If Lil Kim didn’t have enough reason to dislike Nicki Minaj before then she certainly does now. In the December issue of Rolling Stone magazine Minaj has proclaimed the official “new Queen of Hip-Hop”. Read the article below:
I personally disagree with the statement as it is far too soon to bestow such a title on Minaj who only recently released her debut album. If anyone deserves that accolade then it is Missy Elliott because she has sold more records and had more hits than any other female MC. Still, this is just a matter of opinion.
I CAN’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s Rolling STONE, not Rolling Stones.
You had me believe that the rock band was co-signing this chick, that’s why I clicked on this!
I love nicki but her album is not hip hop jus pure pop
they def got exited with that title lol
http://www.allfablife.b*******.com/
THAT’s B*******. Those other MC’s actually rapped, not spit out garbage & sounded like they were crack babies as they rapped. F*** rolling stone & that ho nickigarbage.
THE ONLY QUEEN IS KIM ANYBODY TRY SAY ANY DIFFERENT AND ILL SCALP YOU.
MISSY ELLIOTT is the QUEEN
yes, Nicki is the new Queen of this time, no other females MC is doing what she is rite now. cant even compare to her.. she is the BEST doing it rite now! so get USE to it cause she is here to stay !
L M A O thanks for the joke, that was the shortest reign in history then, Kim must have gone to the toilet because if there ever was any doubt (not that there was) Kim snatched the crown and the wig underneath it back today lol
Magazines say whoever is featured is the king or queen of something just to lick ass, how can you be the queen of hip hop when you just released an album, have no grammy, no catalogue and only basic b****** even take you serious as a hip hop artist? nicki is hip pop.
& people don’t even bring Kim UP cause she was this QUEEN of her time, this isn’t her time anymore . she is washed up !
WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH THE GAME TODAY??? DID SUM1 PAY FOR THAT SPOT OR SUMTHIN SHE JUST HAD 1 OFFICIAL ALBUM OUT!!!! WTF!!! NOOOOOOOOO
It’s quite natural they would do something like that since she’s “hot” right now. I thought Queen Latifah was the Queen of Hip Hop, and I agree, Missy Elliott should’ve been next in line. What is the world coming to? Nicki is far from Hip Hop; she’s waaay too commercial and pop-sounding.
These mags are just looking for controversy, eh?
And let the great debate begin…
@FUTRESTARDELUX
SHUT YO GAY A** UP
WE’VE ALREADY SEEN YOUR PROFILE PIC
YOU ARE A WHITE F** WHO HAS NO VALUE ON HIP HOP B**** LETTITGO!!!
just BECAUSE SHES POPULAR RIGHT NOW SHES THE QUEEN????? WHAT THE F*** THIS TOTALLY KNOCKS AWAY KIMS SONG CUZ PPL ARE GOING TO USE THIS NOW. SHITTTTTTTTTTT
Smdh they Wish
@ LOL:
I like how you use homophobia to make your argument.
You look so intelligent and credible doing that.
@LOL Yeah i’m gay and? Nicki is a lesbian but that doesn’t stop you stanning for her airbag ass so STFU and actually i’m not white i’m mixed race and the day i take advice from a Nicki Minaj stan on Hip-Hop is the day i get sectioned in a mental hospital.
The only thing Nicki is Queen of is suckin Waynes c***… no wait Drake is Queen of suckin Waynes c*** lol Please these stans rare SO delusional believing this, use your brains how can you be Queen of a genre when you arn’t even in the genre and you only dropped your 1st album this week?!
Guess Cheryl Cole just de-thrones Madonna too… LOL #Joke
F*** NO THIS FAKE NASTY NO TALENT PLASTIC SURGERY OBSESSED F** IS NOT THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL TO THE MOTHER F****** NO!!!!!!!!!!
*drops mic*
DEAD! Missy Elliott >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> . Wait till Missy drop her new album. Like she has said before, “When I come you, you won’t even mattah!”
“Drake is Queen of suckin Waynes c***”
*DEAD*
HOW COME RAPPERS LIKE KID CUDI AND B.O.B CAN DO HIP-POP AND ITS OKAY BUT WHEN NICKI DOES IT SHE IS WACK. OKAY?
