Dirty Harriet [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
At Rah Digga's best, ripping lines on her single "Tight" or showering you with disrespect on "Straight Spittin', Part II," she recalls a young MC Lyte--before her lipstick and rouge phase--a street-smart tomboy with the right blend of talent and attitude to hold her own. It doesn't hurt that Digga's blessed with one helluva voice--a coarse, rough-hewn flow that's strong enough for a man, but made by a woman. Little wonder that she throws her lot in with the roughnecks, but wisely avoids most (though not all) of the standard thug clichés. Production--handled by an assortment of producers, including Busta Rhymes, DJ Premier, and Rockwilder--is consistently strong, especially on cuts like "Lessons of Today," "Tight," and even the crossover pitch "So Cool," with crooner Carl Thomas. Her time with the lackluster Flipmode Squad is best forgotten--let Digga stand on her own. --Oliver Wang

Decent debut.......2006-11-20

If you familiar with my reviews you may say I'm contradicting. Cause I'm more towards lyrics than production. But this album has some very bad beats, that its very hard to ignore. Some of the best songs with the dopest lyrics by a female since the days of MC Lyte and Bahamadia are dragged down cause of the beats. And a couple of filler songs. Rah digga was one of the best female rappers. Its a shame she hasn't dropped anything in awhile. Favorite tracks are Lessons of Today, Showdown, and Tight. Good rapper, bad production.

RAW DIGGA!.......2006-08-11

Rah digga is another one of hiphop's elite that we should never forget regardless of how lukewarm her singles that came after this album are. Standout tracks: Break Fool, Tight, What they call me, Do the ladies run this, lessons of today, curtains etc plus there are two bonus tracks on this cd that are great. Filler: F--k yall n---as and the skits are stupid as hell! Lesson of today(produced by DJ Premier) and What they call me(Produced by Pete Rock) should be remain on the minds of every hiphop head till the day they die! Rah digga gets my respect because she isnt a lowlife rap hooker like these other overhyped drama queens. She gave her all on this album and thats what you get. I would recommend this album to anybody.

"First and only female ummatched by anyone".......2006-04-06

In just 7 words, one of the closing lines of her hit w/ labelmate Busta Rhymes on "Imperial," Digga spits a line that tells a crucial truth to her rhymes. Rah Digga (First name Rayshia) hails from Jersey and gave the music industry a new breed (sound/flow/lyrical concept) of female.

By far the most distinguished voice in hip-hop (male or female), Rah Digga has a formula that is indescribable and undeniable, she proves that though her voice may not match the high (and sometimes annoying) pitches of her fellow female rapstars, her voice utters hardcore w/ every syllable she spits.

Digga chose Dirty harriet as the name of this classic compilation because like slave-icon Harriet Tubman, she plans to free people from a stand-still existence. Rah Digga does just that w/ widening mouthes, opening ears, and bring true hip-hop fans to their knees with this one.

I've notived that alot of reviewers of this album often comment on the production and how it doesn't suit a mainstream hip-hop artist. The world 'album' entails an engulfing of many different things, and if you know real hip-hop, you know that real hip-hop is based far more on lyrics than production.

I can't begin to compare to any female in the rap game because Digga stands solo on a plateau of her own. This rugged, thugged femcee is the true epitome of keeping it gangsta and I feel that she far underrated (Her music is even more pleasing than most of the males).

I've given this album 5 stars because of its originality, sadistic flow, endless creativity, and Rah Digga's authentic aura. Stand out tracks: Break Fool, Curtains, Imperial, Straight Spittin' Part II, F**k Ya'll N**gas, Do The ladies Run This, and of course, Harriet Thugman.

A Hip Hop Classic.......2006-01-14

Now I have heard a lot of people say that Rah Digga has sick lyrics but the production is all wrong so let me explain. If you're a mainstream commercial rap head then yes I guess to you the production would be terrible but if you know true hip hop then you give this album and it's production the respect it deserves. First if you don't know Digga's style that well you buy this thinking it will be commercial from the songs she released like Break Fool but it's not even close to commercial. The beats are hot but they also are the type of beats that make the artist step up their flow to that next level and Digga uses this perfectly. She to me was the top female artist when this album came out and she is way better than most of the guys. She does everything from telling stories to sick punchlines, which makes this a classic. Now one thing a lot of people always want to know is if the album is in your stereo system is the bass on point. Yes these beats might even break your speakers and it will most likely disturb every neighbor on your block.

Great lyrics, Not that good for production........2005-08-25

I would have to admit that Rah Digga can write really good rhymes. Although, the production is weak near the end of the album and most of the tracks are boring besides the singles.

Great tracks: "Tight," **** "Imperial,"**** & "Break Fool."

Average customer rating: Rah Digga's CD is the bomb!
