hahahaha i dont think she was any of M.E.'s videos...lol i think your thinking of :


pic creds: yahoo search.
Alyson Stoner 9yr old dancer/actor who's also on Disney's Mikes Super Short Show

...hahaha but i can see how you got them confused..they do look alike! maybe L.S. could use her in one of her videos as a little sister or as a when i was younger concept! lol

[dream_weaver]

she has a tune with the ordinary boys: 9-5. thats alright. although shes hated in england. she and lily allen are perfect examples of what a chav looks like-according to heat mag anyway lol. i personally dont think is that talented seeing as she is a walking gimmick, there are plenty female white, MC's in london who would merk her ass.

i dont think she's untalented..i think her style is rather unique..cuz not many american female MCs rhyme like that....they all try to sound like dudes imo....white or not...cuz skin color really doesnt factor in when talent is being judged.

yeah she may be a bit gimmicky, but i mean come on..she's still a little kid! >only 19!!< of course she's gonna be a bit silly...


btw, why is she hated in England?

[Myss Blewm]

I think Lady Sovereign has great talent, and she's so tiny and cute. LOL Her songs are really catchy and hard to get out of your head, though it took awhile for her music to grow onto me.

[backseat_love]

oh ive been her fan since the beginning. her songs are just so catchy you gotta love them. but yea i have a feeling shes gonna make it big in the us. if not, eff you america. no jk. but yea, shes great.

[G-Nitro]

I'm going to see her perform at the 9:30 club in D.C on Oct 28th. Can't wait!

Hmm, if u got to hear any other british female MC's you'd hear the sound that Sovereign ripped off various artists. she is not original, she only started mcing a couple of years ago. Also in england 19 is not young. we leave school at 16 and are adults by then.

Also the reason why she is gimmicky simply is because she is white, short and cute. believe it or not. if you were to study the UK grime scene (thats where shes supposedly from) she isnt respected at all, shes not hated on, just not respected because she wouldnt participate in any clashes or do any freestyles or really participate in the underground scene-i mean she used to move with a few crews around my area but as soon as she got recognition she left them behind-(although there is nothing wrong with moving forward). Compared to the vast amount of talent we have in the UK, for instance lady fury, even shystie although she is annoying- is better than her but because they didnt fit this perfect little mould that sovereign did they werent allowed to move forward. so from that ppl just saw it as a slap in the face. and In the UK race does play a big factor when it comes to music. if u think im joking look up artists like kano, so solid. and then see how artists like Plan B, and skinnyman are NOT promoted even though they are some of the sickest lyricists and MC's out there. The dislike people have for her here is shown in her non-sucess over here. The english hate her.

if u wanna check out more of the garage scene check http://www.rwdmag.com/

its the main magazine for garage and uk hip hop etc. mostly 'urban' music (god i hate that word) nah im not hating on sovereign cos i did like 9-5. But its just unfair when there are more talented ppl out there. its like Paris hilton putting out a record-just wrong. sry just my opinion.

[IMAJynXed1]

She's got nothing on M.I.A.

but i guess shes more marketable...she aint bad...shes cute...like Sporty spice...

hmm...now i see...thanks for the link

i think i get it...she's kinda like..a um...Lady Luck vs Remy Martin(LS would be the Remy of the situation)...both MCs have talent(and the former may have more..), but since one doesnt fit the mold of what a female MC is supposed to look like that one doesnt get recognized by mainstream..only in the hood?

hmm..

thats a really good comparison. yea those other ones only get noticed 'on road' thats our equivalent to 'the hood' (on road, meaning anywhere outside jail).

[Myss Blewm]

Hey, this magazine had this article about how female rappers aren't getting as many sales or recognition as they used to just a few years back. And it got me thinking, why is that? But if Lady Sovereign makes it big you know, I hope it does that flip reverse thing. I'm not too big of a hip-hop/rap fan anymore, but I mean...even in the rap industry there needs to be more girl power. LOL

[MUXU]

'love me or hate me' is very addictive
anyone else got hooked?

the video for this song is awsome..haha