90% OF THE SONGS ON THAT ALBUM HAVE MEANING, TELL A STORY, AND GIVES YOU A GLIMPSE INSIDE OF THE LIFE OF NICKI. IF SHE WOULDA USED HIP HOP BEATS EVERYONE WOULD’VE EMBRACED IT.

@FUTURESTARDELUXE
NICKI PRAISED KIM FROM DAY 1. DAY MUTHAFUCKIN 1. IN THE INTERVIEWS. SHE PAYED HOMAGE TO HER IN HER SONGS.
NICKY WAS NOT THROWING SHADE AT KIM IN HER SONGS SHE WAS BEING COCKY LIKE EVERY RAPPER.
LIL WAYNE SAYS HE’S THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE AND HE SHITS ON EVERY RAPPER IN THE GAME YOU DON’T HEAR JAY Z GETTING MAD. BECUASE JAY KNOWS HE IS BEING A RAPPER.
LIL KIM IS THE QUEEN NO DOUBT BUT I FEEL LIKE SHE IS TRYING TO RIDE OFF OF KIM’S NAME.
AND WHY IS PINK FRIDAY GARBAGE? HAVE YOU EVEN LISTENED TO IT. 90% OF THE SONGS ON THAT ALBUM HAVE MEANING, TELL A STORY, AND GIVES YOU A GLIMPSE INSIDE OF THE LIFE OF NICKI. IF SHE WOULDA USED HIP HOP BEATS EVERYONE WOULD’VE EMBRACED IT.
HOW COME RAPPERS LIKE KID CUDI AND B.O.B CAN DO HIP-POP BUT WHEN NICKI DOES IT SHE IS WACK. OKAY?
I FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO BOX NICKI IN. THEY DON’T WANT HER TO EXPERIMENT, THEY WANT HER TO BE THE TYPICAL FEMALE RAPPER WHO IS EITHER HARD OR A NASTY S***.
At the end of the day and of your miserable lives, Rolling Stone > you.
BE mad about it.
They also call her “The First Lady of Hip Hop.” What a joke that is.
You know…Nicki isn’t the Queen of jack squat because she just now released her debut album. Lets see how PF performs in the long run, before we start calling this chick the Queen of anything.
Thinking about not voting for Obama in 2012? Watch this video and think again!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2ceHEmauV0
Rolling Stone Mag’….you’re wrong for that.
I listened Nicki’s album and it’s just pure garbage and not HIp-Hop AT ALL.
Mainstream music is terrible these days….
^^I must admit that PF is more Pop oriented than Hip Hop.
Nicki’s music is wack & she is too. Music for insane ppl. She’s a plastic s***. Barbie my ass. She put a bad name out there for the real harajuku girls, she’s a knock off, popped b****!
Team Minaj California
I totally agree. This is why I hate coming to blogs sometimes, especially when there’s n****** involved. (There’s a difference between blacks and just straight up n****** and this comment is coming from a black female.) It is way too soon to crown Nicki as being Queen of anything, but HIP-HOP IS F****** UNIVERSAL! I can’t believe how many uneducated people there are on these blogs talking about Nicki is pop! NO, her s*** is urban crossover and there’s a difference. Hip-Hop comes in all forms and is done differently around the world. Why does it have to be gangsta, ghetto s*** all the time? Every single song on her album is hip-hop and some have a pop or electronic influence! Just like Lady Gaga is pop but her music has an electro influence! I find it funny how B.O.B and Gym Class Heros can do alternative hip-hop, Kid Cudi can do pop-hip-hop, and The Black Eyed Peas can do electro-hip-hop and pop, and no one says anything, but when Nicki tries something different, everyone wants to bash her. Learn about f****** music before you make such a stupid comment.
Wayne: “Ok Drake you can have a deal, send in Nicki on your way out” – http://twitpic.com/3aioyg
Yall dumb. Shes the NEW queen….LOL how the f*** is missy gonna be the new queen of hi hop when she aint new????

#isstillpinkfridayhoe
Lauryn Hill is the QUEEN of Hip Hop. Rolling Stone stop smoking that dope
What does Rolling Stone know about Hip Hop again? Just because someone’s the hot meal right now doesn’t make them the queen. She’s not even hip hop -____-
TIME WILL TELL NICKI ALREADY MADE HISTORY AND IF SHE SOLD SOLD 400,000 WITH PINK FRIDAY ANTOTHER RECORED TO BREAK AND I LOVE THE PICS DO YOURE THING NICK
WTF!!!!!
