The most popular female rappers of the 1990s have all suffered throughout the 2000s. Now it's the 2010s and some female rappers haven't released albums since the early 2000s.
All of these women have been in limbo since the mid-2000s and have spent at least the past 4/5 years recording albums that may never see the light of day.
But who has the best shot at releasing an album? And who has the best shot at making the biggest comeback?
Black Roses by Foxy Brown
Last Released Album: "Broken Silence", released in 2001 (10 years ago)
Debuted at #5 selling 123,000 copies in its first week, selling over 630,000 total in the US.
Last Album: Either "Ill Na Na 2: The Fever" or "Brooklyn's Don Diva". "Ill Na Na 2: The Fever" was shelved in 2003 but the 2008 street album "Brooklyn's Don Diva", which was referred to as an officially released album by her label, was confusingly disowned by Brown.
History: "Black Roses" has been in production since late 2004 and has been re-recorded several times under different record labels. According to Foxy Brown, the album will be a double album released late in 2011. Her record label situation is iffy.
Block Party by Missy Elliot
Last Released Album: "The Cookbook", released in 2005 (6 years ago)
Debuted at #2 selling 176,000 copies in its first week, selling over 645,000 copies total in the US.
History: "Block Party" was set for a December 2007 release but has suffered several delays since. The singles "Ching-a-Ling", "Shake Your Pom Pom", and "Best, Best" were originally singles from the album but failed to take off on the charts. Missy Elliot has since become ill and the album remains in limbo.
Untitled by Lil' Kim
Last Album Released: "The Naked Truth", released in 2005 (6 years ago)
Debuted at #6 selling 108,000 copies in its first week and has sold over 400,000 copies in the United States.
History: After being release from prison, Lil' Kim left Atlantic Records to sign an indie deal with production duo Trackmasters which resulted in a shelved album. After a stint on "Dancing with the Stars", Lil' Kim has been recording ever since with failed promises to release various singles as well as the new album. There is no release date, there is no album title, or record deal signed at the moment.
Lip Lock by Eve
Last Album Released: "Eve-Olution", released in 2002 (9 years ago)
Debuted at #6 selling 122,000 copies in its first week and has sold over 630,000 copies in the United States.
Last Album: "Here I Am", originally set to be released in 2007. After the single "Tambourine" became and moderate hit and the follow-up "Give It To You" flopped, Interscope delayed the album indefinitely and eventually Eve and the label parted ways. Since then, she has been working on the album, newly titled "Lip Lock", and landed a record deal with EMI. Although the album was set to be released in March 2011, there has been no word on its official release.

missy no doubt in my mind
-
Eve or Missy
-
Actually Eve and Missy seem like they would go together great on some dope party tracks. Don't nobody wanna hear Foxy and Kim rap about gangsta ? they ain't did no more. 40 year old women not having no fun whatsoever.
-
Missy because she has the largest fanbase and was the last one out of all of them to go Gold.
Her health is the biggest issue in her success.
I guess Cham dosent think Da Brat has a chance at a comeback. -
Missy and Nicki still sucks
-
How long until Remi gets out?
-
I say Missy out of all of them. I'm not total convinced nor sold on Eve making a return she been in Hollywood too long. Foxy and Kim needs to go sit down somewhere. Foxy ain't put nothing out in over a decade and Kim been beefing with Nikki for over a year now in that time she doesn't have a label deal and she hasn't even tried to put an album together.
