I honestly don't think of Lauryn Hill as a true rapper. More of a, well, soft hip hop, almost...I really don't know what category she falls into(in my opinion). To me, a female rapper would be like Queen Latifah, Lady of Rage, Eve, Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa; just to name a few. She is talented, but like I said, I feel that she isn't an actual rapper. Later, QD.
