Lady Sovereign (new MC)

[ggirlballa]

has anybody else heard of this new female MC? i hear from Rolling Stone that Adrock did sum remix for her or some stuff like that and that she's currently under Def Jam.

this is the first i've ever heard of her. How bout' anybody else?

[ggirlballa]

i think she's huge in the UK.


i've heard sum of her stuff she has more of a missy elliot kinda style.

[ggirlballa]

she looks 13 or 14. wen i saw a pic of her drinkin' a bottle of vodka or pernod i was like wut the hell is she doin?!! :eek: then i found out she's 19

( still ilegal here in the US though! idk about the UK)

[laurie_hammy]

Adrock's remix is pretty noice

[cAm]

that EP is good!
adrock´s remix is nice

[Micodin]

I heard her like a year ago on the 'Run the Road' comp that came out on Vice. She's a grime style UK mc. So, if your looking for a traditional american female rapper your not going to get it.

[ragdoll_92]

Well she certainly isnt huge here. She's actually kinda dismissed as being a damned annoying little chav. All gold teeth and chip fat hair. The song adrock did was a little bit of shhh. Its way better than the original.
You never know though she could turn out to be great!

Hell no she's not huge, do you think we all have that bad taste? Chavs like her are polluting this country :mad:

[Brooklyn Babe]

Lady Sovereign rocks - she is a totally wicked MC. She'll be turning 20 this month. She has amazing flow and style. She's even started a campaign to "Save the Hoodie" ( www.savethehoodie.com) an item they want to ban in England because its associated with gangs. You can read about Sov - in the last issue of Blender with ashley simpson on the cover. There is also a very nice cover story on her in the new issue of Venus magazine. Sov is the best. She even takes time to talk to her fans on her message board. You can click on the link in my sig to view her website. Check out the music video for Hoodie. (y)

Get Cheeky :p

[beastiedan]

"random" is fire.. one of the best beats of the last few years..

[Jiberish]

I got the chance to chill with Sovand her DJ, Normstar[I think] the night before the Boston show at the middle east and at a small after party we threw together. They are cool folks.

I'd never heard her music 'till I saw her live, but seriously she spits some fucking venom. Fast as hell for such a lil' girl. And I like grime beats, hers are pretty good.

I really wanted to ask her about Ad Rock, but I never really got around to it. She's friends of a friend so I'll see her next time they come through.

[plutomama]

and the remix adrock did was excellent. my husband played it for me on kexp radio online....very cool. :p

Oh and you think banning the hoodie is a bad thing? You ever come home after a night out in any major British City to be mugged/abused by a load of chavs who are all wearing hoodies? When they got their dam hoods up you can't the b.astards on CCTV either. :mad:

[Extra Cheese]

she should just go away and never come back.. make herself disappear.

she is damn awful

[paul jones]

She's garbage.

[Otis Driftwood]

I havfe a lot of respect for all your educated opinions, but since you can't agree on shit, how bout a torrent?

[Axl Z]

Daphne and Celeste: Mark II

[ragdoll_92]

I remember hearing her late one night on radio one and she sounded potentially good. But she can also be bloody annoying too!

Adrocks remix is definitely worth checking out though.

the question is.....Is she better than Monie Love?

[martijn]

damn she looks like sporty spice

http://www.ladysovereign.com/images/g1_3.jpg

[Lihi]

LOL !!! :D EXACTLY what I thought when I first saw her pics. What an annoying resemblance.... she's quite annoying herself.

[splatter-house]

the question is.....Is she better than Monie Love?

Lol...props to CJ for recognising the old-skool UK female MCs!

[Micodin]

the question is.....Is she better than Monie Love?



She's a better dresser than Monie. But, her mc'ing isnt as good as 'Bonnie 'N' Clyde'...

[laurie_hammy]

damn she looks like sporty spice

http://www.ladysovereign.com/images/g1_3.jpg

in that pic she looks identicle.

[B.style]

the question is.....Is she better than Monie Love? Why'd you mention only Monie Love?

[cj hood]

cuz i know she's not better then the Wee Papa Girls!!!!!

[Weezman]

cuz i know she's not better then the Wee Papa Girls!!!!!


its LIKE that... yeah....its like that,... so heat it uP!!

[B.style]

cuz i know she's not better then the Wee Papa Girls!!!!!
What I meant in asking is that other than Monie Love are you aware of other UK female mcs, that's all that I'm inquiring about, dude.

[Funkyfreshgrape]

That would be cool if some post a pic! :)

[Funkyfreshgrape]

damn she looks like sporty spice

http://www.ladysovereign.com/images/g1_3.jpg
I thought she would look different!

[ggirlballa]

how tall is she?

[mikizee]

i dont like her. that track random is bloody awful. hen i heard it i remember thinking 'how the fuck did this get on the radio???' and whats this 'chav' business you ppl are talking about? speak english, please.

[Jiberish]

I think she was probably 5 1 or 5 2. She barley came up to my shoulder. I think she also said she was 2 inches too tall to be a midget. You have to be 4 9 or shorter to be a midget so, she's...5 1.

