Cardi pioneered on an industry opportunity breakthrough level; now the conditions are present for female rappers to break through at a pace we’d never previously seen
Even then tho, every female rapper to break through in this period has been influenced by Nicki in some overt way whether it be in their fashion, visuals, personality or actual music. And that’s been the one constant: everyone still emulates Nicki regardless
doja is the only one influenced by nicki

That’s not bc of Cardi it’s just timing. It has more to do with social media and now IG thots can try rapping bc they have a platform to be discovered and pushed the same way male youtubers or whatever are rapping more.
And the already-known female rappers like Latto and Meg are maintaining their popularity as glorified IG models.
But Nicki showed labels it’s even worth it to sign a girl to be a huge big 3 level rap star as a female not just a Lil Kim. She was at Grammys sitting with pop stars doing crossover records and s*** and actually OUTLASTED those Katy Perrys and Pinks before Cardi B was even a thing
It is because of cardi, nicki had to put out pop music to reach those heights, cardi did it with rap which prompted labels to try and recreate CARDI's success, not nicki's
QC literally admitted it, how is this still a debate

Do you have working ears?
How’s it tied to Cardi not Nicki?
Nicki popped a decade before Cardi. Not a single female artist thrived.

QC, 2 ppl who were directly with Cardi would obviously namedrop her in an interview but would admit themselves Nicki made the lane even monetizable, doesnt represent the whole genre, and have 1 successful female rapper JT who is a Nicki stan. Social media just happens to have risen in 2016 onward which is what blew up Cardi herself and her comparisons to Nicki

Cardi debuted and literally 6 months later all the songs leading up to her debut for 8 months were pop songs, 3 of them the biggest songs in her discography so what are we talking about rn
It is and always will be Nicki lmfao. Most of these girlies gonna name her as their #1 inspiration, even Cardi
