I appreciate bigging up Nicki but this was a bit biased or under researched.

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

[@summeryick5641]

⁠@@gadget00I think it dumbs down to perception, if I like a song I’ll still listen to it even though the artist didn’t write it. Dre gets away with it bc of his legendary status as a producer rather than an emcee. But I’ve also bought into the narrative that writing your own bars, finding your style and perfecting your craft is admirable and respectable. Which is why, while I enjoy them both, I think of Cardi as more of an artist than a rapper, and a rapper like Nicki can still stand against the newer wave of female rappers.

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 💭

Rap is … very interesting right now. It’s either the men beefing with a new diss track every week or the over sexualized lyrics of female rap. This must be why people are listening to so much Taylor Swift. Rap is a hot mess right now

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 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.

[@m1ssjuju]

As much as I can't stand some of Nickis antics with other female rappers on social media etc.. she is illest female rapper period. She's made it past her own genre and up against males, she can hold her own easy! She def talented and her pen game is crazy! In saying this, I'm also a fan of all the others who've made it mainstream, including Cardi, Meg, Latto, Glo etc etc... it's awesome to just have so many different styles of female hip hop artists to listen to today and I'm all here for it. They are on rotation in my playlists alongside the male rappers too.. I'm not a youngin no more either lol

[@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.

I think female rap can be seen as the end point of rap being popular in general. We had pop-rock in late 2000s, pure party bubble gum pop like Kesha and Katy Perry in early 2010s, edm pop like chainsmokers from 2016-2018, then rap dominated 2018-2022 with female rap being a sub sector at the tail end of that. Now I’d say we are in the country era. It’s not the girls fault it all just goes in waves. Nicki found superstardom by participating in the bubblegum pop wave that she existed in, now we might see more of that as pop comes back or more old town road songs
