Would Nicki be in your top 10/top 20 if she was a man?

[dodge]

Where are you getting this bullshit narrative from.

Rappers like Missy, L-boogie, Da Brat and plenty others have never had the ghostwriter tag, at not that I recall.

Nicki got that ghostwriter tag cuz she didn't really dispute it when those claims were made.

Like I said. That’s because they are mostly seen as pure MC’s

Nicki quickly shifted to pop and managed to stay there for most of her career..

All I’m saying is that most rappers have ghostwriters or people that “helped” them with their lyrics at different points in their careers. No matter how successfully mainstream they end up as

 

[Focal Point]

Female rappers are looked down upon no matter what. Even if they’re dope, people would suspect a ghostwriter….despite most male rappers having ghostwriters or “helpers” on their songs..

Jean Grae and Eve are rappers who weren't accused of as far as I know ghostwriting

In terms of fame and body of work ? Why are we overlooking that ? She happens to have hotness too but she has sales, longevity, lyrical skill, impact and arguably critical acclaim (if yall gonna give Drake shit for critical acclaim or not having classics but he's in the top 3, keep the same energy for Nicki). She can rock with them. Yall give Drake maaaad shit on all those metrics but Nicki who cut from the same cloth as him can't be in his ranks ? If not Nicki who else is there ? Nicki helped birth the likes of Cardi B, Meg The Stallion and aaaalll these female rappers bussin it open and rapping like her. She clearly has the influence and impact. The problem with ABW is she's a woman.

If not Nicki who else can play 4th wheel and has the body of work and accolades to justify it from Drake's era ?

Lyrical and lyricist not the same, one is bars and the other is the poetic emotional expression in the rap and I don't knock your placement of her with Lamar, Cole, and Drake... but again top 10 or 20, we not talking today alone man, this overall if I'm not mistaken

 

[mryounggun]

I'm all about making sure women get the credit they deserve and I want us all to recognize the biases that we have against women in certain arenas...but cut the bullshit.

That's a hard no for me.

 

[shutupGabi]

Why when she ain’t had no real hits like she was when she was with him?

He said multiple times he never wrote for her

 

[King Freeman]

After all the “Starship” and pop shit she did?

If she was a guy doin that, she would’ve BEEN ran off in hip-hop.

He would be lil nas x and be eating. Still not nowhere near my top 100 tho. Lmao.

 

[Al G. Rhythm]

Nicki would be as big as ASAP Ferg

 

[OGDirtyD]

Fuck No lmmao

Nikki bars the most basic watered down shit. Her delivery is dope and what not but fuck no.

It’s almost like you blatantly ignored most of what you listed is due to the fact that she’s a woman lol

How would she have the same “accolades” if she was a man? She wouldn’t lol

nicki was a big fish in a small pond for the majority of her career and she has a lot of sales from females because…she’s a female

 

[Marc123]

I'd glady tell nicki she is top 10 if she lets me smash

 

[VIBE]

Only reason she is big like she is, is because of the names and label she was under and there was no female rappers doing it big..

 

[Stomp Johnson]

I respect your trash ass opinion and horrible taste in music.

 

[RozayTabernacle]

 

[RozayTabernacle]

Nicki can rap, don't get me wrong. but there's plenty of people who can rap well, doesn't necessarily translate over to the music

 

[Mr.LV]

She raps better when she is a feature on somebody else's song

 

[Love]

Nope

 

[Tessai]

I never got the hype of her she always been trash to me

 

[genocide_cutter]

Snow da Product is better

 

[Qawshun]

Not at all. she still not better than this lady here.

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

If Nicki was a man she'd be in the conversation with Drake, Kendrick and J. Cole.

Her subject matter too basic to crack any sort of all time top 20 list. I do think if her music had more substance and varied topics, she had the chance to be the greatest female rapper of all time. But she just wanna talk about designer clothes and getting her pussy eaten.
So now she just remains in the lil Kim, foxy, cardi lane.
Lauryn, Missy, Latifah and eve on a higher tier

 

[Los216]

No. She's not that good.
