FSD: Speaking of Chicago female rappers, do you think you and the other females need to be more unified to have a bigger voice in the Chicago scene?
Chella H: I rock with other females. I got shit that I’ve done with Shawnna. Last night Sasha (Sasha Go Hard), and Katie (Katie Got Bandz), and myself were just in the studio. Shout out to them — they’re from my end, so that makes me even happier.
FSD: So you rock with everybody but Barbie’s? [Laughs]
Chella H: I even rock with Barbie’s [Laughs]. I love Nicki Minaj too. I just keep it 100, and that’s one thing people know about me. I don’t really worry about what anybody says. I understand that everybody grew up in different ways. Some people might get my music and be like, “This bitch crazy.” Bitches that rock with me though, they feel the same way.
My goal is to reach all the bitches like me everywhere. I don’t try to put the energy into convincing, I ride out with people that rock with me. Shout out to all the high class hood rats.
FSD: In hip-hop history, we’ve seen that most of the successful female rappers have been under the wing of a popular male rapper: Biggie and Lil Kim. Nicki and Lil Wayne. Foxy and Jay-Z. Do you feel like that is a necessity for you to blow on a national level?
Chella H: You know what, that is so true. Research shows that it hasn’t been any females to put on without a dude. There is some, but they so popped right now that I don’t even want to mention they name.
FSD: You might as well [Laughs]
Chella H: Like Khia, Ebony Eyez
FSD: I haven’t heard from Ebony Eyez in so long.
Chella H: It ain’t no diss to them. I’m just stating the facts. It’s no females that popped, really. Queen Pen kind of, but she kind of came in with the Teddy Riley thing. It is a plus, but with me if I bump into somebody that it’s a plus to, then I’ll do it. It’s not mandatory though.
FSD: I’ve noticed that all of the female rappers that blew didn’t have their own movement prior to linking up with a big co-sign. I know that you are making a name for yourself with no major affiliates, so I can see you having an edge.
Chella H: Real bitch America

interesting…
Chella tha realest bitch in this shit and she hold ha city dwn she my favorite female rapper s/o 2 FSD 4 reaching out LOWEND krazy…B.O.P
Chella weak as he’ll OMS, she need 2 give it up. The game for them hoes that’s 25 & under
we fuck woth Chellz she keep it 100 & I aint go lie at first i want feelin u but u be making them bangers in real life yo u put on for the streets no chick can fuck wit Chella they aint been threw nothing like her and we rootin for you all the way from the wild 100’s
what school did you goto? i would like to know so i can tell everyone i know NOT to send their children to it!
First let me start by saying I like Chella! I like her look, I like her endurance, she been around for a while. With that said her rap skills are the worse. I find myself embarrassed when I’m listening to her songs! Now be clear this is not a diss, it’s more like a recommendation. Maybe she should get herself a ghostwriter and work on a better delivery. It’s the delivery that’s wack as hell. Next thing that bothers me is, I remember chella before the new teeth. She was pure dope then, straight gutter, well ain’t much changed except new veneers. Just cuz u from the low don’t mean u have to stay low. Again this is not a diss, but you 40 years old and still rappin bout the hood. The market has evolved, it’s okay for u to evolve also Chella. And the Michella Obama reference is disrespectful and stupid! How u boosting and beating bitches up, then u the presidents wife. Cella your ignorance and insistence on remaining ghetto is holding you back. I’m telling you because the people around you know you’re to sensitive to hear it from them. Again, this is not a diss, I just wanna see a better u!
I agree with you 100%. Just to add on to this comment, I respect Chella’s hustle. But I feel that the hustle doesn’t match up with the music. Her production & beat selection are usually decent but its not enough to hide those elementary bars & hooks. If her delivery was better then maybe she could get away with it but she is lacking in this area also. I have nothing against older rappers either, but your skills have to match up, which hers doesn’t
As far as the image she portrays, I feel as if she needs to grow up a little bit. She wants to display the “hood bitch” image so bad that it makes her seem ignorant to a certain degree. Its ok that Chella reps the hood but reading her replies in this interview shows that she can’t even hold an intelligent convo without cursing and being overly “ghetto”. What label is going to invest in somebody like her?! She has no main stream appeal, especially with the type of music she makes.
Then how dare she call herself “Michella Obama”. Michelle Obama is a woman of class & dignity, everything Chella is not. If she wants to display a negative image of herself then thats fine but don’t bring the presidents wife into this. That right there showed me how ignorant she was.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t wish bad upon Chella’s rap career. I just hope she realizes that she can grow up as an artist. Its ok to get help and assistance, and its never to late to change things up. Hope she realizes that its ok to expand her music catalogue to a variation of styles and sounds. Her claim that she has ghostwritten for artists makes me laugh because she is not a good writer at all. I hope she gets someone to help her with her writing and her communication skills. Since she is older in age, its now or never for her. She either gets it together now or its never going to happen for her.
40s J-LO to others are looking better than mid 20s ANY DAY including mi sis i am 20 ish she was born 70s look great and always will,lif is too short to mention age n shit,but my prob is she can’t flow,as a real mujer en vida should,perod. real ladies from 18 and UP . should want to sing,nd rap about other things than high,smoke that IMO stink a chick up period. wack,and i think also she is OK not gorgeous sorry and but look nice for her age forties, age is just a # but also plz do not rap or mention MICHELL .OBAMAS are classy people sorry. and YOUR just a wanna be nikki minaj, whose in her 30s and SUCK period… your already a failure to me and ma peeps,because you should rap about other things, not the same nickel n dime sh-t.

SO, she “doesn’t give a fuck how bitches feel”? IF her ghetto ass is referring to the entire gender, just who the fuck does she THINK is going to buy/rock her music?? certainly not men, maybe Chi men that know her, but other than that, can’t see straight men bopping to “poke it out”. i see why she hasn’t been picked up yet. she’s a mess!
Bitch this,and high that. SMH WACK, and i agree on the fact why say don’t care wat bitches say, hood this hood tha,t oh lawd, SMH just do somethin DIFF, damn i iss the 90s REAL HIP HOP REAL WOMEN REIGN, when i was in high school. and age has no factor my sis as i said above STILL bangin at 40’s! and look late 20s shout out to sis Nikki my older sisters bangin,and healthy focus in life,but do not walk around talkin bout getti high,drinkin or where ma nigga up LMFAO plz RAP ABOUT SOMETHIN else so much GOOD things to write about,then again i m hearing CHELLA do not write! and what about the black brothers,and ma latinos being kill 1 by 1 week by week or month by month in krazy hood of chicago,i would respect any women 18 or 40s who are talented yes i said TALENTED ENOUGH TO REALIZE, such type of music is a original,and not th same high shit, or chella talking bout the same shit nikki and other WACK fake ass females talk about. do not bring up also Michelle Obama is a tall lovely strong blk indepndent class act. REAL WOMAN CHELLA.until your changin up your stupid “rap”lyrics, your not one.adios 1 just a follower. peace 1
