Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars I USED TO HATE HER, BUT AFTER HEARING THIS: SHE'S "TIGHT"!, April 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dirty Harriet (Audio CD)

When I first heard Rah Digga on the Fugees album with L. Hill, I thought she was okay. When she joined the Flipmode squad, I started to hate her voice. Plus I didn't think she could flow. When I heard that she had a solo joint coming out, I didn't even think about buying it. I knew the beats would be tight, but I hated her voice. After I heard the song "Tight", I was mad surprised. For some reason I bought the album and I've been thumpin this joint ever since. R.I.P Pun, but Digga's album is much better than Big Pun's last joint. Every song on Digga's album is well produced. This is true hip hop. This is the best female rap album EVER! Lil' Kim better come raw, cause if she doesn't, Rah Digga WILL TAKE HER CROWN! Eve is tight too, but Digga is so much harder. Her lyrics are so on point. Her lyrics are raw, clever, and obviously well thought out. Even if you still can't feel her voice or her flow, the beats make up for it. I hate to say it, but her album is better than any other Flipmode release yet. Yes that includes Busta Rymes. Just listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just the Best Female MC but One of the Best MCees Period, April 6, 2001

I was hesitant on buying this album since I didn't like anything from the Flipmode Squad, not even Busta. But I decided to cop it cause I heard so many good things about it. And I have to say Dirty Harriet has to be one of the best hip hop albums ever. The beats are some of the illest I've ever heard. Digga has the best flow I've heard from any MC be it man or woman, and her voice is amazing. She is definitely the best female rapper, Eve doesn't even hold a candle to Ms. Thugman. The best songs are Curtains, Tight, and What They Call Me. But believe me every single song on this cd is of the hook. This is one of the few cds I have that I can listen to all the way through and love every minute of it.

The woman says she is tighter than "3 or more heads in a CRX." I cannot find any reason to argue with that -- that says it all.
