Yo-Yo Biography

Biography of Yo-Yo. Detailed Yo-Yo profile and review.

Yo-Yo is an American hardcore rapper known primarily among hip hop fans and music critics. Her albums were never explicitly feminist, though she earned praise from some quarters for her advocacy of female empowerment, especially sexually. Her critically acclaimed debut was 1991's Make Way for the Motherlode and was followed up by the equally acclaimed Black Pearl. After that, just as West Coast hip hop artists like Death Row Records labelmates Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg began topping the charts, Yo-Yo's albums became less and less successful, especially after Death Row began disintegrating in the middle of the decade. In 2004, she had a role in the videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as Kendl Johnson. Yo-Yo's birth name is Yolanda Whitaker.