@ILOVEXTINA
WHy is she not Hip Hop.
I mean B.O.B and Kid Cudi are considered Hip Hop and they do the pop stuff too, but oh wait a female rapper has to be one sided and stick to the script. STOP TRYING TO PUT NICKI MINAJ IN A BOX.
SO many people are used to hearing female rappers do the same stuff that when they do something different they are automatically called out for it
You guys should actually read the article its a good read.
She has overcame a lot of struggle and hardship and I respect anybody who can do that. I just wish she would carry that over to her music.
And she seems like a very smart girl. I’m not a fan of current hip hop, but my daughter absolutely loves her. I bought the album off of itunes on Tuesday for her. And I actually listened to the songs so that I can cut my daughter from putting any songs on her ipod that were to raunchy or to explicit and there were maybe only 1 or 2 song that I blocked, but the rest was very safe for children. Some of the songs like Moment 4 Life, Dear Old Nicki, I’m The Best, & Here I am actually made it to my ipod. I actually got a new respect for her after listening.
I had drew the line a long time ago. I sense that this chick will be a faded shadow by two years from now.
won’t waste my time reading it. RS is discredited!
Lauryn hill is the undisputed queen of Hip-hop
Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a classic people still bump to today.
back to listening to ‘black friday’
Premature!
Well there aren’t really any strong female rappers in the game right now other than Nicki, so…
I agree with Trent though, it’s way too early to be saying things like that. They do the same with Lady Gaga (but at least she has a couple albums out).
Team Minaj California
She appeals more to the Pop market. B.O.B. as well. I like some of the songs from her album (Moment 4 Life, Here I Am, Roman’s Revenge) but it’s quite obvious that she wanted to do a pop album more than a hip hop one.
I give her the benefit though, she’s the only female rapper representing right now, but giving her the title as Queen is too soon.
BS LOL
LMFAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO YASSSSSSSSS QUEEN MINAJ!!! U OFFICIALY TOOK THE CROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF! THE music Industry now is a BIG JOKE!! I am DONE Bye!!
how can nicki be the new queen of hiphop when the majority of songs on her album are pop?
she is a sell out who, dashed her hiphop roots, to make mainstream souless pop for the fame and adoration of the simple minded masses. if she is hiphop, then so is barny.
THE THING YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND IS THEY SAID “NEW” IS MISSY NEW, NOPE….THANK YOU..
Lil Kim and Miss Elliot has had their day, they where big and they both at their time reign has queen and we love them and now it’s their reign is over!
Let’s let Nicki Minaj have her day just like the other, she will reign and than her reign will pass and than some other female MC will take her place.
It’s Nicki Minaj time!
Seriously Rolling Stone? If they ever had any credibility they’ve lost it now. There are so many real artists out there who are better deserved of this title than the autotuned crap that is Minaj.

P.S. @KILLACAM AND @JEWELZ I LIKE LAURYN HILL TOO. BUT I STILL LOVE NICKI MINAJ TOO DEATH <3
@ 3x’sthelove
Well said, I agree with you. 🙂
WHATS REALLY SAD IS HOW THE MEDIA LOVES CONTROVERSY. OF COURSE YOU CAN BE THE BEST WHEN THE REST AREN’T DOING ANYTHING.
NICKI MINAJ REPRESENTS A NEW GENERATION OF HIP-POP NOT ANY SPECTACULAR ABILITY. YOUNGSTERS WANT SOMETHING NEW AND A RECORD COMPANY SERVED IT UP TO YALLS ASSES. PERIOD.
HIP HOP’S BEEN DEAD. POP SELLS. GET YOUR $ I GET IT.
THE SAME MAGAZINE ONCE CALLED JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE THE NEW KING OF POP. SO THIS MEANS NOTHING
you IDIOT SICKI GARBAJ FANS HAVE READING COMPREHENSION PROBLEMS!!!!!
If somebody says that you are the “new” queen of hip hop they don’t mean “the other girls came out 10 years ago and Nicki just came out” .. THEY MEAN SHE IS REPLACING SOMEONE AS THE QUEEN. WHICH SHE IS NOT!
