For those of you that are hip-hop heads this is a must see video interview with Sheri-Sher who discusses her experience with being a female MC back in the day (late 70's and early 80's). There is a book out about Sheri-Sher, the Mercedes ladies, hip-hop and the Bronx called Mercedes Ladies. They were the first ever all female hip-hop crew.

There is also a part 2 after the jump. In part 2 she gets into why they chose not to be overly sexual, but rather focus on their lyrical abilities and a little about how and why they were generally ignored by the larger hip-hop community. I recommend watching both parts. Apologies for not having a transcript.
