Mr. Speaker, throughout the years, artists such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Springsteen have been recognized on the floor of the House of Representatives. Today I rise to honor the top 10 female MC hip-hop collaborations of all time. Number 10: Eve, ``My Chick Bad remix.'' Number 9: Monie Love, ``My Buddy.'' Number 8: Missy Elliott, ``Hot Boyz remix.'' Number 7: Remy Ma, ``Ante Up remix.'' Number 6: Lauryn Hill, ``Ready or Not.'' Number 5: Nicki Minaj, ``Up All Night.'' Number 4: Da Brat, ``Da B Side.'' Number 3: Lady of Rage, ``G Funk Intro.'' Number 2: Fox Boogie Brown, ``Ain't No.'' Number 1: Representing BK to the fullest, Lil' Kim, ``Quiet Storm remix.'' These extraordinary MCs, along with legendary pioneers such as Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and Salt-N-Pepa, shattered hip-hop's glass ceiling with their skill, talent, and lyrical ability. As we celebrate Women's History Month here in the United States Congress, these dynamic women are worthy to be praised. ____________________
