Latto has recently unveiled her choice for the title of the greatest female rapper of all time.
Appearing on Complex’s GOAT Talk for a new episode published on Tuesday (August 13), the Sugar Honey Iced Tea rapper and her sister Brooklyn Nikole named their picks for greatest of all time in a variety of categories, including rap.

For Brooklyn, the answer was easy: “I’m not even gon’ lie, I have to say you. Not even being biased. I listen to you the most. You be on my top.”
“The GOAT is Lil’ Kim, for sure,” Latto replied. “Fashion icon, timeless music, timeless looks, gon’ forever be a staple, in not only rap, but female rap.

“And she the GOAT because she is a queen for real. Like off camera, she a queen… I love her, and she ‘Big Mama,’ too. It’s just a Big Mama thang.”
As for Joe Budden, he’s placing Latto over Doja Cat when it comes to ranking women in rap music.
On an episode of Budden’s eponymous podcast that dropped on Saturday (August 11), the New Jersey native gave Latto her flowers as he discussed her new album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea.

“First of all, Latto is one of the women that I support,” he said. “So I purchased this without listening to it at all. I have not gotten through the entire thing, but I went through the samples and I heard what I needed to hear.”
He added “Latto is ill,” and then went on to list his top three female rappers, starting with Nicki Minaj at No. 1.
“Nicki is number one for me, I might have to have [Latto] at number two. I think Latto will give Doja… [Doja] can’t rap like that. She may be a bigger artist, and a more well-rounded artist, but if I’m just talking about rapping, Doja can pack it up if Latto walk in the studio with her notebook.”
He then mentioned Cardi B, but didn’t go much further – likely in part due to their recent smoke.

“I love Cardi, but I mean there’s the rumors, so I’ll leave that alone. Latto is confirmed that to be her thing. She really loves Hip Hop, she’s one of those girls.”
