Hip Hop<\/strong> is an artistic culture that originated in the 1970s and has blossomed to become a worldwide phenomenon. However, Hip hop has had some significant changes over the past 4 decades. So DJ Patrick Scientific, Strictly Hip Hop and ya girl Mia Renee, that’s me, have come together to bring you a special person that has changed Hip Hop… To put is short. This person Changed The Game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question: Who is the first female MC? (It is not Salt-N-Pepa or Queen Latifah or Lil Kim)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest all female MCs and DJs should know the answer to this but in general all hip-hip fans should know the answer to this. If you ask who is the first black modern day baseball player in Major League Baseball that answer comes out easily. (It’s Jackie Robinson if you don’t know)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

To put it simply about 30+ years ago in the 1970s a young Sharon Green b.k.a. MC Sha Rock became the 1st Female Pioneer Luminary MC on the mic when she rocked at a Kool Herc party. Let’s make sure we understand what I’m saying. I’m sure there were other females out there that could rap but Sha Rock was the 1st<\/sup> to pick up a mic at a major party and make a stand for all female MCs to follow. Ced-Gee of the legendary Ultramagnetic MCs said \u201cShe had the realness, Sha Rock made females relevant…She set the tone so that female MCs would be taken seriously.\u201d With this in mind the has earned the right to be called the 1st<\/sup> female MC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sha-Rock herself considers Wanda Dee, Debbie D, Sherrie Sher and herself to be the first bloodline of Hip Hop. Again if you are a female MC or DJ you should know this… just because.<\/p>\n\n\n

Since Hip-Hop was and still is today a very male oriented art form Sha Rock started in a group called The Funky 4 + 1. However, The Funky 4 + 1 became the first rap group to to be on national television\/Saturday Night Live with Blondie\/aka Deborah Harry “1981” and has the longest recorded Hip-Hop song \u201cRapping And Rocking The House\u201d which is about 16 minutes… even longer than Rappers Delight’s long version.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a>For more information about Sha Rock you can buy her book entitled \u201cThe Story Of The Beginning and End Of The First Hip Hop Female MC…Luminary Icon Sha-Rock\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But simply put… before there were no female MCs that you could take seriously and then after Sha Rock, female MCs became relevant… To put it in more relevant terms Nicki Minaj, Roxanne Shante, Lil Kim, Ms. Stress, Rita J, Jewel from Strictly Hip Hop are now relevant because of Sha Rock<\/p>\n\n\n\n
