Through out the years, we have seen a surge in the dance music trend. Every other mainstream artist has released or featured on a dance track at one point or another, and you'd be hard pressed to find artists who haven't. On the flip slide, there has also been a surge in the hip-hop scene..of the bad ass bitch variety. The past few years have been met with mouthy females, oozing sheer sexuality and beauty, topped off with a 'don't mess with me' attitude. Below, I sound off on the current femme fatales running the female rap scene and in some cases, the music scene.
Nicki Minaj: I could imagine that the image above was met with a giant sigh, followed by a sarcastic comment and a smirk but hear me out. Minaj boasts guest appearances on tracks by Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Usher, Madonna, Britney Spears, Kanye West, Chris Brown and David Guetta. Quite an impressive feat, no? And instead of rubbing facts in your face, the colourful singer has actually done some great work. Who could forget what arguably is her best rap verse to date on Yeezys "Monster", or her own "Super Bass". Minaj's ingenious way of having crossover appeal to mainstream music and achieving worldwide success has undeniably allowed other female rappers to come to the forefront. Plus, her wigs are pretty fab too.
Iggy Azalea: The coke-bottled shape Australian sex bomb has undoubtedly shook up female rap this year. The 'Bounce' songstress first came to light with buzz viral sensations 'Pu$$y' and 'My World', before releasing her first official single 'Work'. Enjoying mediocre success in the UK with her unique brand of model looks and hip hop music, she certainly is one to watch. What is there to dislike about her?
