Photographers: Bart Everly; Jane Wexler. Unknown Contributor Role: Christopher Shaw . Emerging from East Orange, NJ in the days when hip-hop gear meant kente cloth & afrika medallions aand fellow Native Tongues were achieving cross-over success on "Yo! MTV Raps" (guest appearances from De La Soul & Monie Love show a strong Native Tongues connection which eventually faded as the Queen placed more focus on developing her own Flavor Unit posse), Latifah added a more explicit afro-centric edge to the common sense feminism pioneered by MC Lyte and Roxanne Shante. She also added a more eclectic cross-section of sounds to their palette of samples. After briefly providing beat-box for the all-girl crew Ladies Fresh, she made her name as a solo artist with the reggae hook of "Wrath of My Madness" in 1988. While overall her debut LP relies on the sounds of break-beat legend Mark The 45 King, exceptions to the rule include a harder edged track contributed by KRS-ONE ("Evil That Men Do"), heavy rockers-style reggae laced by Daddy-O of Stetsasonic ("The Pros"), and a token house track ("Come Into My House"). Occasionally dated, ALL HAIL THE QUEEN nevertheless contains enough gems ("Latifah's Law," "Ladies First," "Wrath Of My Madness") to stand alongside any classic LP of its era.
