Dana Elaine Owens, known to many of us fans as Queen Latifah, is one of the best female emcees to ever touch the mic. Way before the hit television sitcoms, Hollywood films, talk shows, and modeling, the Queen spit cold and empowering rhymes. During the late 80’s and early 90’s there were not many females in hip-hop. Queen Latifah used this rarity and her platform to the best of her ability. Just when hip-hop was drifting into a route of gangsta music and sexism, Latifah brought us feminism at the highest power. Whether you are a queen in your own right, a self proclaimed girl-boss, feminist, the cool girl next door, or just a guy who loves women, Queen Latifiah had music that you could appreciate.