[Chad the Lad]

aye, she's wikid!

i heard her a few years back on a "fit but you know it" remix

i thought she wis the fury!

if Jay signed her (apparently he asked her to spit on the spot for him - that clinched it) she must be the shit!

we dont call em chavs, call em neds

[Friis gal]

I like her. She can be a pain in the ass, but she is pretty cool.

The 'fit but you know it' thingie is realy cool, I hope she gets more 'grime'-ish sometime...

[ms. pooh]

i heard her a few years back on a "fit but you know it" remix



(y)

[Jiberish]

No, 4'9" + 2 = 4'11".


Yeah. My bad.

[alexandra]

she looks like someone i wouldn't listen to. but then again, i haven't heard her shit.

[Foreign Beggar]

Pretty poor. She has an annoying voice, don't like her music really, but I'm not denying that she can sure spit, she is potentially good.

[ggirlballa]

she reminds me of missy elliot :p
mostly becuase of the ADIDAS thing she has going on. :cool:

[ggirlballa]

No, 4'9" + 2 = 4'11".

wait but on one of her songs she says she's 5'1"

[kaiser soze]

is this her?

http://www.ladysovereign.com/images/galleries/Gallery%201/hires/ladysov_high.jpg

I'd rather listen to a portishead cd skipping

[nodoubtTIF]

What I've heard of from her so far (2 or 3 songs) she has a weird voice, but the music she is rapping to is good.

[alexandra]

did Adam remix "A Little Bit of Shhh"? edit; just heard it anyway, and i can clearly say that i would never buy her record(s).

[WHUFC]

lady sov is class since she a can actually spit unlike some of the shit you here like g unit and that. people like dizzy rascal and lady sov uk rap and grime on the map not mention the great rock scene at the moment franz ferdinand, ordinary boys, kaiser chiefs, artic monkeys i feel spoilt for choice :cool:

[Jmoney77]

Nice remix (y)

[midzi]

from the interview with I Like Music (http://www.ilikemusic.com/interviews/Lady_Sovereign_Interview-1844?PHPSESSID=54a2d592050c6beb264bd13cd0ebb35f)

ilm: The exclusive remix by The Beastie Boy's Ad Rock, how did that come about?

Lady Sov: I'm not sure, its weird. He must have just heard some stuff and wanted to do a remix, which is wicked man. My mum was well chuffed about it as well because she's a big Beastie Boys fan. She was almost in tears for fucks sake, I was like oh my god, it was wicked man. All of that stuff is just so flattering, all these big timers, legends sniffing around.

[zorra_chiflada]

yeah she is chavvy. kinda like M.I.A. but not as good. it seems that americans like her more than the english folks. i can understand the annoyance at chavs.

[zorra_chiflada]

i dont like her. that track random is bloody awful. hen i heard it i remember thinking 'how the fuck did this get on the radio???' and whats this 'chav' business you ppl are talking about? speak english, please.

haha. yeah. i think you'll find it is english.

[King of Rock $]

One more vote for "garbage"

[beastiedan]

I like her. She's witty. She can flow.

I really like the Random Remix from the Vertically Challenged EP, sick 808 beat.

[ggirlballa]

haha. yeah. i think you'll find it is english.
then i guess speak american so all u brits lower down your IQ's so we can understand you.:p

anyways i think she's aight, hey she's down with AdRock:cool: and Pharrell:cool: that's sum dope people to be working with.:cool:

[camo]

here we go:


'chav' derives from cheltenaham (sp) average. Others names are, townies scallies, pikeys. It's basically british slang for groups of youths who hang around shops, malls, town squares and other well lit places looking for trouble.

They all were the same kind of clothes: you guys have the (blue) crips and the (red) bloods, we have the burberry chavs. They all wear casual sports clothes, like stripey lacoste sweaters, timberland boots (not shit kickers, but smart looknig boots), tracksuit bottoms tucked into stripey socks, or shorts with white socks and shoes. Both male and female dress this way. The big thing in Britain now is the 'hoody culture'. Chavs causing trouble, vandalism, mugging, wearing sweater with hoods up (to hide from the security cameras).


THEY ALL NEED A GOOD FUCKING HIDING IF YOU ASK ME, JUST LIKE THE PUNK WHO WRECKED MY GIRLS CAR. I FOUND HIM ROUND THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE TRYING TO GET AWAY OVER THE FENCE WITH THE STEREO FROM THE CAR. I SLAPPED HIM SO HARD HIS GRANDKIDS ARE GONNA HAVE BRUSIES.


No one in britain likes a chav, not even their own mom

[beastieluver85]

I love her...;)

[ggirlballa]

well then isn't a "chav" pretty much a thug? and girls dress like that wow!

white socks and white tee's and a shaved head thats wut u call in L.A a cholo my cousins are all like that tsk tsk tsk:(

anyways..................... wut?:confused:

[beastieluver85]

The part in 9-5 when she says:"Oh shit Im in FHM posing in a bikini
Next to a Lamborghini
Next stop the theme tune for Tweenies
Im presenting C-beebies
[pukes] Have u seen me?
Never again, am I drinking lambrini
Its alright Sov it's a dream... jus wake up!"
She could have easily said like I worked with Adam from the Beasties... just saying:rolleyes:

But, I love her... buying the album this weekend.:D
