Had 2 play this for my daughter.. She wasn't feeling her afro puffs.. I said girl it's a whole song about our hair... She walked out the door proud!!!!
Hell yeah!! This made my heart sing.
At least you got her listening to a classic, that's great. Kids these days, especially born after 2000 just don't get it. An now this mumble rap crap seems to be what there into.
I know thatâs right! We gotta be proud how God created us
Afro puffs are cute as hell, too!
lashay peters you the real mvp
Rage was underrated...she had lyrics for days
word up
Facts đŻ
Totally underrated. One of the best female MCs
@@PrecociousFriand indeed đ
No she wasnt.this was a big hit. Suge. Never. Released her album
"She sell dope, do hair, and babysit out the same house; police don't know when to kick the door in!!!" đ
Demond Burgess đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Haha
hahha i got that reference
Demond Burgess ong đđđ
She know when all the bootleg snacks come out...
I'm 47 and still rocking this in 2023! Lady of Rage deserves her flower right now!
She deserves more than 1 â's
Real Shit!

O.G for real!
Literally đȘđŸđȘđŸđŻđŻ
"flow like the monthly u can't cramp my style" classic line
Quincy Davis Man the lady of rages lyrics were so far ahead itâs crazy
Quincy Davis damn đ€đ€đ€
Hereâs a pamron chile!
as soon as i read it she said it what a synchronicity
Bomb breasts from Dr Dre
Crazy how no one considers lady of rage one of the best female artists
tbh before listening to this song I knew I had recognized her voice from a few songs off of the Chronic by Dr. Dre
Nicki Named Dropped Her Yearss Ago
Who doesnât ? Sheeeit!
Because she didnât allow herself to adapt to a sexual persona but sheâs definitely one of the hardest and truest
@@brooklyngurl09 no one goes harder than Lady, true OG
Her flows were actually crazy back in the day lol no lie
Facts!!!!!!
Till this day they are. You don't hear shit like this till these days
Her album Necessary Roughness is đ„đ„
She's still got it.
Come back, Rage, we need youâ€ïž
I was trying to state the same truth, her lyrics from 1990, to the end of her career. Absolutely destroyed 90% of the male rappers..
She didn't get enough recognition for her raw talent
"let me loosen up my bra strap" is one of the most iconic lyrics ever written
Right
FORREAL
So good!
Right off tha bat in this joint like daaaaaaaaaamn when i heard her say that i said this lady is DOPE
AGREED!
I heard lady of rage is having health difficulties..wish her the best please!!!
God Bless her and her loved ones â€â€â€
get well sis from Australia, loves ya
too much blunts
Get well soon legend
@@rogerklotz7737 tf are u talking about???
Her flow and wordplay place her in legendary status.
Legendary is the same category as ice t and dre. She isn't in that way.
@@bryanshuping7344 For the female MC'S back in the day. She is an OG.
Agreed. I think some people might be too young to pick up on/appreciate some of the references in her lyrics, e.g., *âI'm the one that's throwinâ bolos, ya better roll a RoloâŠâ,* or *âThe capital RA now take it to the GE, I bring good things to light {life}, but you still canât see meâ.* Or *âI flow like the monthly, you canât cramp my style, for those that try to punk me, hereâs a Pamprin childâ.* A lot of people may not know what Rolos or Pamprin are, and theyâve never even heard of GE. đ
@@bryanshuping7344 2:20 on she sounds better than prime dre... like a female prime dre.. how can you even..
dre started her, and shes on track with snoop. ie legend.
What I love about Rage is she's in full control of how and what she spits. The lyrics are hitting but the profanity is very limited and that's coming from an emcee from the Death row camp. She's an awesome artist. One girl proud of her Afro puffs.
She did say GOD's name in vain however I get what you are saying. Tupac did curse a lot but he did have some songs where he did not curse at all as well.
â@toreytownsend4705 using God's name in vain is using God's name to gain monetary value ect not really cussing
I noticed that too. That's really very impressive. Hardcore but controlled profanity. Any age group can listen to abd enjoy this song
@@toreytownsend4705 GODDAMN is not really saying God's name in vain. People really don't know what taking God's name in name in vain means.
