After rubbing shoulders with the likes of 90’s New York hip-hop elites like Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, the New Jersey rapper dropped her debut album Dirty Harriet in 2000. Rah Digga is cut from the cloth of golden age hip hop. Rah Diggaĭiscography: Dirty Harriet (2000), Classic (2010) More relevant now than ever, the rapper’s 2018 album Everything is Fine‘ was one of her most successful and proved that her lyrical talents haven’t skipped a beat for the past 20 years. Old-school boom-baps and breakbeats meet cool jazz vibes. She pairs her impressive freestyles with a distinctly NYC sound. With a verbose lyrical flow and strong feminist message, Jean Grae has been a defining force in hip-hop and a female icon in the genre. Both a skilled emcee and a groundbreaking producer, the classically trained musician brings a depth of musical and lyrical sophistication not often heard in popular music. Jean Grae has reigned as a leader of the East Coast underground scene since her 2002 debut Attack of Attacking Things.

She has done so through sheer artistic curiosity and fearless creativity.įrom her early days as the Ruff Ryders’ “First Lady” to her trading bars with Black Thought on the Grammy Award-winning “You Got Me” to her global smash hit, the Dre-produced “Let Me Blow Ya Mind”, Eve has kept her finger on the pulse of every phase of hip hophip-hop.

Underrated, yes, but absolutely one of the best female rappers of all time. With her old-school freestyle attack and effortless Afro-queen funk she made her mark on dozens of collaborations with legends of rap like Dre, Snoop, Gang Starr, MC Lyte and Salt-n-Pepa. Dre in the early 90’s who was impressed by her ability to lay down hard, rapid-fire freestyle rhymes and switch it up with soulful R&B melodies.Īlthough the LA MC has released only one solo album, she has inspired generations of female rappers. ![]() The Lady Of RageĬoming up at the height of DeathRow’s records’ reign over West Coast rap, The Lady Of Rage held her own alongside some of hip-hop’s luminaries – just peep her slinging bars right next to Kurupt and RBX on “Lyrical Gangbang” or stealing the show on “For All My Ni**az & Bitches.” She came under the wing of Dr. So to shout-out all of the dope female MCs who have stood toe-to-toe with their male counterparts (and at many times have out-rapped), we put together this list especially dedicated to them.įrom the old school pioneers like MC Lyte and Queen Latifah, to modern day rap queens like Rapsody and Nicki Minaj, here are the 15 best female rappers of all time. To be fair on our part, putting together such a list is tough no matter what angle you look at it, especially with the depth and breadth of talent through hip hop history.

Considering this only happens a handful of days each year for a few hours at a time, these solutions are both costly and wasteful.Ĭommunity Energy Savings encourages individuals to band together to reduce energy consumption in their neighborhood. In order to handle this high amount of activity, utilities may need to bring additional power plants online or purchase energy from less environmentally friendly sources to ensure they have enough supply. For example, during a heatwave when everyone in a community is using their air conditioning at once, this puts a major strain on the capacity of the electrical grid. An offer from your utility will appear on the screen, including the incentive and the program terms and conditions. In the eco+ menu, enable the Community Energy Savings feature and select your utility. High energy demand happens when there’s an imbalance between energy supply and demand. If you have eco+, select it from the main menu. By having Community Energy Savings work behind the scenes to shift energy consumption patterns during high-demand periods, we’re able to have a profound impact on delivering clean, affordable energy for all.

