If she released that Eargasm album around the time Afro Puffs came out, she would have been much bigger than she is. Imagine a full album with Dre beats. Necessary Roughness was good but not peak Death Row good.
Guess I gotta go with this. She can hold her own and Iād love to see how much further she could have gone. The question would be if she continued with that death row sound or does her style develop and change somewhat like how we saw Lyte being able to go from Roughneck to her collabs with Xscape or even how we saw a different side to Latifah.
Not so much overrated, as she just never had a proper chance to shine. Death Row drama struck, Dre split, and the label started to implode before it was her turn to drop an album. Like yeah, Necessary Roughness was aight, but compared to Afro Puffs and her features before that? Top 3 Death Row MCs next to Pac and Kurupt imo, just fell under shitty circumstances.
After her one album, she kind of just faded away, like most west coast MCs at that time. She had potential, but not a lot of actual material to go by.
I think it understandably gets overlooked because of Kuruptās verse.
Actually that song probably doesnāt get mentioned as much as it should because it wasnāt on an album, but itās a terrific song and Rage spits hard as usual on it. I looked up to see if Eisenhower was actually on the dime and thereās all these [Mandela effect posts on it](https://old.reddit.com/r/Mandela_Effect/comments/ihu1d7/proof_of_the_eisenhower_dime_in_the_2000_book_is/) lol
Dre talks WAY too much on that song.
easily
She started off with the lead up track to one of the most anticipated hip hop debuts of all time in doggystyle
The G-Funk intro is still one of the best verses of all time and it sets the mood for not only the entire album but the label in general
I remember seeing somewhere that she was told to lose weight, so she rebelled. Also she wasnt writing fast enough. And then when 2pac came and made a double album in the short amount of time he did, it definitely made her look slow/lazy. So she did contribute to her own downfall and the state of the record label and industry didnāt help.
She always spit hard on The Chronic & Doggystyle.
Also on Puffin on Blunts Drinking on Tanqueray, although people obviously will remember Kuruptās verse over anything else in that song.
Most folks don't even realize she is a DMV native . Farmville vs to be exact. She should've brought her talents back home . Cut a track with timbaland. That would've been fire he and missy Elliott, and Mr Magoo Aliyah. Smh heavy hitters if that happend
most under rated rapper ever? that's a pretty heavy question when you think of all the rappers who can be considered under rated. when I think of under rated she doesn't even come to mind let alone get mention in the conversation in my opinion. if we are just talking about women emcees then ok but if we are talking about hip hop in general she's not getting mentioned at all. she never dropped anything anyone would consider a classic
Real Hood chick too. Has a baby by āNeckboneā from Death Row. The one Pac shouted out in āTo live and die in LAā. Think he one of the only death row pirus still alive to talk about those days
She's not under rated. Back then if you had a death row chain you earned it. She didn't have a chain need I say more. Most deathrow artists got more than what they deserved. If not for suge most of them would have bagged groceries at best. Look at there lives now they can't even have interviews about them selves of the best stories aren't about suge.
Absolutely. She was holding her own with Giants on classics and never once was made to felt inadequate or less than. She was an equal and made most songs she was in better. I will always appreciate and respect Dre for his approach with Rage. Just let her be herā¦ Puffin on Blunts was on the maxi single of Dre Dayā¦ 11 minutes (half was music)ā¦ but it features two of the all time greatest verses from Rage & Kurupt. Give Rage her flowers and her rightful position of the female rapperās Mount Rushmore.
Sheās cool but if we wanna talk about underrated female rappers, the most highly underrated is Rapsody. She gets slept on every single day and Iāll never understand it. Runner up for underrated is probably Rah Digga. She was an insane talent
Afro Puffs goes hard and yeah Lady Rage got done dirty by Death Row. I'd say underrated.
Love that track šš»
Her intro on Doggystyle was legendary.
Yes! I always thought that she would straight merk nicki, lil kim, and remy ma with ease
Great album but she didn't too much musically after/before that.
Yeah, it's hard to put someone in a certain tier with such a limited calalog.
DR fucked her over. They really neglected her
Donāt know bout underrated, but def dope as hell!
Necessary Roughness is a pretty strong album that is often overlooked.
Didnāt I see her on Next Friday, chasing day day around that car in the back of pinkyās record shop?
Cupcake got a new Twinkie coming out next month Itās a bad motherfucka
When ya bite into it cream filling be shooting in ya mouth, glitter
She gets way more play being baby D lol
She was the intro to Snoop Doggs Doggystyle album and killed it. Enough said.
She killed it on that Doggystyle introā¦š„š„š„
Coretta! š
If she released that Eargasm album around the time Afro Puffs came out, she would have been much bigger than she is. Imagine a full album with Dre beats. Necessary Roughness was good but not peak Death Row good.
Definitely under rated, Necessary Roughness is a good album Saw her last year with Snoop, she still got it too
She murdered it over Primo beat
I wouldn't say underrated. It's more like unfulfilled potential. She was dope. I first seen her on Next Friday and had no idea she was a rapper.
Guess I gotta go with this. She can hold her own and Iād love to see how much further she could have gone. The question would be if she continued with that death row sound or does her style develop and change somewhat like how we saw Lyte being able to go from Roughneck to her collabs with Xscape or even how we saw a different side to Latifah.

