Azealia Banks - Azealia Banks reps Harlemworld to the fullest and is the best export that the city within a city has had since Dipset.

It'll be interesting to see what this young femcee turns out on her debut album, but it's clear that she won't disappoint. (Photo: Jim Dyson/Redferns via Getty Images)

Left Eye - Female R&B groups have always been around, but when TLC emerged with two vocalists and an edgy rapper with quick lyrics and an unmistakable cadance, Left Eye became a star and an inspiration to women that love hip hop. Unfortunately, the femcee passed due a tragic accident that happened a decade ago, but her memorable lyrics will live forever and her contribution to hip hop will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Left Eye.

Missy Elliott - What can you say about Missy Elliott? She's won a ton of Grammy Awards and managed to stay fresh for nearly two decades. Her visual representations of her music videos have always been out of this world and extremely progressive, her rhymes have always been sick and the fact that she can sing her tail off makes her even more of an O.G. All hail queen Missy! (Photo: Rick Diamond/Getty Images for BET)