Up till this point, the hardest female rapper to me was MC LYTE.
One of the biggest mistakes Death Row made was not dropping Rages album.
Dizzle her album shouldâve dropped in atleast 1994. They waited till Death Row was damn near dead to drop her shit.
She was thrown to the side for tupac shakur, they was supposed to drop her album before tupac existed on the label....but finally did it in 1997. And Death Row was finished at that time
@@krusherblakwell3679 after all that she aint come out till 97? Yea suge droped the ball. All the pac n big drama smh. I hope she can eat 4 ever from her work.
@@sweetwaterpeachestttoxx1917 Right After Afro Puffs in '94 , She was supposed to drop her debut album in '95, but like i said , she was thrown to the side when her boss pushed up Tupac after bailing him outta jail, so he could skyrock, and fuel shitty beef with bad boy. Rage is pretty dope, She was tremendous on Doggystyle,The chronic. Love "Necessary Roughness" which came out in "97 when the label was dry...but really i didn't think Death Row was interested in investing in her like they should ve
100%
"I got the tongue that has out done anyone from the rising to the setting of the sun or the moon, I consume the room with doom when I hear the kick of an 808 bass boom boom bam, god daaaamn!"
Her wordplay was so ahead of it's time, I'd wager all I have on her against 95% of today's rappers.
Yes the way dje dropped that lyric !đ
đ„đ„đ„đ„
Hell yeah âđŸ
It's so natural it sounds like an off the top freestyle
Old school west coast rap is legendary and no one can deny
Such a badass song. She needed to be more popular. Sheâs hard.
that beat is still hitting hard LOL
Snoop Dogg was 17
@@taniyagreen5380 snoop was 22
Help yeah I like the longer version the best
The West Coast had shit locked down more than Alcatraz. No shit absolutely :)
Weren't there 2 versions of this tho?
My mom used to sing this to me when I was little because I always had lil Afro puffs đđ
Are you fully black show the Lady of Rage is like the Bratz except crazier and harder. I know you hear me coming so you better watch your back I know you hear me coming cuz I am not making a Micmac can I drop the bomb drop the bomb can I drop the bomb can I drop the bomb drop the bomb ball hair wrap come say what comes with like it and and the epilepsy and Macy's never said the Peppa try to make us all I'm the one that. I'm going to make us less time than making it making a mess back and I'm taking trash.
Yow Yow if your Mom sang this to you mannn she's " Awesome "
" I Rock Ruff N Stuff wid ma AFRO PUFF "
Rage is very pretty
Love her on the Steve Harvey show
I played this for my daughter when she was little too.â€â€. Now my youngest loves it!đ„đ„
This brings back so many memories. I loved the Lady of Rage.
How did we get to this stage where it became more important to look like a stripper than to actually have talent? Itâs a shame.
The internet
Well, did you see the dancers in this particular video? A generation gets inspired by the generation before theirs.
man you said it !!
Yetunde Oshati not a shame... just normalizing certain ways which were considered inappropriate but it is interesting
Fazts
Cardi B is wack
What can they say?
Talent no longer there
JEAN GRAE
I had one of my old white professors in college tell me that Iâm rockin tough with my Afro puffs and didnât know what he was talking about until I found this song đđđđ
Thank goodness for CZcams and the Google machine! âđżđ âđż

I said that to someone today, so I had to look up the video
Cool professor

She still got bars saw her perform at CIAA in Baltimore MD 2022 at Rams Lounge.All female MC tribute Lady of Rage still got it
Death Row Records was the Motown of Gangsta Rap
Great discription.
Great comment.
Death Row was like the LA Lakers. Suge was the OWNER, Dr Dre was the coach, and Snoop, Tupac, Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, Lady of Rage were the players
Death row the Motown of gang'sta rap .. Not buddy what are you smoking on , pass that shit over here đŹ
The beginning of ruthless records was THE Shit bro
I never knew that. Thanks for skoolin' an old lady. I appreciate cha. đ„

