Recorded the mix yesterday but the damn CD was faulty so i'm goin up to do it again now! The mix is pretty much underground headbangers mixed with some of the pioneering late 80's tracks and one or two classics from the modern jiggy era!

No Jean Grae?
She's new enough I suppose, but she's good.

FTA69

Luryn Hill would be the best on that list. Plus I'd give her one, and so would the rest of ye.

Kristok

why no lil kim surly shes one of the better female rappers. Chuck b had a few good songs too.

StevieG

Jean Grae used to record under the name What What and she will be represented under that guise. Lil Kim is a good rapper but a lot of her best material has appeared as single verses with the likes of Junior Mafia et al. I also forgot many more on that list who i included like Paula Perry, Eve and a few more. The special is just over an hour long and will include a pretty comprehensive look at some of my own favourite female MCs.

You are misinformed my friend, the name was 'Why Why'.

No need to thank me.

It was What?What? she recorded extensively with the likes of Herbaliser-she is indeed on Herbalisers new LP as Jean Grae again-believe me, i've been folowing her career since Herbaliser dropped a few tracks with her many years ago-one being the classic cut "The Blend", which is gonna be on the show tomorrow in the form of its Peanut Butter Wolf remix. She also recorded with All Natural i think in tracks which were released on Manchester's Fat City label.
