Rapper-turned-human hot take machine Lord Jamar has shared another controversial opinion, this time about women in Hip Hop. During an interview with Battle Code’s Bosschick Raine, the Brand Nubian member — who co-hosts the Yanadameen GODCAST with Rah Digga — detailed why he doesn’t enjoy female rappers and explained how they don’t meet his definition of “real Hip Hop.”
“I don’t fuck with female rappers,” he said before elaborating. “The same reason I don’t fuck with white rappers or wack rappers: I can’t resonate with what a woman is talking about. Now, listen — can I appreciate a sista that can rhyme good? Yes. Rah Digga can rhyme. She’s dope. Bahamadia, dope. But do I wanna listen to a female rhyming about female shit? It doesn’t resonate with me.”
Raine challenged Jamar’s claim by citing the work of Lauryn Hill.
“I love Lauryn Hill, but some people will say that’s not Hip Hop,” he noted. “You got some people that’ll say [The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill] was damn near an R&B album … I loved Lauryn Hill. She was one of the only female albums that I actually really did listen to on some ‘this is the soundtrack for a minute.'”
He also had a justification for enjoying MC Lyte while dismissing women rapping in general.
“Lyte was different because we were younger,” he stated. “It was a different time. And Lyte was almost like a tomboy at that time. And so you kinda knew girls like Lyte, but Lyte’s music was more harder too.”
In response, Raine pointed out how Jamar was equating Hip Hop to his musical taste.
“I like real Hip Hop,” he fired back. “Like I said, I’m an alpha male. So, certain themes are not gonna resonate with me. Female themes, themes of sucker shit, white people themes. There’s a lot of shit that I wouldn’t resonate with. But I resonate with positive, militant, gangsta, sometimes misogynistic music. I’m just keeping it real. I’m just telling you what I like.”
Jamar then claimed masculinity was a defining feature of Hip Hop.
“I feel like Hip Hop is the masculine side of black music and R&B is the feminine side,” he said. “Think about the themes. In R&B, we sing about love and tenderness and shit like that. Traditionally, we do. In Hip Hop, it’s more manly things.”
Raine countered by saying it’s only “manly” because there are disproportionately more men in the spotlight. Jamar responded by going on a tangent about women’s perspectives dominating R&B before returning to his thoughts on Hip Hop.
“Originally, it’s men talking to other men,” he said. “That’s what Hip Hop is all about. It’s about disenfranchised alpha males talking to other alpha males … I’m not excluding [women]. But they weren’t dominating the shit. They were abnormal.”
He later tried to downplay Hip Hop pioneer Sha-Rock, characterizing her as standing out because she was a woman.
“Sha-Rock, it was the Funky 4 + 1 because she was like — I don’t want to call it an anomaly,” he opined. “She was like something to pull people in. Like, ‘Yo we got a girl rhyming with us.’ ‘Oh, word?'”
Raine voiced her frustration with Jamar’s description of Sha-Rock, which dismissed her as “eye candy or something.”
“Well, partly,” he conceded. “That was part of it though. Because you immediately thinking, ‘This is some man shit’ … All of that was niggas. Sha-Rock was like the first one that you heard … ‘Oh shit, a girl’s on the mic.’ That was the response. And we wasn’t mad at it or ‘get her outta here.’ But she wasn’t rhyming about girl shit either.”
Jamar then reiterated his musical tastes, which he feels represent “real Hip Hop.”
“I don’t want my girls telling me about man shit,” he declared. “I don’t want children telling me about man shit. That’s why I can’t listen to these little niggas. I’m not gon’ let no young nigga tell me how to move in this world nor am I gonna let a female tell me about man shit. It’s not gonna happen.”
Jamar capped things off by claiming only women have an issue with his opinion.
“Females, y’all are the only ones who got a problem with this,” he remarked. “When I say this to dudes, they don’t have a problem with it.”

LMAO who’s mad?
Stop giving this asshole airtime.
Why? He’s Right
Why, o love what he talks about
Maaaaaad lol
Jamar also “believes” in that flat earth foolishness contradicting Elijah Muhammad, 5%’s, astrophysicists, mathematicians in the process so this is no surprise. Often time dudes so fixated on alpha masculinity are struggling with themselves.
Elijah Muhammad was a controlled puppet anyway and 5%’s are promoting satanic, occultic symbolism without realising it. The stars (which are pentagrams), moon and sun symbolism is all pagan and demonic since the dawn of time and is often found in witchcraft or old magick books. In the Bible, stars represent angels, so by promoting this symbolism you are basically gloryfing fallen angels which is what all pagan religions do. On top of that you are calling yourself a “god” (which is what serpent told Eve in the garden – you shall be as gods), reinforcing the same old lie.
