MC Sha-Rock has staked her claim as being the first female rapper in Hip-Hop history in response to fellow rap pioneer Debbie D. On Tuesday (March 14), Sha-Rock made a broadcast on both Instagram and Twitter listing her musical history and contributions to Hip-Hop dating back to the ’70s.
In the clip, Sha-Rock blasts Debbie D, who posted about being the first female rap soloist on Instagram the day before. In her argument, Sha-Rock points to being the first female rapper to appear on national television, the first to land a record deal, and other milestones throughout her career.
“MC Sha-Rock, the first female of Hip-Hop culture is about to kick the ballistics of the formation of the female emcee before records, before 1979 and I’ma let y’all know why I had to do this” she says near the beginning of the clip.
