Back in the 90's there where a lot of great female emcees but one (NOTE: EDITORS OPINION) stood out above the rest and that sista was Shortie No Mass. The first time I heard this young lady was on the De La Soul's: Buhloone Mindstate. Shortie reminded me of a better rappin' Monie Love (Note from editor: your still cold to me sista Monie) and then I heard her on The Roots: Organix and was rippin' it, after in 2004 that she had a single called U Like My Style which is really good but after that I heard nothing more from queen No Mass.
Sista No Mass we miss you Please... Please Drop another banger for music sake.
Shortie No Mas is an underrated MC.
ReplyDeletepretty sure organix came out before buhloone mind state.
ReplyDeletei read somewhere that 2002 single release was recorded in 1995.
and i think she also did a fs on a tony touch mixtape.
if there is any chance at all that she is reading this, eye know there aren't too many of us, but u second this sentiment.
i would love a complete, cohesive album!!
f it. an ep like errrbody's doing lately.
or an lp with short songs.
you're "style" would still stand out now.
please and thank you.
there was also lin que from x clan mob.. think she changed it to asia.. wish she was still around, too.
DeleteI saw her live once in Virginia Beach during a Dr La Soul and Tribe Called Quest tour. We knew/thought she was much younger than us at the tyme, but what a radiant beauty. Akaholiks opened, which was a bad choice for that show. Immmediately afterwards, I stood on stage behind the wheels right between Ali Shaheed and Maceo, then met Q-tip and the late Phife outside. Peace.
ReplyDelete*De La Soul.
DeleteSNM on Rockwilder production remains definitive.
ReplyDeleteNone of these answer the question that I really wanna know. What happened to Shortie No Mass!?
ReplyDeleteShe's good. She's just living life. Working and enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for clearing that up, ''anonymous'' ;) We love you T.T.!
ReplyDeleteA true talent!
