Return of the Queen

Queen Latifah, who has made a name for herself as an actress in Hollywood, plans a rap comeback because she thinks today's rap music is too superficial.

Latifah - real name Dana Owens - has been a regular in Hollywood of late, with high-profile roles in movies such as Hairspray and Chicago. But she is planning a return to her rap roots and record a new album - almost a decade after her last release.

She states, "I think there's a bunch of rap heads and hip-hop lovers who are my age. "They just want good music that's not shallow. There's still room for me to do my thing." Latifah's last album was 1998's Order In The Court.