This whole deception was created to enslave black people mentally, since mental slavery lasts longer than physical bondage. So they went from one type of slavery to another, believing that Islam is somehow a pro black religion. How convenient that once black people were set free, you suddenly see the rise of these fake prophets that were put in place to lead the whole race into the new age, making them believe they are “gods”.
As far as females in hip-hop, Da Brat is my favorite. Her first album is da bomb.
Occult doesn’t mean that its bad or evil.
It does mean stupid though. LOL. Dummy.
STFU!! And God is a pussy!
Shut the fuck up and God is a pussy!
“I also forgot to mention that my sack can be used as a dust cover for my brand nubian crust hole”
Real hip hop is women too. Look at all the ones who pioneered which is now hip hop. Just because u dont like it doesn’t mean it ain’t real hip hop I’m an 80s baby. Today’s fuck shit ain’t hip hop to me but it has evolved just like everything eles…. this guy needs to get with the times or resonate in the past.
You need to improve your reading comprehension… He said what topics resonate with him. Read the comments… Most men don’t wanna listen to raps about women issues…. Pretty easy point to understand
Ok you said that already!! No one fucking cares about you or Jamar… you’ve been all on this thread making fun of gays and accusing others of being gay because they don’t agree with you. Maybe it’s you that’s gay and don’t want to admit it..which is the reason why you’re riding jamars dick so hard. Go have several fucking seats fuck boy!!!!
I’ve always had issues with Female rappers and people rappin in another language myself. It just it hard to find a good female rapper without finding out she had help writing her rhymes. Majority of all the female greats used Ghostwriters at some point.
I’ve also always had issues with women in general. See I’m physically attracted to men. So hearing a women rap makes me uncomfortable. It intimidates me and makes me want to scream and scratch and shit my pants.
So you’re basically saying you always had an issue with things that are different from what you’re used to. That’s why back in the day they enslaved people, because they looked at blacks as animals, out of the norm… That’s why racist cops will shoot you, cuz you’re a minority, you’re out of the norm… It’s 2019 and you still have an issue with women (and people in general) expressing themselves… You should really reevaluate your purpose in life.
Bruh shut the fuck up. Lmfao lost me after the first sentence
Give that child his blanket back please
No one claiming to be an alpha male is an alpha male. He’s the Omega in his group. Also, Lyte, Hill, Rapsody, Da Brat, Grey, Latifah, Missy, Eve, Digga, Rage, ect…are all far far better than Jamar. He’s the wackest member of Brand Nubian.
I think you are gay…. And making an ass if yourself…. Jamar and his group are legends and dude has a spotless record as far as his commitment to keeping it honest… But gays like you love rapping along in the mirror to some lil Kim while you sing to your hair brush… Sing the chorus punk…. I don’t want dick tonight, eat my pussy right….. You want men to sing that hook? Really….
Man, you need to stay off that crack
Your response to someone asking why a man would want to listen to female lyrics is “Stay off that crack”. That response might be that sensitive shit LJ was talking about, and what’s wrong with you weirdos. Dude has an opinion. This random and LJ. From what I’ve seen on these posts, the most sensitive ones are the people that have opinions about opinions. Those people…they just want to argue. If you don’t agree with the old fuck, then don’t give him the platform by giving him attention. I just don’t see what the problem is. If Trump can be prez, Jamar can not like females rapping. I don’t either. Half of you “supporters” follow them because 85% of female rappers are naked..I’ll let them and your simple ass call that empowerment. I’ll call it the gimmick that it is. And once men are desensitized to naked bitches we will all be gay or these women “rappers” won’t sell. Pick one.
P.S Sims is pretty ok. She’s a MC. Yes, NewGen kids; there’s a difference. (Master of Ceremonies)
Jealous, cranky, used to almost be somebody’s favorite, lame ass corny fu@k boy. He is going to get exiled. I know he seeks fame, but it’s gonna backfire. Just let this lame keep running his mouth. You watch, even Vlad won’t have him on eventually. Except to disagree.
You are a stupid man to not understand his basic point.. every man on here has agreed with him because it’s true…unless your punk ass likes rapping about how wet your pussy gets, you need to go back to school and improve your reading comprehension…
Oh shit @Integrity873 all of that was for Timothy Barry. I hope you see this in time. My bad.
