From hardcore female MC to an entertainment icon, the "Queen" is the epitome of #MsLMstatus. From the beginning of her music career she let us know that if you were called her a bitch you would get "punch dead in your eye" on her first hit single "U.N.I.T.Y.". She helped pioneer a Hip Hop sound that is used by many MCs today both male and female. Her abililty to kick hot, heartfelt lyrics and sing on a track was helping her sell millions of records way before Nelly came along. In true #MsLM status form she capitalized on her success as a rapper and after her second single "Just Another Day" the Queen began her takeover in Hollywood. She is now an executive producer, director and actress with a Golden Globe award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, two Image Awards, a Grammy Award, six additional Grammy nominations, an Emmy Award nomination and an Academy Award nomination. Queen Latifah came in the game demanding respect as a black woman and has set an example for many people aspiring to reach their dreams in music, entertainment but more importantly life and philanthropy.
