'Rap Still Needs Me' - Queen LatifahRapper/actress Queen Latifah is planning a return to the microphone - because current songs in the hip-hop industry are 'too superficial'.The star - 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 keen to return to her rap roots and record a new album - almost a decade after her last release.She tells Billboard.com, "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 foray into the rap industry was 1998's Order In The Court.
