She literally changed music.

Neo-Soul is a genre i feel she created

Maxwell and Badu was doing it the year before.

 

[Chicity]

If Latifah doesn't make it I'm burning this bitch down!

Maxwell and Badu was doing it the year before.

I'd give max,badu and d'angelo the credit for that but i wouldnt be mad at people giving L.Hill partial credit. I'm pretty sure Killin Me Softly came out before any of them had a song out.

Killing Me Softly isn’t a neo soul song imo.

The Queen would like to have a word w/ you.

As an rapper, nah. But as an entertainer, I'd give it to her.