Why is advertising on Facebook more expensive in 2021? We tracked our ad spend in the same quarter last year, and the prices are much different compared to today.īelow, you’ll see an average CPC of £0.19 and a CPM of £2.15. Nothing in Facebook advertising stays static, certainly not the prices. While at the bottom of the funnel, cost-per-install is much more important as your ads here emphasise conversion. For example, CPC and cost-per-like are important for ToFu or MoFu prospects. The importance of each metric changes depending on the funnel. We’ve found that driving traffic through impressions and reach objectives come with the highest cost. Focusing on the wrong goal may lead to your ads costing more than they should. The stage of the funnel that your potential customer is in should determine your campaign objective. As you go further down the funnel, the audience size decreases, but they’re more likely to buy, so advertising to them is more expensive. Naturally, the top of the funnel has the most people. Mainly due to the size of the audience at each stage. ![]() Why is there a difference between CPMs and CPC at each stage of the Facebook Ad funnel?Ī few factors. That’s because the ads here are much more likely to convert into a sale, making them much more valuable. While the total ad spend here is low, the average CPC and CPM costs are much higher than the other stages. The prospects targeted here are product page visitors and those who have added items to their cart but not yet purchased them. This is the last stage of the funnel, prospects here are very warm, and as such, the focus of the ads is on conversion and retention. The total ad spend falls because we’re now targeting a smaller number of people. We show them why we’re unique, emphasise the benefits and let them know why they should buy from us.Īs expected, the average costs begin to rise, not by too much, however. These are low intent website visitors or prospects who have engaged with our Facebook or Instagram content.Īds here are essentially nurturing those leads and further warming them up to us. As such, you’ll spend the bulk of your ad budget here. However, these ads are vital as they target a large pool of prospects, sending a number of them further down the funnel where they’ll become paying customers. That’s because prospects are less likely to buy at this stage, so the ad placements aren’t as valuable. You’ll notice that the average CPC and CPM costs are lower here. Our ads here are to drive these cold prospects to the website and improve brand awareness. ToFuįor this stage, we assume that prospects have never heard of our brand and are completely cold. Our Facebook ad spend in the UK between January 1st - 23rd March 2021 across 35 of our client accounts. Further down, we’ll show you the average costs for each funnel stage and how they differ. However, this a broad look at our ad spend and shows all stages of the funnel. The average CPC cost was £0.40, and CPM was £3.57. In the image below, you’ll see our Facebook ad spend in the first quarter of 2021. These prospects are more responsive and likely to buy from you, meaning you can be more direct with your offers in your ads. ![]() As you go further down the funnel, there are fewer prospects, but they’re much warmer to you. Imagine that prospects at the top haven’t heard of you adverts here tell them who you are and what you do. That’s because of the funnel.Ī Facebook marketing funnel is a model that shows your prospects’ journey as they go from unaware of you to paying customers via Facebook. These costs can also vary within a Facebook marketing campaign too. ![]() The cost for these can vary depending on what you’re selling, the competition and who you’re targeting. ![]() With CPM (cost per mile), you pay for every 1000 views of your ad. CPC (cost per click) is where you pay each time your ad gets clicked. Facebook charges you for these placements in two ways, either CPC or CPM. Facebook makes money by offering “placements” for ads on their platform, and advertisers bid for these placements. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rose recently reviewed the evidence for claims that certain substances can improve memory. "But," he asks "should we resist the claim that there is automatically a chemical fix for all our psychological fallings?." Professor Stephen Rose of the Open University has spent a lifetime studying memory and so far, he's pretty sceptical of many claims about memory enhancers: "the idea of memory-boosting pills is appealing". But could a pill really ever improve our memories? Our ability to recall something? It's a topic of serious research and has major implications for the treatment of dementia as well. Mild stimulants can help us concentrate which in turn might also improve our learning abilities. Most of us know a few cups of coffee will keep you going through the night if you're up against a deadline. Few if any research papers have covered all the bases which is why their conclusions are often cautious. Also, more research is urgently needed into the effects of mild or recreational use of many drugs on memory since that is more likely to impact on a larger section of the population. In short, there are lots of variables which could unduly influence the results of a study and skew the result. For example, a 2006 study on memory and cannabis by Riedel and Davies of the University of Aberdeen (2006) states that "care needs to be exercised since many human studies are flawed by multiple drug abuse, small sample sizes, sample selection and sensitivity of psychological tests for subtle differences". ![]() ![]() All of this appears hard to argue with but as pointed out by a number of researchers - it's not quite as straightforward as it seems. More than 200 studies have looked at cannabis, a similar number studied cocaine, and over a hundred looked at MDMA (ecstasy). Smoking is a cause of stroke which can cause short-term memory loss and can trigger dementia.įor illicit drugs of abuse, the picture is less clear but the majority of studies do tend to conclude that long-term drug use affects memory. Alcoholism can lead to brain cell death, short-term memory 'blackouts' and something called 'Korsakoff's Syndrome' which is a form of severe amnesia. The brain becomes less sensitive to dopamine, in effect requiring more of it to give us the same level of pleasure and addiction is the consequence of trying to feed that ever decreasing sensitivity.īefore looking at the general direction of research data, it's worth remembering that two legal drugs of abuse, nicotine and alcohol have already been clinically proven to cause memory loss. This helps to maintain the feelings of pleasure for much longer but has a downside to it - addiction. The result is an intense rush of pleasure but more importantly, the molecules of cocaine have also blocked the brain's natural 'mopping-up' mechanism. But the molecules of the active ingredients in cocaine so closely resemble the natural neurotransmitter dopamine that they too can bind to the same receptors. Neurotransmitters are designed to attach themselves only to specific receptors in order to pass on information. But this is not the case when we introduce a drug like cocaine. When our brains release dopamine, it feels pleasurable and then natural processes mop-up excess dopamine, bringing our pleasurable feelings to their natural end. A common neurotransmitter is dopamine, which amongst other things, activates feelings of pleasure. Neurotransmitters are the brain's chemical messengers and help to pass information between brain cells. It is remarkable when you consider that the different active ingredients in psycho-active substances are nearly identical in structure to the brain's neurotransmitters. However, drugs of abuse such as cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy set off a much more powerful cascade of changes that can have severe consequences for the user, consequences that may include memory loss.
