The Conscious Daughters, who emerged in the socially aware, Afrocentric milieu of early-'90s Bay Area hip-hop, were a female rap duo from Oakland consisting of Carla Green and Karryl Smith. Ultra-political, militant hip-hopper Paris championed the pair early on and helmed their 1993 debut, Ear to the Street, producing and writing all of the tracks and (along with engineer Eric Valentine) playing on them as well. The themes echoed the "thug-life" sentiments of much of the West Coast hip-hop at the time, employing a distinctly women's perspective (particularly on tracks such as "Princess of Poetry," "Wife of a Gangsta," and "Crazybitchmadness").

  • @TornadoWarning Maybe we find out more i just had checked the video a day ago and people was talking like some one was dead . And it was her i checked the video a week ago and everthing was good . But so sad how shit happens out of no where u never know. I think it was her health i did not hear she was killed at all.

  • @217champion Not totally sure. I know it was a sudden, unexpected death. May have been health related, but she looked great. I'm puzzled. I just found out about it last night. I usually watch this video a few times a year and when I saw all of the condolences I nearly fell out of my chair. So sad!
