'Nature of a Sista' is the ONLY album that I've heard from Queen Latifah, but I have full intention of acquiring some of her other works from the 90's.her efforts, I believe, were quickly eclipsed with the amazingly violent professions of Dr. Dre, Snoop, Tha Dogg Pound, and on into The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac.and, of course, Wu-Tang Clan.
Nature of a Sista isn't the outstanding album Queen Latifah is quite capable of recording. But even so, it's a decent sophomore effort that has more strengths than weaknesses. The North Jersey native tends to spend too much time boasting about her microphone skills -- something that can wear thin in a hurry -- but there's no denying the fact that she has considerable technique. As on her first album, Latifah indicates that she could hold her own in a battle with just about any rapper, male or female. Where is bruno mars today. And the positive image she projects is certainly commendable. But as likeable as much of this album is, it's obvious that she is capable of a lot more. Artistically, Latifah is selling herself short.
