I just peeped his list. Ghostface at 30 is all I needed to know to determine he doesn't know what he's talking about. And all the people he has before him.....nah.
I know people hate on Nicki Minaj for her gimmicks but isn't she a lot more lyrical and better at wordplay than Lil Kim was?
I don't know either of their catalogues very well but listening to them both over the years, I think of Lil Kim as having a nice flow and being able to hang with the men but I can't think of one lyrical verse or song from her or even a really hot bar. I haven't heard a Nicki Minaj song in years but I think her early stuff runs circles around anything Lil Kim ever did.

You weren't impressed with her on this Mobb Deep song?
fun fact camron wrote that verse
Lil Kim has a better catalog of music than Nicki Minaj. I have Lil Kim as 1 of the GOAT female MCs. She got classics that still go hard today.
He's right though. That Quiet Storm verse is classic. It's a ringtone for my most thuglife bout it sistren to this day.
Fam he's retarded or suffering from some degree of mental midgetry. While giving his opinion he indicates why his opinion is meaningless on the matter. He just wants to be in the discussion. Bless his lonely precious heart and midget sized brain.

She’s a “Rapper”, not an “MC”. She didn’t write her rhymes and isn’t a known spitter.
And yes the Quiet Storm verse was good.
MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill, Rah Digga and Remy Ma are “MC’s.

No way in hell that list is in order of best to worst.
If so,T.I. need to stfu wit that bullshit.
The quiet storm verse was more than just good...
That some iconic classic sh*t
All them save for Rah Digga done had "help" and or ghostwriters. Kim's music has better replay value and still gets bumped more than all of them. Kim was the total package as a female MC, she can flow, she got a presence with her delivery, she had sex appeal but she hardcore at the same time. She always holds her own with the dudes she raps wit on features. Theres been alot of female MCs that are lyrical and can spit but dont make good music or have a memorable catalog. Rakim said MC stands for "Move the Crowd"
Yup
I feel like if you didn't know that, you shouldn't be allowed to comment in this debate.
Sidebar...
Correct me if I'm wrong but kim wrote quiet storm herself. That alone is enough for me.
I'm not that hard on the writing thing with female mcs.
Because Apache wrote for Latifah, i think LL and her brother Milk wrote for Lyte, same for Salt and Pepa, Foxxy and Kim, even the best ever L Boogie had "help" with miseducation at least (allegedly) and i still believe Safaree "helped" Nicki at times.
If we start getting into ghost writing?
then we gotta give Shante, Bahamadia, Rah Digga, Remy, Rapsody and Young MA etc super duper props not just as the best female mcs but best mcs PERIOD.
Kim to me had that flow, the performance the looks, the energy, the delivery...
The INFLUENCE was undeniable
Nicki first mixtape to me may be the best one from a rookie... PERIOD.
Unfortunately Nicki took so MUCH from Kim there aint no way i can rank her ABOVE. However i do not understand the hate and dismissive way she is treated she is an all time great MC no question who now has herself left a long legacy of influence.