Like WAS SOMEBODY CALLING ARETHA THE QUEEN THE WEEK AFTER HER DEBUT DROPPED?! THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SO ARE YOU DUMBASSES! STAY IN SCHOOL!
What a disgrace to hip hop lovers and artist . Rolling stone can kick rocks. Too early to giving her that title . That can make a backlash for real.
Nicki minaj hasn’t done enough to be queen… SMH Ill say it again the only reason why she is
relevent is because she is the only female MC out right now..
WTF ???
Rolling stones needs to sit the f*** down.
Always saying b******* to sell copies.
Lil Kim just KILLED her on Black Friday.
I like Nicki but she’s not the queen of ANYTHING.
She has nothing lyrically & is trying to be some kind of pop star.
She hasn’t had an top 10 hits of her own.
& the only thing that she actually sounds good on
is other ppl’s songs & even then it’s not all that great.
Just bubble-gum wack rap that young teenagers will buy
because they know no better….this is a JOKE
I agree with Rollling Stone. To ALL of you (@Badd, @TrueBlue, etc.) I don’t think they literally meant she’s the Queen of All Hip-Hop to date. I think they meant that she’s the queen now. No one else is doing it. Hell, Lil Mama was our only hope for a while there. The reason they’re saying she’s Queen right now is because she’s the only female rapper out and killing it right now. Where’s Missy? Where’s Remy? Where’s Kim? Where’s Eve? That’s exactly what I’m saying. Nicki brought female rappers back.
@ILoveXtina
Are you kidding me? Nicki did NOT make a pop album by any means. She made a mainstream, hip-hop record. Why in the world doesn’t ANYONE let rap artists EXPERIMENT? If Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce change their sound and experiment, it’s welcomed warmly. The minute Nicki steps out of the hard-ass “Roman’s Revenge” box, she’s wack and pop.
She’s allowed to experiment. Pink Friday showcases all that she is: she’s more than just a disposable hard-ass rapper. She can spit raps but she can also put soul and heartfelt lyrics into her songs. Lauryn isn’t the BEST rapper in history, but she’s thought of that way because of the fact that she experimented and was more about the substance than how amazingly she rapped.
@WaltonsDevil
Wrong.
I HATE ROLLING STONE FAKS ASS MAG!
THESE FOOLS MUST BE ON THE DAMN RAG!
HOW IS THIS LIL KIM WANNA BE THE NEW QUEEN WITH 1 CD AND A FEW PRE-ARRANGED FEATURES? LOL

you IDIOT SICKI GARBAJ FANS HAVE READING COMPREHENSION PROBLEMS!!!!!
—————
Exactly LMAO! Yeah but what can you expect when they’re reading crap like this?
IT’LL BE A MURDER SCENE!
I’LL TURN A PINK FRIDAY TO FRIDAY THE 13TH!
🙂
Missy Elliot never really contributed lyrically. She has the biggest hits though.
Nicki Minaj is the only woman right now how is actually working and selling records. Like she said, until Kim, Foxy, or Missy for that matter are on Billboard.. give her your respect. While I dont like it .. numbers dont lie.
When Nicki actually releases a HIP HOP ALBUM then I’ll see cuz that pop ass Pink Friday is NOT and will never be HIP HOP.
Then again, I think this may be a setup. They posted this just so everyone would attack her just like they did Justin. Now were is he at? The Lauryn Hill comparison, and the lies about her great acting all seem like a setup for her downfall.
S***, the SAME media that put out those lies is the SAME media that played Kim’s Black Friday non stop on the radio, and made damn sure everybody from the US to the UK heard it. THINK ABOUT IT.
And if Kim don’t finish her I’m willing to bet money that suddenly out of the blue some new Lauryn Hill like female MC is going to pop out of the darkness in 2011 to finish her. And yes she will be MYSTERIOUSLY promoted on the radio and on the internet too.
B**** about to take a fall. Sad thing is, Nicki is too dumb to see she’s being setup.
P.S. Same s*** happened with Nelly vs KRS-ONE. Nelly outsold him, then got booed out of New York. Now He’s crying about a flopped album. Don’t get caught up in the hype kiddies. History DOES repeat itself.
