I shouldn't have to because it's outlandish and this the only place where niggas don't agree. She obviously is to her peers who address her as such.

Trina was one of the few female rap pioneers from the south (not to mention Dominican) who came into the game at a young age with Trick Daddy and blew up and set a blueprint for female rappers much of which are still copying today. She also (along with Lil Kim and Foxy) helped speak for a generation of women in Hip-Hop, her success was paramount to showcasing what was possible for HipHop and you didn't need to be a rap impressario like Lil Kim or move weight like Foxy. You could be from the bottom AND be a woman and just happen to rhyme hype. Before Cardi was giving hope to strippers, there was Trina. Before you put Cardi B or Meg The Stallion on a pedestal pay homage to those who came before and respect it.

All these stripper turnt rappers, foh that's Trina's blueprint. Trina comes from that class of Missy, Eve, Lil Kim, Fox Boogie, Left Eye. She's a legend for her commitment to the game and the impact she had in the south and Hip Hop just off her success alone. She made her bones musically and as a rapper never backing down from a battle or challenge no matter who it was. Not much else needs to be said. She has hits, music, plaques, etc. If you pull up every female rapper ever to drop a rap album Trina is rounding out a top 5 or 10 in terms of success, influence and impact.

The problem with this is niggas here don't really respect or contribute to female hip hop at all. So you're gonna get a biased opinion and/or one that's not even familiar with Trina',s music or willing to look at her career objectively. It's like trying to get niggas to rate and categorize Beyoncé's classics. Niggas can't do it but females definitely can. Females who cut from that cloth or came up in that era love Trina.
Whoa hol up!

Trina Dominican?
 
Let abw tell it, only Jay, Nas, Pac and Big are legends...
They not the only legends, but they represent the 4 corner stones of this rap shit. They the most talked about and respected, the people's choice overall for the last 25 years and going. They in a class all by themselves then it's everybody else.
 
On ABW that's the case but everywhere else says otherwise. I seen niggas on here say Cam'ron isn't a legend and that he's a "vet" *rolls eyes*

King Jaffe Joe is a fuckin legend.

Btw here's an article on Trina from Forbes of all places

How many of this legends albums do you own Sion
 
You don't have to be a ratchet to listen to Trina. And yes, ik all the words to "Look Back at It".
What a minute, you drive an Altima AND know all the words to LBAI???

Might have to change ya name to Diamondish.....

FALSE.. niggas give props to female rappers all the time. MC Lyte, Latifah, Kim, Foxy, Lauryn Hill , Nicki, Remy, Rah Digga, Young MA, Rapsody and many more get props as emcees .

They aint ALL legends but they get respect so lets not do that.

Trina aint in the same conversation as the names mentioned above IMO.

I feel like I ask this in every thread. How are we determining what a legend is?

You went too far with the bold(Lauryn not included). Trina is more known than them easily and more respected IMO

Lauryn Hill is not a rapper. She is an R&B singer who just happens to be able to rap better than most other female only rappers but she ain't a rapper.

The Miseducation is her only studio album and that ain't a rap album.

We not about to just completely ignore THE SCORE fam.. nah lol

and to the other points you made.. Trina may be more well known... more respected as an emcee tho? Iono about all that

The Score is a group album that had her singing and rapping on it. Lauryn has done more singing than rapping
