QUEEN LATIFAH ON THE HUNT FOR RAP TALENT
QUEEN LATIFAH is giving aspiring female rappers across America a boost by calling on them to support her on tour.
The singer/actress, who started out as a hip-hop star, feels it's her duty to nurture new female talent - because there aren't enough women in rap.
She says, "In my entire career... never has it been so male dominated as it is right now.
"I would be doing an injustice if I don't try to help bring up the next up-and-coming female rappers... It's just not right to have hip-hop with no female voices anymore.
"There was (M.C.) Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa, Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown, Missy (Elliot)... Eve, and now there's like one person, maybe.
"So far I have 25 dates booked, 25 different cities, and so I want to discover the new female rapper or the new female rap group."
Latifah is asking wannabes to register on her website and upload a minute of a song.

10.and it has now become apart of me, its my passion and besides school, all i
want to do is show the world my talent and express myself <3. I feel like you
do, we females deserve a place and a permanent one in this rap game/industry
and we have to keep advancing what artist like queen latifah(yourself),
mc-lyte, roxanne started.we gotta keep it going and not allow critics and
others to sleep on us.... Ive recently seen net headlines and heard on radio
stations that you're currently on the hunt for talented female entertainers. It
then suddenly came to me that this may be it. and for such an accomplished
young black inspiring female, actor/model not to mention one the best female
rappers on this earth, and many other successes; to take time and search for
other talented females is very thoughtful you. many of US has waited for this
chance forever.lol.and i would love the opportunity to "show you what i got"
