I find it funny that people call her the queen of hip-hop without even having an album as good or better as hardcore or the miseducation of Lauryn Hill. People uses arguments his discredit Drake all the time but let nicki slide.

I don’t know many people outside her core stan base that thinks she has anything remotely to a classic

maybe but beam me up scotty a classic mixtape

I thought this was common knowledge

Name one female rapper as successful as her for as long as she’s been successful.

I will wait.

I mean yeah but sadly there was really no one else to call “queen of hip hop” for a long time that even came close

Pointless thread, tbh.

Not many artists have classic albums.

Nicki, obviously doesn’t.

Man we don’t care. I don’t think anybody here f***s with her like that to dispute this

I don’t think any female rapper besides Lauryn Hill have undeniable classics

Kala by M.I.A

Missy

3 classic tapes. 3 great albums

Sky is also blue

Nicki’s an easy target for ppl, but I’m not gonna discredit her pen. Her catalog really is solid.

Missy

She stopped in 05 but went strong from 97

Was Queen a hot record from Nicki? I don’t remember anything from that album doing well

Successfully pop rap doesn't translate to being relevant to the culture (hip hop)
Im pretty sure that mc lyte, Lauryn hill even Roxanne shantay get more respect and are already cemented in the books
Also Missy Elliott exits (top notch producer an, rapper and performer)

You can wait on another pop rap sentasation with multiple chart breaking records, we got our queens
Lastly, we can appreciate Nicki for her succes too

And somehow she was one of the most talked about rappers in 2018. And every year since. And every year before that since 2010👀

Missy a good pick tho, Nicki only beating her by 2 years if we go by your timeline.

I’d still argue Nicki had bigger impact, maybe not a huge influence on the music genre itself but her aesthetic and global impact is undeniable.

She barely has a classic SONG

Nicki is the queen of this s*** but yeah she doesn’t have a clear classic. One could argue that Pink Friday is a classic because of the amount of hits it had but that won’t be me because idc like that.

Ehh

Nice
