Hoodrats are either lovable or colorful weave-loving birds without sense or edges. Either way, they’re always entertaining (especially on TV) and fueled the most underrated music sub-genre ever: Hoodrat R&B.

Mary J. Blige “My Life”

Before she SANG crispy chicken carols in Burger King, she was the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul worshipped by an entire generation of thug love-scorned hood chicks.[bossip_ad_a]

Keyshia Cole “The Way It Is”

Say what you want about the squawky R&B bird, she was the face of Section 8 Soul who put her everything—heart, soul and two-toned weave—into this undeniable debut. [bossip_ad_a]

Destiny’s Child “The Writing’s on the Wall”

It’s easily DC’s best album that showcased Beyonce’s finest hoodrat moments. “Pay my AUTOMOBILLLLLLS?” Yea…that happened. [bossip_ad_a]
