It’s Women’s History Month and whats better than celebrating some of the culture’s most influential female hip-hop artist.  Well, it happened this past week in front of the world, on the floor of the United States House of Representatives.

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries from New York’s 8th district, took time to honor these remarkable women of hiphop:

“Throughout the years, artists such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Springstein have been recognized on the floor of the House of Representatives. Today I rise to honor the top 10 female MC hip-hop collaborations of all time.”

The Congressman shouted out from number ten to number one, Eve, Monie Love, Missy Ellliott, Remy Ma, Lauryn Hill, Nicki Minaj, Da Brat, Lady of Rage, Foxxy Brown, Lil Kim.  Along with these extraordinary MC’s he also gave a shout out to Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Salt and Peppa for shattering Hip-Hop’s glass ceiling.

In the words of Rep Hakeem Jeffries, “Celebrating Women’s history month, these dynamic women are worthy to be praised!”
