Every good party playlist deserves some rap, but it can often feel like women are under represented in the genre. Rarely does a party go by where you don't hear some Kanye, some Kendrick, even some Eminem. These are all great, but sometimes you want something more, the edge that female rappers bring to the table. To help you bring your playlists to the next level, here are five songs by female rappers that will revolutionize your parties and get everyone out on the dance floor.
1. No Scrubs - TLC
This song is a classic that frequents many party playlists, but far too many people make the mistake of including the album version rather than the main mix, which has a killer verse by Lisa "Left eye" Lopes. The song was released in 1999 but the fun, catchy anthem is as much of a hit at parties today as it was then.
2. Left Ey3 - Kreayshawn
With a great beat and quick rhymes, Kreayshawn's "Left Ey3" is sure to be a party favorite. The song is packed full of clever pop culture references, from Britney Spears to Amy Winehouse. The song is fun to dance to, and even if you don't know the words the catchy chorus makes it a fun track that everyone can sing along to.
3. Dr. Pepper - Diplo (feat. CL, RiFF RAFF, OG Maco)
This star studded song will bring life to any dance floor. The chorus and verse by South Korean artist CL is full of attitude that will raise the energy in any room. The verses by RiFF RAFF and OG Maco don't disappoint either, making the song an all around great listen.
4. Echelon (It's my way) - Angel Haze
A single from Angel Haze's 2013 Album, "Echelon (It's my way)" is an energetic and upbeat song full of synth. Perfect for the beginning of parties, the song draws you and doesn't let you go till it's over. Haze's vocals are driving and powerful, flowing right into the chorus without losing any of the energy she starts the song with.
5.Lip Gloss - Lil Mama
What's a good party without a throwback to middle school? Lil Mama's 2007 hit Lip Gloss is one of those songs that you don't realize you know all the words to until you're already singing along. Even the most hesitant partygoer will join in with the song's fun and bubbly choruses.
