and I didn't bring Lauryn Hill in the first place, I said that Iggy is the first female rapper to have a #1 single as lead.
but then you guys brought Lauryn and Lil Kim etc

But you're wrong that title would go to Lauryn, respectfully so as well as Lil Kim considering she wasnt a Ft. she was a lead as well. Anyways Fancy is a collab at the end of the day so lets not

Since when is Lauren hill a rapper

She was in a little hip hop group called The Fugees, and she rapped most of the time with them. Ever heard of them?

I said it before, but I'll say it again: Congrats Iggy and Charli! Iggy continues to spark interesting discussions.

Like a boss.

Come on Jason Derulo...you can do it

Crazy to think that Iggy's only the third Australian woman to have a US #1 after Olivia Newton John & Helen Reddy.

Kimbra & Lorde are from New Zealand, so it would be five Australasian women overall.

Kylie's "The Locomotion" was a US sales #1, but only made #3 on the Hot 100.

no matter how much you pressed gurls try, Lil Kim is still widely considered the first female rapper to reach #1 on Hot 100 as written in major media release and Lauryn Hill is still considered an R&B singer in the GP's eyes

But Queen Pen had a number 1 before Kim , in the 90's. How old are you ?

Is this the Hot 100 thread?

ugh, YES, Lauryn Hill can rap but she isn't widely known as a rapper, just like Kesha. They're both recognized as singers. Is that so hard to understand?

Wait what? Where? Where is she recognized more as a singer than a rapper? And this is the first time I've read Kesha and rapper in the same sentence.
This is fact. Stop arguing.

Can we count Left Eye?

So we could Nelly Furtado too then since Fergie is on the list She raps on "Promiscuous" and "Give It To Me"

[Superpower]

If Fergie is a rapper than Beyoncé is the female 2 Pac.

But if we're counting Lauryn as a rapper then Kesha would have the best selling rap song (Tik Tok) but that's not the way it works because both Lauryn and Kesha are mainly seen as singers, like Fergie and Nelly etc.
I'm saying that Lady Marmalade is more of a group work rather than a lead, I'm not saying that Lil Kim is not the first female rapper to have a number one single.
Iggy should be recognized and praised for what she did with Fancy, technically being the first female rapper to have a number one single as a lead.

We should count Rihanna too. She raps on Phresh out the Runway

[NewRihannaStan]

Some of you guys need to really some research . Like it's embarrassing . LH for goodness sake was in a neo-soul HIP-HOP ground .. Mess at y'all trying to discredit her

Just because she covered VIBE doesn't mean she's a rapper

PS: has Mary J Blige sent any rap songs to #1?
