If the Billboard Hot 100 thought 2019 was a buzzing year for female rappers, 2020 is taking things to an even higher level.
As we reported here, ‘WAP’ – an all-female Rap collaboration (Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion) – sits atop the tally for the first time in history. As if that’s not enough, hits from the likes of Saweetie (‘Tap In’), Stallion (‘Savage’ and ‘Girls in the Hood’), Doja Cat (‘Say So’ and ‘Like That’), Nicki Minaj (‘Say So’ and ‘Move Ya Hips’), and others are spotted in various positions along the hit list.
Among the new class making noise is RCA Records rapstress Mulatto.
First garnering national attention as the winner of Lifetime’s reality music competition ‘The Rap Game,’ her rise to prominence began with her breakthrough single, ‘B*tch from Da Souf’ (which was later remixed with Saweetie and Trina).
Just days after being named one of only 2 female rappers included in XXL’s coveted ‘Freshman Class’ list for 2020, the femcee (born Alyssa Stephens) learned ‘Souf’ was certified Gold by the RIAA this week and had cracked the Hot 100 for the first time.
Over a year-and-a-half after its premiere, ‘B*tch from Da Souf’ worked up enough steam on the streaming and digital download front to enter the Hot 100. Debuting at #95, its arrival marks Stephens’ first appearance on the hit list.
The tune is one of many gems found aboard her debut album, ‘Queen of Da Souf,’ which is slated for release August 21.
Look below to see who joins her on this week’s TGJ Chart Check.
It only took TGJ 2 years to start posting about Princess Mulatto. She has next after Cardi.
Where’s “Move ya hips” on the chart this week? Why dont yall post about how Nicki’s songs freefall after 1 week? LOL. NICKI MINAJ CANNOT COMPETE WITH CARDI B!
Because Cardi b song lost over 500 radio point s and it’s not even two weeks old
We more focused on how a #1 song does that despite a big budget video heavy playlists and paid actors to promote it (viola and kerry)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
5.36 million radio impressions ****
Honey, where is Move Ya Hips on billboard? Not in the top 40 LOL. WAP will remain in the top 10 🙂 Stay mad wit yo DAP
Lies still doing great on radio YouTube Spotify keep hating will be number 1 next week as well
Broke all Kinds of records biggest debut numbers of year pure sales already platinum YouTube almost 110 million views and rising almost 60 million on Spotify but u pick radio play nice try hater biggest debut on YouTube also breaking all kinds of records next
And still number 2 iTunes s beating drake new song but oh yea what a flop huh
This so dumb that y’all really stress out about numbers..you’re all obviously not as successful as any of the women mentioned so you just sound so silly arguing over this mess..when you have millions and you’ve been on the charts maybe your 2¢ will matter to Cardi B and a Nicki
I’m hoping she has next but it’ll be after Megan. We are still waiting on her debut album. I feel like mulatto needs to slow down a bit, she’s already putting out debut but folks are still catching on to her….she needs some very strategic features over the next year.
Agreed. Should’ve made it an EP. BFS is my shid tho
I didn’t know this woman but after listening to the song, I personnaly don’t see anything something special about it. Anyway, congratulations for her.
The days of nicki minAJ monopolising female rap are over.
Rap girls are popping up everywhere.
The bet award for best female rap category is going to have a shake up next year.
Megan
Cardi
Saweetie
Doja
Mulatto
BET doesn’t know Doja.
Rap girls might be popping up all over, but doesn’t mean they are successful.
Barbz are all bark and no bite 🐩 🤣
Four-time Grammy-winning & multi-platinum-selling BLACK icon TRACY CHAPMAN is murdering song thief NICKI MINAJ in court. Check out today’s Hollywood Reporter about Nicki stealing another black female’s work. Nicki knows she’s going to lose so she’s on the attack. Nicki loves rapiiissts, moles*ters and professional snitches, so you know she’s going down.
Tracy has two albums that are certified 6 million and 5 million platinum, plus other platinum and Gold records.
You are obsessed with Nicki Minaj how tf you let someone you don’t like stress you out like this??? Just support because you actually like these other artists not out of spite
If Tracy Chapman wins this case, it will be a huge blow to the hip-hop industry. Nicki Minaj didn’t commercially distribute the song nor did she give a DJ permission to play the leaked song. I don’t see how the case wins in court when Nicki Minaj made no money off of it. She also asked for permission.
It’s not Nickis fault that people didn’t entertain other female rappers during her debut. She became famous for her mixtape and a dvd that had real rappers just spitting bars “the come up” what y’all can’t do is take away any of her successes no matter how hard you try to drag her for her current position in pop culture..she’ll always be more successful than you. Weren’t you just dragging Meg a few weeks ago now you act like you love her cause she proved your dumbass wrong lol! Go back to being obsessed over Normani troll
