Wanna know what's awesome? When ladies in the music industry decide to collaborate. It almost always yields better fruit than something that involves a dude. (4 women did "Lady Marmalade" and 3 men did "Blurred Lines" I feel like that is explanation enough.) So here's some jams where ladies are doing it big and doing it together. That last one is a bonus track and (mostly) a joke, since Nicki did indeed collaborate with guys on it, but she stole the show with the greatest verse of the last decade, and it belongs on every playlist anyway.
