Meet Hip Hop Pioneer Sherri-Sher of Mercedes Ladies

[kdickson2000]

After reading her book, and reading about their struggle, you realize Female rappers today, have nothing to complain about. Female rappers today may not get legit record deals, contracts, and promotion but, they have mixtapes, internet, and other several other outlets to het their music out. Mercedes Ladies nothing but park jams and live shows. Everyone should read this book.

@djflame1202 Wow! Thumbs up to Mercedes Ladies! This is too funny! My crew held this name [Mercedes Ladies] down in the D [Detroit]...had No Clue someone else had the name...Wow!...Just so happen to stumble upon page as I am researching...preparing to get [my] story out...in mission to stop child abuse and human trafficking. Wow! Mercedes Ladies was a shining moment in my life...the other ones. Lol. I came on the tailend of conversation I know...but...keep it 100 Dave...as my little cousin says.

The two female rappers opening the video are definately Lady Sweet and LaSpank from Inner City Disco.

[mssultree1]

Firstly, I was looking for a video from Chuck Chillout and then a page openned up and I saw Sherri. I was like wow. .. havent seen t;hat face in over 30 yrs but then I clicked AND HEARD M\E RAPPING..LADYSWEET.. and then read DJFlame1202's responses and realized she was was LaSpank... one of my partners. Please realized, its only the truth that needs to be posted. I agree with the LaSpank/DJFlame's comments 1,000 percent. Dont fake the funk. That was me rapping! BE REAL DAVE PLEASE PLEASE

[djflame1202]

I've spoken with RD Smiley, Baby D and Lil Bit/Tracey T (Core Founders of the Mercedes Ladies) are aware of this tape and that for YEARS it was misrepresented as the Mercedes Ladies!

They have given me permission to claim what is rightfully mine and Lady Sweet's. If you listen to the rest of the tape it will say our names LaSpank and Lady Sweet. We are at a rehearsal with DJ Prince of the Erotic Disco Brothers which at the time we were apart of. The T Connection side where I was house DJ/MC

[mssultree1]

I found this site by mistake. I was a female pioneer as well as the mercedes ladies... (I even enjoyed my timespan rapping with "LaSpank." I AM LADYSWEET FROM INNER CITY WITH POP, KID HOLLYWOOD, JOHNNY JAY (whose name I say in the rhymes), DJ DEO, QUENNY QUEN, LASPANK, HI-C, LADY SWEET AND LIL TEE! DjFlame is correct in asked for recognition. thiat is not the mericedes ladies playing in the introduction above but LaSpank and myself, LadySweet. G, this is God's doing. lets get in touch!

[celiabroadus]

@mssultree1 How are you Sweet? This is Hi C!!!! I came another mix up between the two groups. To be cont....

[djflame1202]

Davey,

I Love and Respect what you do and all I want is true recognition to be appropriately placed. We talked about it and I waited for you to give proper credits to the MC's one of which is me. But, it still remains creating the illusion that what you have posted here is Sherri-Sher's voice. But it is not! PLEASE do the right thing Davey! I've been told that I am always a Mercedes Lady and I embrace that, but it does not erase the history timeline. I was no longer performing w them on this

[celiabroadus]

@djflame1202 Spank if this you, this is Celia formerly Hi C from ICD!!! This is crazy that after all these years they still get it wrong! Get yours

Peace

[djflame1202]

Davey D,

Now that we are in a New Year. I have to address this!!

I spoke with you when you first posted this interview about the intro music playing was NOT the Mercedes Ladies!!

We owe it to the History and the owner's voices to depict the TRUE origin of this tape.

THIS TAPE HAS BEEN MARKETED AS MERCEDES LADIES AND SOLD WORLDWIDE!!! NOT TRUE

The voice that opens is MC Lady Sweet formally of the Inner City Disco Crew and DJ/MC LaSpank formally of the Mercedes Ladies and ICD.

Much Respect! We need more grounding like this. Love little video footage too. It was never all good, but things used to be a lot more pure and positive.
