so I just got to my computer to see how this vids doing and alot of ppl commenting about how I said Nicki is struggling to sell out tours around the 22 minute mark. It was referring to how in feb. 2024, Ticketmaster was discounting Pink Friday 2 tour tickets by 50% while also giving out $10 off coupons" So yeah.. it sold out. but it seems she had to do deals. idk... yall won. im prob wrong

[@offlineraided]

Less than a minute in you claim male rappers didn't accept them as they were so they pitted them against each other. No male let alone a rapper accepts them because they dont rap about anything relatable. Every song is about 304 behavior hence why nobody listens.

I appreciate bigging up Nicki but this was a bit biased or under researched. U didn’t mention a HUGE PART of Nicki’s career and how it ties into her “selling sex” because Nicki didn’t embrace the sex icon status until her third album. Her first album, pink Friday, which was critically acclaimed as likely opened the door for every female rapper rapping today, she didn’t mention any sexual bar ONCE. And she dressed in a much more dramatic and colourful tone with crazy costumes instead of sexy and mature, which caused a lot of rap heads to discredit her as a legitimate MC early on in her mainstream career

@@SuperKillerdog actually base on research nicki Minaj made 34.9 million dollars from 16 shows currently she is on her 33rd sold out show and 20 more shows left .. which are all about to sell out , please do the math before speaking on nicki And lastly she is set to have a stadium tour after industry’s are seeing the money she’s bringing about to surpass over a 100 million in her tour challenging drakes and Eminem’s numbers who did about 100 million . I know not everyone likes her music but to stay ignorant is like saying cause I don’t listen to Taylor swift then she isn’t successful. Nicki is selling out

[@CuriusGorg]

female rap isn't over, it's just gotten so big that so many women are trying to enter the game. It's getting the tunnel vision treatment, those who were already popular are only getting more popular, those who aren't are out of the bubble. A lot of the music isn't marketed well either. If I'm being honest, Doja has the best marketting, I know everything Doja's up to. I have some idea what's going on in the Nicki, Megan, and Cardi circle, but I know NOTHING about anyone else. It's not OVER, there's still hope, but it really depends on who's gonna revive it.

[@michaelfernandes4873]

All that perm chemicals from the salon going straight to the brain cells. Nicki Minaj’s current tour has sold out 32 shows, with capacities on par with some of the biggest rap tours ever, and it’s on track to be the 2nd highest grossing rap tour of all time in terms of revenue behind drakes most recent tour. Pls stop making these cheap CapCut poorly thought out KZbin videos for a living if you’re not willing to do research into what you’re speaking on.

[@gadget00]

honestly I don't see "ghostwriters" as a problem; social media has overblown it as some sort of "sin" and it shouldn't be the case. I mean Jay-Z wrote "Still D.R.E" and to this day nobody has accused Dre of nothing. 50Cent wrote stuff for The Game, and they all made good money out of it. This social media validation of "authenticity" is making skilled rappers to miss out on good lyrics to rap about, and killing careers for essentially virtue signalling

Your abt to drag out the lil Kim fans w/ this one and you might've alr😭😭 I feel like overtime tho whether she waa influenced *heavily* by Kim or not the industry still tries to use "the nicki formula" in a type of way. Whether it's to be the next her taking her down, just use her, work w/ her, whatever. Ntm going back to the kim influence, she just hasn't pushed,paraded, and lasted overall w/ passing modern times. Whether it was "jail" and any other "minor" setback or not, whether she still has a "core base" 👀 (I can respect kims legacy but that core base aint core basing, that career is no longer careering) or not. Also when you say "she the best yet, it's not close" your saying nobody else made it close...?

I like how you put this video together. I've been a Hip Hop head since a kid and always will be. I had this thought that one day, maybe, all of the female MC's would do an album, hell, even a song together. The older female MC's and the younger ones. Man, that shit would change the game. Just a thought 💭

[@LuckyQuadrifoglio]

I think, female rappers need either eachother, or a “ops attract” kind of thing. A good example of this is not my fault by Renee rap ft Megan thee stallion. It’s not a bad song and it’s fun to sing. Rich baby daddy was a good song because of sza’s verse with her R/B flavor, sexyy red and her controversial lyrics, and drake with his beats. Female rappers can only go somewhere if they help eachother reach the top rather than breaking eachother down to get a second of fame. The passion isn’t there anymore and that’s the thing we miss.

[@geezmaboi]

The rap game will never allow a female kendrick or cole.Maybe a drake but a woman who will put her stamp on the culture in a relevant way through pure talent alone is a no no lets be honest.They dont get the same love and attention from the culture and woman like lauren Hill could be said a anomoly in the game which is sad.

@@SuperKillerdog Female rap today doesn’t care about substance. It’s about sex appeal and being commercially marketable. Commercially marketable music isn’t going to be lyrically deep or instrumentally complicated cuz the more simple a song is the wider audience it reaches and the more money they get. It’s all about making a quick buck instead of showcasing artistry.
