I feel you on the replay value and holding her own.
So if it’s all about “Moving the Crowd, then this guy was a Great “MC”!
Man aint nobody bumpin or playin that CACs music today.

Yup
I feel like if you didn't know that, you shouldn't be allowed to comment in this debate.

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.
No way in hell that list is in order of best to worst.
If so,T.I. need to stfu wit that bullshit.

People don’t like Nicki’s personality so she doesn’t get the respect she deserves. People also feel that she bit too much off of Lil Kim.
She’s also viewed as a “Hater”.
your right, I get that
and the BARBIES don't help either.
But if you go by her MUSIC?
She is damn superstar...
hate all the star-ship stuff all they want
but those pop crossover records were huge and did what they were supposed to.
I WILL say she needs to evolve stylistically a little... but then EVERY TIME I hear that?
She jumps on another remix and KILLS it damn near EVERY TIME.
She just needs a better team MUSICALLY around her and I think this new persona she has chosen of angry screaming Black woman? And going at Cardi? is NOT a wise direction.
that megatron record was TOUGH, but people just don't LIKE her right now
and at this point its mostly HER FAULT.
I have never seen a successful HATED female rapper dudes can pull that off.
You listen to Nicki’s music?

It's her attitude... The negative engery she puts out comes right back at her...
She took the ultimate bitch/Diva act to the extreme to where it turns people off...
The fact when she said she was "retiring" more people were like good... Kick rocks... than No stay and make music... Tells you alot....
Yeah..
have I bought an album?
I can't lie, no.
But I listen to a lot of music, Nicki included
And I enjoy a lot of her stuff, she fell off there for a hot minute.
and like I said I still defend her first mixtape as one of the best ever by a new artist.

Lil kim before all the plastic way better than nikki. Nikki is talented and is a better entertainer. Rapper nah.
Jean Grae gets no respect

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.