1) men don’t ONLY talk about sex, thats just one of the several subject matters men cover 2) a heterosexual male’s perspective on sex is what he relates to the most, and the female perspective just doesn’t do it for him, he already made that clear. its just his opinion at the end of the day. 3) did you just say “toxic masculinity” unironically?? FOH with that bullshit!
I agree with Lord Jamar. I think female rappers like nicki and Cardi B are only pushing that hoe shit/female side of things. No grown ass man can relate to that. Yeah the rhymes are catchy and the beat is sometimes fire. But substance wise? Theres nothing there.
Grown men don’t say “grown ass”
I get what he saying, it’s his own definition, just because their not discussing man subject matter, doesn’t need to be labeled non hip-hop.
He was specifically talking about these Nikki ,cardi, Megan chicks he wasn’t referring to female EMCEES like rapsody. That’s why these trap publications are trying to start shit but Jamar nor Jermaine Dupree are worried
Exactly right… I said this years ago… Lil Kim has a song called I don’t want dick tonight… What dude is gonna sing along to that? Or talking about their hair stylist and how wet they get…. Why do men have to enjoy that?
Men don’t have to enjoy it, but who said Hip-hop is strictly for men?? If you don’t identify with it, keep it moving, it’s that fucking simple!
“I don’t fuck with female rappers” well now its confirmed dude is homo alrite
Where’s the lie? There is none.
I totally agree with Lord Jamar. I am a female and I always thought that rapping is a male thing. I don’t even listen to these female rappers today. I would suggest that they find a female hobby and leave rapping to the men. Just leave it alone!
Bitch shut yo dumb ass the fuck up!!! You shouldn’t be communicating on a hip hop forum if you feel that way. You and Jamar can go eat a dick!!
Peanut with a beard isn’t exactly wrong here.
alpha male hahahahahahaha
The author wrote this hack piece cause he’s white and Jamar said he doesn’t listen to white rappers similar to me… So the people most offended by Jamar on here are white or gay… Bet money in it…
Bang on
Wow, I’m surprised they let your comment go through cos I typed the same exact thing you said.
That’s cute. Yal should be together. Taking all gay and shit.
If your not Jamar himself then you just a dick rider. Dude hasn’t done shit in over a decade and when he did he was still the weakest of the bunch. And the way women make y’all so uncomfortable it’s obvious y’all are the gay ones. A couple of dumb gay racists… you deserv each other.
These stripper Rappers aren’t. But to say all Females, that’s just LUDACRIS
Another subpar article by a lord Jamar hater. He never said female rappers aren’t hip hop he said there musical topics don’t resonate with him. And it’s true! What masculine alpha male wants to listen to Nicki Minaj talkin about finessing people out of their money and getting her ass ate? Leave Lord Jamar alone!
I totally agree with Lord Jamar, i dont listen to black or j*w*sh rap..cant relate to it…dont even listen to non-muslim rappers…and most def i dont listen to female rap…
If you dont listen to hip hop then really your comment is irrelevant. You say you don’t loo listen to hip hop yet you agree with a hip hop artist. Better yet a has been.
So gives a shit about this guy?
You should ask yourself why the most successful female rappers are the one dressing like strippers and only rapping about fucking and shopping.. you know who I’m talking about right..
There are plenty of dope female rappers like Bahamadia, georgia Anne Muldrow etc… and believe me, I’m a fan of that “Alpha male” shit you love to speak about. This is ridiculous.
I’m starting to wonder about you Jamar…lots of homophobic ranting, anti-women talk, and claims to be an alpha male. That combo usually amounts to one conclusion. But that’s ok there’s room in Hip Hop for women and homosexuals too.
Rapsody’s last album is harder and more “masculine” than any of this dude’s shit. He’s clown of the year, dude is sadder than the Joker.
This dude is a lost cause. He really is defining hip-hop as what his tastes are, and that’s bullshit
Holy smokes is this dude completely lost. His way of thinking on just about all this in so antiquated it’s not even funny. The world needs less people like this old fool. And why no mention of Jean Grae, who could rap circles around him for days.
Then I guess Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Yoyo, Snow Tha Product, Rah Digga and etc ain’t real hip hop huh? This clown never knows what he is takin about
I won’t even dare call you LORD cause u ain’t one so Jamar please be quiet and go back to a retirement home bro you talking way yoooo much out of your ass and it’s unbearable to listen to oldan like yourself talk about what’s hot and what’s not. Bro u are trash
Jamar trippin
Lord Jamar’s opinion doesn’t mean squat as it is. I’d love to see him in a battle with The Lady of Rage, she would dismantle him.
