	7:49pm Billy Jam: obviously this is a subjective selection and am leaving out many of the popular on the radar rappers that get tons of exposure already - which is part of why am skipping most of them in favor of focusing on femcees who might only get 456 YouTube views to a Cardi B 45 million views - also some of the more pop female rappers are oversexualized and under lyrical skilled (not all but some) -
