- The dynamic blueprint, that is Queen Latifah, has mastered the art of becoming a successful female MC, owning a business, winning awards for her acting roles, and even hone in on an innovative talk show - and stopped by Sway in the Morning to talk about it.
Where was the point, in which Queen turned from rapper to business woman?
"That was from the beginning." She tells Sway. "There was no turning point. I knew I had to do, it was something I was doing in regular life."
Latifah started rapping at 17, and grew her empire from there.
What's next for this go-getter? "a lot of film projects, the talk show, & family," she tells us.
Watch above for more, plus take notes on the advice she gives to women about dealing with sexism and chauvinistic men.
"Connect with people who are going where we are going." -- Queen Latifah.

She raps, sings. writes. produces, directs, business owner/investor, down to earth, intelligent, management company, she can run in any circle, and cool and calm.....Tuly gifted ❤❣🙌🏽
Yes!
she has one the most beautiful faces
She's so beautiful
True, she is so pretty
Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett and Whoopi Goldberg are all my aunts in my head.
Man you just named 3 of like 50 of my aunts from the music industry !! Ctfu but Queen is definately my own mother, nothing like my real one...smh !! #AllHailTheQueen !!
facts!!!
U-N-I-T-Y
Women rappers have changed so much since the Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, etc days.
They're all fucking thots now
I love Queen Latifah she was an awesome MC, watched her faithfully every Sunday with my mom on Fox for Living Single and her movies are dope. Love you forever Queen. A true inspiration for me!
La's speaking voice is simply clear and smooth, like her rhymes have always been. I love Tracy G's articulation when questioning guests. Really, Sway and Heather B are cool and personable as well (and well informed) when anyone comes in to visit Shade 45.
If I may, I just wanna say that being from the streets, being hood, being "black", whatever, doesn't mean that you don't know how to act when you're out of that element. I don't ever think it's a matter of being someone else, or not being yourself, it's being like water. Knowing how to adapt and knowing what's acceptable.
It's not even a race thing. There's a time and place to be cordial, and there's a time and place to be a bit more uninhibited. She's a shining example of being like water. Long live the legend!
Now THAT'S HOW YOU BEGIN!!!!!!!
She's a smart woman. She knows that there's a time and place for everything. You can't go into corporate America actin' a fool. Anyway, U.N.I.T.Y. is my favorite song from her. When those horns come on in the beginning of the song, it just takes you right back to '93/'94.
Weird as it may sound, the first tape I ever bought was Queen Latifah. I think I really liked the single, but I wound up loving that album. "Queen L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command!" Now, I gotta go back and check for those joints again. Give it to 'em, Queen.
I love Latifah she is so humble and a smart business woman. She's inspires me she gives me the motivation to work hard to accomplish all.of my goals
She is so humble. I could listen to the Queen all day!!
Queen has always been a real genuine person. This is my era. Young women had class and standards. We didn’t put our business in the street.
I think Queen Latifah should of more recognition in the hip-hop game, she is higly underrated. The production company and her label had mismanaged her. I think she should of been on a more active label such as Def Jam or Interscope records.
positive black woman, grew up watching her from rapping to living single
Its like the older Queen latifah get ,The beautifulness just come even more in her ...For her age she really looks God Damn Good and this coming from a 21 year old kid straight outta the south Bronx NY LOL ! ...Much love Queen Latifah she deff one of the Dopest Female MC's of All timesssss !!!
I wish they asked her if she ever has to urge to drop any hip hop these days and/or does she hear a beat sometimes and starts writing or free styling just out of habit ?
