Georgia Mae's Femcee Tournament: Round 1, Part 1

It's that time of year - the entire country has been infected by March Madness. Everybody loves a good tournament and here at GeorgiaMae we're ready for a little hip-hop bracketology.


Over the next few weeks, 32 of hip hop's most talented (and notorious) female rappers will wage war for the title of Top Femcee.


Who will wear the ice-encrusted tiara? That's up to you.


To the right of this blog you'll find polls. Simply vote for who you think is the better artist. Before we start, a few house rules:


- Vote for who you feel is the better artist, not necessarily your favorite artist.


- If you're unfamiliar with an artist or just can't remember a person (trust me, we go waaaay back for some of these ladies), simply click the links I've provided below for a refresher. Try not to shortchange anybody.


- Please don't stuff the ballot box. For you computer hackers out there, have some integrity. If Queen Pen miraculously gets 200,000,000 votes out of nowhere I'll call foul.


- Have fun! Spread the word and invite your friends to check us out. Voting for this round ends Friday at 9 p.m. EST.
