When Ludacris first announced he was going to put out a Battle of the Sexes cd my initial reaction was Word! Ludacris’ game plan was to give female mcs the outlet that has been closed for the last few list. Well just by looking at the roster of female artist in the game my initial thought was going to be he’s going to pull in the archieves and we are going to hear some familiar femcee voices that we haven’t heard in a long time. Battle of the Sexes did not live up to the hype that was initially placed around it. Yeah it’s great to hear another Ludacris cd but I got my hopes up to hear some femcees going in hard over air tight production. We’ll let’s get into the Battle of the Sexes.
Did Shawna know about this? Luda enlists Eve, Lil Kim, Trina, and newcomer Nicki Minaj on his “Battle Of The Sexes” with the intent of giving female MC’s more of a spotlight. Luda reveals his concept for the album: “I got records talking about women, talking to women, and records where the women are talking back to me!” Don’t you just love concept albums? Would have been cool for Luda to snatch an old school name like MC Lyte.

Nicki Minaj is starting to pick up some steam on the radio with this one. Reminds me of that 50 Cent joint-I Get Money. Check it out!
Interesting review. Only 3 female rappers dropped in 2009. Let’s hope Nicki Minaj can work her magic in 2010. The female rap game is depending on her. 10 years ago there was so many female mcs you never would have thought the game would look like it does now.