@RihannaForever
Oh she can experiment, but let’s get serious, Pink Friday was autotune overload. I’m not saying that it wasn’t Hip-Hop I’m saying that it headed for a more Pop sound. The general consensus was that it was “Hip-Pop” album, if you will.
@Ilovextina Pink friday was not autotuned. The only song that used autotuned were Your love and Check it out. I think some of you are just jumping on the hate bandwagon and havent heard the album
and Pink friday is HIP HOP because she is rhyming on the cd. There was only one song where she sang the whole thing called “Save me” and she did a good job. Why not? The cd has meaningful songs which u all wanted from her and now u get it your complaint is its too pop.
Some of you obviously dont really listen to hip hop cause singing has always been involved in hip hop. Its just that Nicki knows how to sing so she sings her own hooks and the other half of u you seem so jealous.
At the end of the day its just music, she made a good first cd. Let the girl live.
is this the same Rolling Stone that placed Mariah WHERE on the top artist list?
Yeah…..
NEXT!!!!
SideNote: 70 Comments? No one believes this to be true Ma.
U journalist…are a hater…just because she has 1 mainstream album doesnt mean her mixtapes were not on point….listen to her lyrical genius on another level she has the rap swagger of a dude ….for this outrageous comment u made * raises cardboard sign* C’MON SON! stop hating…f*** outa here you need to stop hating
BULL S***…….How can anyone fix their mouths to even say it.. BULL S*** With all of her personalities its still not true.. she does have a lane and her songs are good but the best female Rap artist …NOT TRUE SUKI LAH JAM MASTER JAYs PROTAG’E
She’s really the Queen!!!! I love her!!!
Pink Friday is he best hip hop record in years!!!
Good for Nicki!!!
To say that Nicki is the queen , that is really far fetch. The woman has only 1 album. But she is what is HOT right now. You cant deny it.. She is everywhere. We havent had a female blow up the game like this for a while now, and i am actually excited to see what this wakes up in the other female MC’s that are out there. Kim and Missy are good, but what have the put out there in the last few years, nothing. We have had some female put albums out, but nothing with real lyrics. It has all been ( with a execption of a few) the same f*ck me and give me ur money bull. I am hoping with the arise of Nicki , that it will wake up the females to get back in the game, and that they will spit some fire. Nicki is commercial, she is what is selling, her album is very pop imo.But is opening doors.lets see what happens from here.

Yeah Nicki YOU’RE NO ONES “Queen of Hip Hop”
LIL KIM is the REIGNING QUEEN of HIP-HOP!!!
Check her catalog out before ya’ll judge…Its more that just RAUNCHY lyrics….
DEAR ROLLING STONE: “PINK FRIDAY” IS NOT A HIP-HOP ALBUM!!!
Am i the only one that thinks the media is trying to ONCE AGAIN make more controversy she already has beef with lil Kim the proclaimed QUEEN B so now they wanna stirr the pot more by calling nicki the NEW QUEEN of hip hop ….. smdh
I love Nicki and all but you cant be premature and call someone the Queen until the have had their foot in the door a lot longer than just a year give or take. Plus her album just came out. Funny because it seems when people read or constantly say things, people start to believe it. How many times have you heard a rapper (Jay Z mainly, Wayne, etc) or singer say they are the greatest over and over to the point where people will just start saying it. People dont really think for themselves, they must be told what you want them to call you and eventually they will
WOW..LIL KIM FANS YALL ARE REALLY HATING!! LET NICKI MINAJ HAVE HER SHINE!! FALL BACK ND STOP ALL THIS HATING!! SMDH
yall can say whateva ya want turn on the radio n she is all that u hear shes different most of the other females out there is all the same garbage nicki u ma b**** what she need to do is destroyee all them b****** out there one by one startin with dat washed up queen h**
Nicki sold more albums than anyother female rapper. I love missy, but she has yet to sell as much as nicki.
your magazine are great come memphis tn
Remember when Ashanti first came out they called her the princess of hip-hop and r&b she hasn’t been s*** since her first album dropped!! But w.e Ppl a lot of these magazines and blot sites no nothing about the true art of rap and its annoying. But w.e her star will fade one day #ColeWorld
