that first mix tape much like drake is an undisputed classic.
She makes hits period.
I completely disagree with her work ethic not being high
She been working, come on now she had times she was feature HEAVY.
by her female peers standards she work hard. And even before then she got a LOT of pop features.
Now ALBUMS? You right, she don't drop many but with the way the industry is transitioning? It makes sense for HER specifically.
Beam Me Up Scotty was her in her prime. But like you said, Albums my brotha. You can’t be a GOAT without a classic album.
I never questioned her work ethic. I wouldn’t know though. Her albums have a 4-5 year gap between them and most of them are mid to me.
She was feature heavy early in her career. Name a feature in the last 10 years where she bodied it?
MC Lyte - Lyte As A Rock
Latifah - Black Reign
Kim - Hardcore
Foxy - Ill Na Na
Eve and Remy didn’t really make great albums but their pen stayed lethal throughout.
Shit Jean Grae - Jeanius is better than anything Nicki put out
Rapsody - Laila’s Wisdom
My personal favorite female MC is Lauryn but Miseducation as great as it is, is more R&B. Her bars on The Score though are legendary.
I like Nicki but I think she’s overrated.
But if you’re like in your 20’s - early 30’s, Nicki will be your female GOAT probably.
