While Queen Latifah may be better known as an actor in 2023, her mark on hip-hop deserves its moment on screen. The MC made her big break in music in 1989 with her debut album "All Hail the Queen," which featured her hit single "Ladies First." It was a preview of what would become a catalog of music overflowing with feminist themes, including songs like "U.N.I.T.Y." Latifah is deservedly lauded as a rapper who paved the way for women in rap. But don't let her feel-good, girl-power story make you think her biopic would be an after-school special. Just like many high-profile MCs, Latifah has partaken in feuds and released scathing diss tracks at various points in her career, so there would be no shortage of material when her life story hits the big screen.
