    Probably the most underrated rapper in the world. Bahamadia represented though with that album.

      No, she is NOT under rated. Yall really need to master english better. Under APPRECIATED is what you are looking for. Everybody that knows hiphop, says B's name in lists.

    The best thing about this show is that DJ Premier has such an impressive catalog that we can be here for years discussing his classics.

    I loved Bahamadia's music. It was smooth but still lyrical and she never had to sell herself to get recognition. A true gem in the 90s.

    I feel Bahamadia was held back, because she didn’t have the commercial type “look” that the masses were coming to expect from women rappers at the time. The Kim’s, Foxy’s, Amil’s, Eve’s…Shame, she was an incredible talent. THB is a classic record.

      yeah, this is something I don't enjoy. Real organic stuff is usually crowded out by mass market. This happens even in politics etc. Bahamadia was breaking out just when Bad Boy etc were coming in and realizing they could make big money from the masses. Not that I didn't like the Eve's etc, but as a hip hop connoisseur in Kenya, I had to dig independently to find the Bahamadias. The Roots, Fugees etc broke out a bit internationally, but generally most of their type were crowded out. There's an artist from Detroit that I loved, called Mae Day. She's nice but totally unknown.
