Not only is she one of dopest rappers I've ever heard, but probably one of the best females voices I've heard in any music. She is rapping low, even quiet, yet at the same time I find myself standing to attention. It's like she's both talking soft yet loud, but in the good sense. I can't believe I only discovered her recently, such a smooth character.

Joseph Archibong This doesn't represent the totality of 90's hip-hop though. This song was more a part of the short-lived "smooth era" which didn't last long enough in my opinion. This short little era sat in between the loud angry Onyx-style and the head-slasher Wu Tang style.

AllPro777 What do you define as the "Smooth Era" and who do you consider part of that era. I feel like her kind of rap is a part of a thread that lasted mostly through the 1990's (this came out in 95 I believe) but Tribe started this in 1990 and this style basically died in 1997/1998 when everyone was trying to take the crown left by Biggie and Tupac. But there was "smooth' hip hop all through the 1990's. The Onyx Style was kind of like a 91-93 kind of thing. Wu Tang to me was a mix of all hip hop styles. They started out rugged and just kept refining their sound. They stayed rugged but brought you so much in between that.

Julian Hills The B.U.M.S., Heavy D (97 version of Heavy D), Bahamadia, Digable Planets, etc. I'm looking moreso at 95-ish through 97-ish where a lot of it was hitting, but you could pick out joints from other years in the 90's that would fit. I just felt like there was a shorter period where more of it was hitting than other times, but maybe that's just my perception.
@jayholcey26787 жыл бұрын
I loved Bahamadia's flow. I didn't define her lyricism from a female perspective like a lot of people have done but I felt like she was a cut above the rest and could do her thing in more ways than one. Plus, she had one of the tightest and beautiful Afro's that I witnessed during that mid-90's era!

I made this song in Berlin, I was listening Bahamadia, Neneh Cherry, MC Guru, Premier.. and back in the days (no so far) a lot of people was sampling ATCQ, or maybe some salt n p. but Bahamadia for me was, and is the 1. The first song I heard was Rugged Off. So.. I was in Berlin with this minimal house or techno scene, thinking in some rap roots, and she was the first thing in my mind. the name its philypop for Philadelphia, she's from there... whit respect, just trying to bring people from electronic scene to know the queen. 🙏🏽I wish new generation listen bahamadia.

Yes she was, I still love it
Not only is she one of dopest rappers I've ever heard, but probably one of the best females voices I've heard in any music. She is rapping low, even quiet, yet at the same time I find myself standing to attention. It's like she's both talking soft yet loud, but in the good sense. I can't believe I only discovered her recently, such a smooth character.

Joseph Archibong This doesn't represent the totality of 90's hip-hop though. This song was more a part of the short-lived "smooth era" which didn't last long enough in my opinion. This short little era sat in between the loud angry Onyx-style and the head-slasher Wu Tang style.

AllPro777 What do you define as the "Smooth Era" and who do you consider part of that era. I feel like her kind of rap is a part of a thread that lasted mostly through the 1990's (this came out in 95 I believe) but Tribe started this in 1990 and this style basically died in 1997/1998 when everyone was trying to take the crown left by Biggie and Tupac. But there was "smooth' hip hop all through the 1990's. The Onyx Style was kind of like a 91-93 kind of thing. Wu Tang to me was a mix of all hip hop styles. They started out rugged and just kept refining their sound. They stayed rugged but brought you so much in between that.

Julian Hills The B.U.M.S., Heavy D (97 version of Heavy D), Bahamadia, Digable Planets, etc. I'm looking moreso at 95-ish through 97-ish where a lot of it was hitting, but you could pick out joints from other years in the 90's that would fit. I just felt like there was a shorter period where more of it was hitting than other times, but maybe that's just my perception.
I loved Bahamadia's flow. I didn't define her lyricism from a female perspective like a lot of people have done but I felt like she was a cut above the rest and could do her thing in more ways than one. Plus, she had one of the tightest and beautiful Afro's that I witnessed during that mid-90's era!

Whoever produced this beat, needs a hi-five and pat on their back because this beat is ridin! I just listen to this song forever.

I made this song in Berlin, I was listening Bahamadia, Neneh Cherry, MC Guru, Premier.. and back in the days (no so far) a lot of people was sampling ATCQ, or maybe some salt n p. but Bahamadia for me was, and is the 1. The first song I heard was Rugged Off. So.. I was in Berlin with this minimal house or techno scene, thinking in some rap roots, and she was the first thing in my mind. the name its philypop for Philadelphia, she's from there... whit respect, just trying to bring people from electronic scene to know the queen. 🙏🏽I wish new generation listen bahamadia.
This beat always reminded me of Dilla and The Ummah. I could imagine this beat on the Beats, Rhymes and Life album back in '96.
The good old days!!!
Nuff respect to Bahamadia and all that Philly shit...

Still loving this in 2022😎
Still rocking in 2021.
Bahamadia was old school hip-hop female rapper from the 1990's 🐐🌟 I seen that video on VH1 soul player on Soul School since 11 to 10 years ago on 2010-2011 That silver puffer jacket and that black shades with silver frame 😎 She rocked that like she wearing in the Nickelodeon TV sitcom like Kenan Thompson from Kenan & Kel or Cousin Skeeter the muppet
