different parts of the hip-hop map come together to make a statement of unity. We were in a lounge somewhere on the upper east side and it was kind of surreal to see the raunchy raptress Jacki-O helping this battle MC like Jean get her weave  pressed just right and the three of them just being cool. No beef, no drama. A group even manifested a few months later.

The presence of women in the rap game is something I continued to discuss and tried to promote in some way after I left The Source. Even as an editor at Scratch I pushed forth the question of “Where Are The Female MCs?” (Sept/Oct. 2006) with an accompanying story by one of my favorite journalists Thomas Golianopolous.

A few years later I can’t honestly say that a whole lot has improved for hip-hop in general and for female MCs in particular. Remy is locked up, Lil Kim is out but she’s beefin’ with Biggie’s mom and the last thing we heard about Foxy Brown was her getting mixed up in Rick Ross/50 Beef.

So when I spoke with Jacki-O about her new album [click to listen] I took a few minutes to get her thoughts on the The First Lady (a woman many consider to be the Black Jackie O) and what women in hip-hop can do to change things.

Jacki-O’s new album, Little Red Riding Hood, is out today! So many of you responded to her new single, “Baby Mama” that The Urban Daily rang her up to ask the Miami femcee what is really up with her love life, “f*cking like lab rats” and why she wants to be a baby mama. Click to listen!

The Game is the latest to weigh his opinion on the whole 50 Cent vs. Rick Ross hoopla. While on the radio with Eddie Francis, the West Coast king also gives his thoughts on the Madden beatdown he gave to Bow Wow and an upcoming album that’s currently in the works.

Check out the audio below:

New York City’s own Ed Lover hilariously hypothesizes on ten things 50 Cent will further expose about Rick Ross. If you haven’t heard, Fiddy is trying to damage the career of Officer Ricky. While Ross hasn’t really made too many statements regarding the matter, Curtis is adding fuel to the fire by involving former Miami co-horts, Trick Daddy and Jacki-O into this beef.

50 Cent has no plans of backing down in his battle with Def Jam rapper Rick Ross. In an interview this morning with syndicated radio personality Big Boy, Fif hinted at releasing more damaging videos aimed at the Boss starring several of the Florida rapper’s Miami associates.

Just like he did with Tia, the mother of Ross’ son William, the G-Unit head says he has plans for meeting Trick Daddy and Jacki-O to help in his quest to ending the Boss’ career. “With Jacki-O I spoke to her yesterday, she’s supposed to be flying out to come talk to me,” he told Big Boy. “Trick Daddy, it’s a lot of people out in Miami, they clear that that’s a fraud.”

The Queens-bred MC says he’s done his “homework” on Ross and can’t wait to unleash his next move. “[Ross] was supposed to speak to Greg Street yesterday,” 50 claimed. “They stopped that phone call from happening. I’m like why, I need you to keep going so you can create an explanation for me delivering the next thing.“

In related news, while Ross has stayed quiet since the shocking video of his ex gong shopping with Fifty hit the net. While 50 claims that Def Jam put a gag order on Ross, the rapper released a video for “Mafia Music” today- the song that initially launched the beef. The clip shows Ross standing in front of a pool wearing a suit and gloves while carrying a large machine gun.
