Editorial Review: Album Description: 1989 debut album from the hip hop/film star features guest appearances from De La Soul & Monie Love. 15 tracks. Tommy Boy. Amazon.com: Latifah was the first major woman rapper to build a career on positivity, and this debut is proud, funny, and self-assured. Latifah knows she's the best so she doesn't have to tear down anyone else to prove it. Neatly produced (with simple, dance-friendly beats, mostly by loop-master DJ Mark the 45 King) and stylistically varied (including a couple of expert forays into dancehall reggae), it collects her early singles along with a bunch of convincing pronouncements of her royalty. Where she shines most, though, is on a couple of duets: "Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children," with De La Soul clowning around under her tutelage, and "Ladies First," with Monie Love deftly trading verses with her. --Douglas Wolk Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Pre-Grammy Greatness From The Queen of Royal BadnessIn a masculine dominated genre, not many ladies of hip hop were representing especially back in 1988-1989. Salt-N-Peppa, Sweet Tee, MC Lyte, and Roxanne Shante were a few very successful female artists. When Queen Latifah came onto the scene, she was unlike anything coming out at the time. Her mix of dancehall reggae, R and B, Jazz, House, and rappin' ability became unwordly to 1988 ears. Male or female, she may be the most versatile emcee to do it. "All Hail The Queen" is her shining moment which redefined emceeing as we know it. The opening song "Dance For Me" is a great example of her versatility blending jazz with upbeat swing over a melodic 45 King production. When the single dropped in 1989, it got many heads buzzing. ...

Rating: - The Queen Has Spoken!!!!I totally agree, this album is off the chain. Ja Rule and 50 cent wish they could be in a class of their own like the Queen...she totally rocks and while these other want-a-be and wish-they-could-be rappers will come and go...the Queen will live on forever because she has multiple talents and is the real deal. Most rappers today don't know what real music and lyrics are...if they did they wouldn't disrespect women, society and life in general but would bring positive messages to their raps like the Queen...all I can say is go ahead Queen and keep doing your thing:):) Rating: - Underrated hiphop, almost a classic..........Latifah had all the qualities of a great female MC (flow, beats and them juggs). My personal favorite joint from her. Top Tracks: The Pros King and Queen Creation Come to Me Ladies First Latifah's Law Inside Out Rating: - All HailQueen Latifah Knows...this album was spectacular...it is uplifting and has good beats and anybody who has the nerve to even say a fool like 50 cent or a no talent joke like ja rule is anything better than her has nerve because she is history..she is what 50 and Ja bite off of...she is what they can't live up to...so know your history before you praise the present...but queen, you gotta represent!! |