Fuckin A! I was reading this shit and I was like Lady of Rage just jumps out in my mind. I understand about certain female artists though as far as a mans perspective. Like lil Kim or whoever talking about blowing dudes I can’t resonate with that type of song.
stop giving this clown attention. period
Ok, now what’s the reason you don’t listen to white rappers? Because last I checked, they were human beings and some even went through poverty like other black rappers. Some even more so than other black rappers. What’s the reason for that one? Because you can’t resonate with what they’re talking about like female mc’s? Gtfoh man. This dude been talking shit on things he obviously doesn’t understand and is fueled by racism and sexism. This is old head on another level. This is drunk grandpa head. Stop giving this man a platform…
I really did try very hard to read this article, but I couldn’t see past the large letters spelling out “I’M INSECURE HELP ME”
I’ll always appreciate what Jamar did with Brand Nubian back in the day, but fuck he is annoying as shit these days. Just because you don’t relate to something, doesn’t make it not real hip hop.
You’re the third best emcee in your group of three emcees who haven’t recorded an album in over a decade. Fall back already old man.
U GTFO…shut your mouth when grown folks is talkin ya hear?
He ain’t grown bitch.. just old and tired.. and he was the wackest out of the group. Eat my young nuts.
So basically anything that Jamaar can’t relate to isn’t real hip hop? This guy is the rap Donald Trump.
Lost of mfers on this thread didn’t watch the interview….this is CLICK BAIT at it’s finest.
Lord jamar is becoming a fuck boy
Time to add Lord Jamar to the blacklist along with Kanye and Jay Z. I did and you should as well!
He’s gay. He like masculinity and men. Says men make him feel good. Jamar likes that sausage rap.
Lord Jamar is a sad clown.
So basically anything that he doesn’t like or “resonate” with isn’t real hip hop. This guy needs to stop.
Punks jump up to get beat down. That was a big song in the 90s. Now he keeping that money new by pissing everyone off idk if u all realize but he the new snitch9ine. Talking gets you poppin!
He was actually on the HBO series OZ, but you’re probably to young to know about that.
Is Vlad this ninja’s landlord ? I always see this clown on dude sofa
Completely agree with him. Plus, most of them can’t rap either.
Jamar is trash and always has been if it wasn’t for Vlad he would be home watching old Sanford and Son reruns
Jamar is over and irrelevant even when Brand Nubian was together he was always the weakest in the click
I like Jamar for the most part, but his views on women and white people in hip hop are ignorant. I’ve never purchased an Eminem album but he will rap circles around Jamar.
Anyone on here born after 1985, needs to take the word “irrelevant” out of their vocabulary in regards to this rap shit
Agree with Jamar to a certain extent but disagree about not liking white rappers. There are still quite a lot of skilled listenable white rappers.groups like Ra rugged man, Vinnie paz, Slaine, Non phixion back in the day. Also Miilkbone his first album was prob the best album ever by a white rapper beats wise.
Lmao, this dude just comes out his face with more and more stupid shit every month.. I’ll admit personally I don’t listen to a lot of female ip-Hop not because I think they can’t be as good as men.. Fucking Rah Digga’s album I bumped quite a bit, actually, as much as I bumped Wu-Tang shit, she was in 2 dude crews and held her own, and she can rhyme good. It’s just that Hip-Hop is more dominated by dudes and I’m a dude, but I don’t have problems with chicks who decide to rap. But Lord Jerome over here is a goddamn fool, his ass is stuck in 1987 trying to find his brief 15 minutes of glory yet again. He’s not an elder statesmen, either. You know who is? Chuck D. Kool G Rap. Grand Master Kaz. Not this fuckin benchwarmer. No one should be taking what he says seriously because he obviously just thinks his opinion is fact. I don’t really care for Aesop Rock that much but he’s a great writer and I respect him as a lyricist quite highly, but Jamar would just classify him as corny whiteboy rap.
If that’s his opinion, it might not be something I totally agree with because Queen Latifah was in my rotation back in 91 as a kid entirely too young to be listening to hip hop back then. I brought DoggyStyle to my second grade party in school and boy were they hot at me! ??? We also banged Life after Death too, man Brooklyn was wild growing up. Lord Jamar wants to keep certain thing masculine in a day and age where we have too many rappers rocking dresses, wearing lipstick and kissing men. Is he really that wrong?