She hated this song and fought for it not to get released, then she had a change of heart after seeing itâs success.
2021... She's still rocking the Afro Puffs.
2023 and I still love this beat by Rage.
This video, lyrics ,artist and rap song are legendary.

her name was coretta and they all was scared of her and she liked romeo i love that show
Oh, she was an actual artist? I had no idea!!
Indiegirl007 yes.. she was on Death Row Records. If you can listen to the intro on Snoops Doggystyle and the 2 cuts on Dr. Dreâs The Chronic sheâs on. She can flow!
@@t.j.styles356 she still flows NOW. Look up the video of the song with her and mc eiht produced by DJ Premier. Came out like at the most two years ago and she still flowing crazy but it's funny cuz she looks like a soccer mom LOL
@@ChromeTecNina oh damn i need to check that out !

One of the Most underrated female rappers of all times. She definitely delivered the lyrics!
Still one of the greatest 90's classic
This is for the people they don't know....
She is baby D from the movie Friday..
She also played on the STEVE HARVEY'S SHOW as Romeo's 2nd. girlfriend.
Yep, Betta give up them Twinkies she wanted ha ha ha!

I hope so too she's even tougher than most male rappers like Moneyboy, Jan Delay, Sido etc!!!!
Man, I remember those good 90's. Rage did her thing for a little while back then. This song is still hard!âđŸ
Big man at 4:55 is such a vibe
I used to LOVE this song when it first came out. Knew this song word for word.
She's like Queen Latifah if she was living on the westside
Factss that's what I was thinking
That part
Right
Yup!!
True but the lady of rage is from the east coast thatâs why she was way more lyrical than west coast rappers.
girls from the 90's was gorgeous.
Us girls always look beautiful makeup or no makeup. Surgery no surgery
Still gorgeous.
Vito Margaliano yup they was

LADY OG!!!
Anyone else here from randomly hearing this on GTA 5's radio?? I cant get enough of this now. So glad they put music like this in video games.
also references GTA San Andreas Theme right ?
Haduken!!! Even gives street fighter props.
She said shoryuken not hadoken thats different. Shoryuken is a dragon punch or dragon fist. Hadoken is a blue fireball came from ryu or ken and akuma
Lady of Rage had such great musical flow. It just heartbreaks me that she never got the respect and support she deserved.
Sheâs not dead
@@dillantrader6898 I know.
She needs way more recognition than she gets.

One of the most underrated female rapper with Bahamadia.
back when record companies used to really invest in their artist :(
JAY JAY BINKS donât be an idiot.....btw, history lesson: Asians derive from the San Tribe from southwest Africa. Google the San Tribe and look at the images. Youâre welcome
I dunno, I feel like Death Row definitely did not put a big investment in her. They kinda threw this one g-funk sounding single on a soundtrack, threw Snoop Dogg on it to give it some hype, and then sat on her only album for 3 years after that, watched it get on the Billboard 200, and then fucked off after that. I remember rocking this single as a kid, she should've been more invested in. She'd be huge right now.
@JAY JAY BINKS Well aren't you just a dickhead? Wow!
@@dvstinjames You right. Suge Knight really didn't invest much in her and many other Death Row artists
@@dvstinjames true true
One of the greatest FemCees to ever live!!!
I bought her CD when it came out. Brilliant album for the mid 90's, loved it. Still got it somewhere, boxed up with all my old cds.
I put all my old đ Cdâs & cassettes on digital saved onto multiple computers & hard drives, flash. Whatever it takes to have more than one back up. That way I donât have to dig for them. Just takes time to get it all downloaded.
