CHECK OUT THE LATEST ON QUEEN THE PROPHET. THE HYPE IS ON.

Queentheprophet’s Twitter feed continues to be very revealing. A few days back, DJ Yello tweeted confirmation he was "coming out of retirement for one track with QTP". DJ Yello long-time hip-hop veteran has multiple mixtapes available on Dat Piff via Street Diamond DJ’s.


It was also visible via Twitter that Queentheprophet will be a guest on the Nikki Rich Show 4/19/13 (nikkirichshow.com) @msnikkirich and QTP’s latest release “Wizard of Oz” has been in rotation on Nikki’s show the past week or so.


One of the more noticeable happenings was her bio was changed and now includes an indication of affiliation with Hell Razah’s United Hoods of America, Ghetto Government movement. QTP offers no other information other than Battlegrownd Entertainment #OPERATIONREVOLUTION is in support of GGO. QTP & Razah very similar with matching Heaven & Hell themed graphics, although nothing has been confirmed there very well may be a track collaboration from the two.



QTP did confirm though that she will appear on a track this summer with George Yung @kinggeorge427 (Doberman Gang, DBG 427 whom QTP was the 36th member). Yung is also scheduled to release the “Death of George Yung” Mix Tape before June. George Yung is the co-founder of the Doberman Gang and can be found attached to multiple projects on Dat Piff & uTube. QTP (Yung’s former Manager) credits the creative process and production supervision of “Wizard of Oz” to Yung. QTP also has confirmed that she will appear in the HART Magazine “I Love New York” edition scheduled to be released 4/25/13.



Razah better known by his stage name Hell Razah, is best known as a member of Sunz of Man, an early affiliate of the Wu-Tang Clan.

Razah is rumored to have suffered a brain aneurysm in April 2010. He was quick to recover and continue recording. He came to adopt the moniker Heaven Razah. @heavenrazah

NICKI MINAJ: The Last Woman Standing.


Hip Hop has enjoyed the presence of beautiful and lyrically gifted female rappers since its golden era, the likes of Monie Love, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah,Yo-Yo, Da Brat, Boss, Nikki D, Rage, Eve, Lauryn Hill, Lil Kim, Foxy*Brown, Angie Martinez, Amil, Left Eye, Salt N Pepa, Rah Digga, Missy, Sole, Bahamadia, Vita, Charli Baltimore. These ladies have contributed their individual role in the game and have set the mark for other Femcees to follow, but in recent years Hip Hop has seen the decline of female rappers with alot of them stepping back into the shadows, most of them obviously retired  so they can start a family as its not easy to be in the game and keep the real family tradition of raising kids, its quite easier for men to cope with this but not for the ladies who turn mothers because the bond and obligation women have to their children is not the same as with men.

One would have expected that as the rap amazons are retiring, a new breed of female lyricist would be ready to replace them and work the paths their predecessors took, but this is not the case, the vacuum is so wide now that female rappers had to start coming back from retirement, who can blame them? But thanks to Nicki Minaj for stepping up to revive the glory of  femcees, her coming brought back the glorious days when female rappers break records and top chats, like Queen Latifah ( First female rapper to win a Grammy)  Da Brat ( first female rapper to go platinum ) and Missy (the only female rapper to have six albums certified platinum by the RIAA,). Nicki  has set a standard for the new generation of  female emcees at a time when the game was lacking a female titan, she came in and her style and versatility was impossible to ignore by the Hip Hop heavy weights who took her in and embraced her. Yes the SAVIOR of female rap had come, she confidently said so herself in an interview years ago when she just got signed by Weezy to Young Money and she proved to be right,  Currently unequaled by any other female in the game unlike the 90's when we had contenders  like Kim and Foxy battling for supremacy and getting almost if not equal attention from fans,

Nicki Minaj stands out in this era of femcees and she's forced to rival the veteran Lil Kim as there seems to be no new comer in her league strong enough to stand on the same platform or enjoy the same fame and attention Nicki is getting right now, she has achieved alot in such a short time and she seems to discover her versatility by the day. The multi talented rapper and singer seems to be the last woman standing in a world where men dominate and the few female rappers making effort to share the spot light are still in the shadows, its no surprise that she gets  no love from some other rappers especially females as she seems to be getting all the shine for a while now. I sincerely hope for some new female rappers to step out or step up and give Nicki a good run for her fame, there is always room for a new act to shine but it takes  talent and the right persona to get where Nicki is today. Until the next femcee is ready to claim the top spot in the industry, Nicki Minaj remains the LAST WOMAN STANDING in the Hip Hop world.
