* JazzRap: Like the rest of the Native Tongues, Latifiah's first three albums were heavily drenched in jazz samples and influence. She'd drop the rapping after the turn of the millennium, and recorded straight jazz standards for her next two.

** "Name Callin'" was allegedly a [[StealthInsult subliminal diss]] towards Foxy Brown. A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nGXdqOoBiY Part 2]] was recorded after Brown released a homophobic diss towards Latifah in response to the first. [[note]]Latifah's sexuality has been questioned since at least the late '90s, though she would finally come in 2021.[[/note]]
