"You could go from Queens to the world, male or female. She did it as a female, but she took Queens to the entire world," Heavy Hitters and Hot 97 DJ Sharad said.

"Prodigy, Mobb Deep, when their song ‘Shook Ones’ came out, that's when Queens got respect," G-Unit's Tony Yayo said of the duo's impact. "When Mobb Deep dropped ‘Shook Ones,’ and Nas dropped ‘Illmatic,' it was over."Women have come along way since the early days of hip-hop.
