All Hail the Queen is the debut album by
alternative hip hop artist
Queen Latifah, released in November of
1989 (see
1989 in music) on
Tommy Boy Records[?]. The album was unusually successful for a hip hop record at the time, buoyed by the single "Wrath of My Madness". The
feminist anthem "Ladies First" (with
Monie Love[?]) remains one of Latifah's signature songs.
Rolling Stone magazine gave the album five stars.
All Hail the Queen peaked at #6 and #124 on Billboard's (North America) Top Hip Hop/R&B Albums and the Billboard 200 charts, respectively.
