With an album title like Battle Of The Sexes, you'd probably expect Ludacris' collection of new tracks to be about confrontations between men and women. There's definitely some of that, but it's also a great platform for female rappers. On most of Sexes' tracks, a lady MC or singer squares off with Luda, including the likes of Trina, Nicki Minaj, Eve, Diamond, Monica and Shawnna.

With that in mind, we were curious about Ludacris' 10 favorite female MCs. Check out the list and videos from his favorite ladies of rhyme and tell us if you agree.

By the way, if you want a taste of Ludacris' Battle of the Sexes, check out his video for "My Chick Bad" featuring Nicki Minaj.

Remember when Biggie did "One More Chance?" Back in '95 it was the monster jam with Mary J. Blige and Biggie's wife-to-be Faith Evans on the hook. To match its monster-jamness, Biggie enlisted the man, Hype Williams, to direct the video, and called on a whole posse of talent to star. By the time the project wrapped, it included appearances by Heavy D, Da Brat, Jermaine Dupri, Queen Latifah, Tyson Beckford, Aaliyah, Diddy and TONS of others. The all-starred-ness of "One More Chance" was then pretty much unprecedented (unless you're a HUGE Chevy Chase fan).

Is it obvious yet what all this jibba jabba is leading up to? Let's just say it: Jamie Foxx went and made a video so fly, so celebbed out, that even Biggie, on his golden hip-hop throne up thur in the sky, can't touch it.

"Blame It," also directed by Hype Williams, includes performances by Ron Howard, Jake Gyllenhaal, T-Pain, Forest Whitaker, Samuel Jackson, Quincy Jones, Morris Chestnut, Tatyana Ali, Cedric The Entertainer, and more, making it officially the biggest video you ever even heard of. Sorry, Jared Leto. Sorry, Kanye. Thi$ i$ it.