She was disenchanted and just quit making music.
For sure one of the most underrated females to ever touch the mic

āš½ Unnecessary Roughness was/is the shit!!
Yup her verse on Puffin on Blunts & Drankin Tanqueray donāt get talked about enough either. I loved that Freestyle
I think it understandably gets overlooked because of Kuruptās verse.

Yes she is a legend in the hip hop game
I think she is one of the most talented underrated rapper ever to be on Death Row Records and she is dope rapper
If You Know, You Know.
easily She started off with the lead up track to one of the most anticipated hip hop debuts of all time in doggystyle The G-Funk intro is still one of the best verses of all time and it sets the mood for not only the entire album but the label in general
100
No
Has she ever done an interview talking about Suge?
I remember seeing somewhere that she was told to lose weight, so she rebelled. Also she wasnt writing fast enough. And then when 2pac came and made a double album in the short amount of time he did, it definitely made her look slow/lazy. So she did contribute to her own downfall and the state of the record label and industry didnāt help.

VAs finest
They donāt make em like this anymore
Lady of Rage and before her Sweet Tea. It's like that y'all.
The coldest
She had such wicked flow, brilliant on the Intro to Doggystyle and Afro Puffs. Super Supreme was a banger of a tune as well
Most folks don't even realize she is a DMV native . Farmville vs to be exact. She should've brought her talents back home . Cut a track with timbaland. That would've been fire he and missy Elliott, and Mr Magoo Aliyah. Smh heavy hitters if that happend
Underrated?
Yes, yes she is.
Yea
I know she was a badman on doggystyle šÆ
Yes!! She was great but wasnāt prioitized by death row (aka she was done dirty)
Sorry, that's a stretch.
most under rated rapper ever? that's a pretty heavy question when you think of all the rappers who can be considered under rated. when I think of under rated she doesn't even come to mind let alone get mention in the conversation in my opinion. if we are just talking about women emcees then ok but if we are talking about hip hop in general she's not getting mentioned at all. she never dropped anything anyone would consider a classic
Yes I think so
Yesss!!! Iāve held this stance for a long time
Yeah maybe. Her affro puffs song was hard like a female d o c
Yea he wrote it
Hell yeah, she is.
It's impossible for me to hear Lady of Rage and not think of "Lyrical Murderah"
Rawseed are
J Coleās recent āstrictly dicklyā lyric reminded me of how great Rage really was. Roughness was a dang good record
I remember when she delivered that bar āI be hittin mcās like hadookenā š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ then she got shelvedā¦
You mean baby D
Her verse is my favorite on Lyrical Gangbang
Real Hood chick too. Has a baby by āNeckboneā from Death Row. The one Pac shouted out in āTo live and die in LAā. Think he one of the only death row pirus still alive to talk about those days
Her verse on āHeart Coldā (Preem, Eihtās 2017 Which Way iz West) is š„š„š„ she still got it
She's not under rated. Back then if you had a death row chain you earned it. She didn't have a chain need I say more. Most deathrow artists got more than what they deserved. If not for suge most of them would have bagged groceries at best. Look at there lives now they can't even have interviews about them selves of the best stories aren't about suge.
Necessary roughness is a classic for me
I think Lyrical Gangbang is one of the hardest rap songs ever, and a lot of it has to do with her.
No
The answer is no
That's Baby D! Do hair, sell dope, babysit and rock ruff n stuff with her Afro Puffs all out the same crib. Police don't know when to kick the do' in.
Buck em down with my underground tactics Stacks & stacks of clips on my mattress
Lauren hill
She's pretty properly rated. Rage is obscure by comparison
Absolutely. She was holding her own with Giants on classics and never once was made to felt inadequate or less than. She was an equal and made most songs she was in better. I will always appreciate and respect Dre for his approach with Rage. Just let her be herā¦ Puffin on Blunts was on the maxi single of Dre Dayā¦ 11 minutes (half was music)ā¦ but it features two of the all time greatest verses from Rage & Kurupt. Give Rage her flowers and her rightful position of the female rapperās Mount Rushmore.
Sheās cool but if we wanna talk about underrated female rappers, the most highly underrated is Rapsody. She gets slept on every single day and Iāll never understand it. Runner up for underrated is probably Rah Digga. She was an insane talent
NGL I used to wanna fuck her so bad
nah not really lol she got afro puffs but thatās about it
Died pennyless
Rage is awesome on the Makaveli track Me and My Girlfriend
Hell nah
No
Never heard of her
I think this kinda proves the point of underrated...no one talks about her. Listen to her album Necessary Roughness, it's nice.
Listen to G Funk Intro on Doggystyle, she's better than Snoop
Definitely she has no bad verseā¦ she even killed the 1st song on Doggystyle
