The correct answer is jazz (American music originating in African-American communities, think R&B), reggae (pop music originating in Jamaica, think Bob Marley), and soul (a mix of R&B and gospel music, with an emphasis on vocals). In addition to these musical influences, Queen Latifah's album was also significant as a symbol of women's empowerment during an era in which rap was dominated by (often sexist) men.
