Thanks to Jay Gabler for bringing in this week’s Rock & Roll Book Club selection - Clover Hope's 'The Motherlode: 100+ Women Who Made Hip-Hop'.

Jay says, “Nearly a half-century after the invention of hip-hop, women are still sadly far from getting their due recognition. Google ‘hip-hop artists’ and the entire line of artists stretching across the top of your screen will be male - despite the fact that women are ruling the game right now.”

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear from the women who made hip-hop?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
